Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la Tanière.Sophie, la gérante était parfaite, elle a su répondre à toutes nos requêtes. Nous lui avons directement fait part de nos déceptions, à savoir:- une chambre n'a pas de fenêtre- le dortoir est une mezzanine, donc ce n'est pas une chambre fermée.A part cela, le chalet est beau, bien situé et agréable pour passer du temps en famille. Merci encore Sophie.

Nous avons pris chacune de vos remarques en compte afin d’améliorer les séjours de nos prochains voyageurs et de rendre chaque expérience encore plus agréable, et nous vous en remercions sincèrement.
