Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce gîte très spacieux et hyper bien équipé.
L'accueil était très sympa malgré le fait que nous avons été un peu en retard par rapport à ce que nous avions annoncé.
Nous revenions, après 20ans, dans la région que nous avions fréquenté pendant de longues années pour nos vacances. Que de bons souvenirs!

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message. Réponse un peu tardive de notre part, toutes nos excuses! Nous sommes vraiment heureux que vous ayez profité de votre séjour, et commandons la neige pour votre prochain passage chez nous :-) Bien cordialement, Charles et Annick
Gite très spacieux, très bien équipé, bien décoré dans le style montagnard. Petit bémol la table de la salle à manger trop près du mur et manque une télé dans la salle à manger, cuisine.
Impeccable! Le chalet est extrêmement propre, à faire pâlir de jalousie bien des hôtels.
Il est décoré de façon raffinée, du bon goût et de la chaleur dans les moindres détails, surequipe, il n'y manque rien!
Nous avons tout adoré, de la grande table pour manger tous ensemble, aux moments passés au coin du feu, aux chambres double permettant au couple d'avoir leur espace. Merci :)

Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de communiquer vos impressions quant à votre séjour. Cela nous fait énormément plaisir que vous avez apprécié l'équipement et l'ambiance du gîte. Nous espérons pouvoir vous accueillir à nouveau lors de votre prochain séjour dans les Alpes du Sud.
Magnifique maison, spacieuse, bien aménagée et équipée.
Nous avons passé un charmant weekend prolongé, en famille. La maison est adaptée à tous les âges.
La localisation est très agréable, l'espace autour de la maison, la vue, la proximité de Seyne et des stations.
L'endroit doit être aussi très agréable en été !
Gite très bien équipé. Rien ne manque !
L’environnement et la vue sont superbes. Beaucoup d’activités tout autour. Très bonne semaine avec toute la famille .

Séjour inoubliable en Haute-Provence
Nous avons loué une semaine fin février 2016 le gîte des Silves, location décidée depuis plusieurs mois. Ancienne ferme rénovée et décorée avec goût par les propriétaires, qui ont mis en valeur leur patrimoine pour le rendre attrayant : le bois omniprésent a conservé toute sa place. Le gîte est très confortable, impeccable et bien chauffé pour 8 personnes avec la possibilité d'accueillir 5 à 6 personnes de plus notamment dans la mezzanine au dessus de la vaste pièce à vivre. Le grand luxe : vue sur la montagne alentour, salon autour de la cheminée, quatre chambres, deux salles de bains, deux toilettes ! L'équipement est récent et adapté pour un long séjour. La situation du gîte près d'un village est idéale pour visiter la région en toutes saisons. Bref, nous recommandons chaudement ce lieu.
