LA bonne étape.

Des hôtes aux petits soins et charmants, un hébergement excellent et un petit déjeuner d'anthologie. Bref, une étape a chaleureusement recommander. Le seul bémol : en discutant avec les hôtes, l'on finit par partir avec du retard... et sans le regretter !

Wonderful!

Wonderful! The landlady was extremely welcoming. She provided a bed and all kinds of toys for our baby daughter. The room was cosy, the living space and kitchen well-equipped. The breakfast was copious and good as well. We felt actually a bit guilty to get all of this for what we paid.

Excellent accueil et endroit charmant

Accueil parfait ! Des hôtes bienveillants, de bon conseil et au petit soin pour nous. Le petit-déjeuner très complet et proposé avec des produits fait-maison vaut le détour (comptez 6€ par personne en plus de la réservation pour en profiter). L'endroit est aussi merveilleusement calme et la piscine à disposition est un plus très appréciable ! Je recommande vivement La Maison de Barbara :)
