Detta ställe är en hel vibe! Den privata trädgården är perfekt för avkopplande häng, och tallarna ger stora skogs känslor, Plus, super nära sjön och stranden för alla vattensporter, Low-key älskade den mysiga eldstaden också, Kommer definitivt tillbaka!

Wat een heerlijk toevluchtsoord! Het huis was prachtig ingericht en had alles wat we nodig hadden voor onze gezinsvakantie, We genoten vooral van het ruime terras met uitzicht op het dennenbos, perfect voor koffie in de ochtend, De nabijheid van het meer en de oceaan was een groot pluspunt voor onze kinderen die dol waren op de zandstranden

Un ottimo posto per le famiglie! Avevamo abbastanza spazio per tutti, e i bambini adoravano gli sport acquatici nelle vicinanze, La posizione era tranquilla e ci siamo sentiti a casa nello spazio abitativo accogliente, L'unico svantaggio era che avremmo voluto rimanere più a lungo!

Questo posto è un vero gioiello! La disposizione della casa era fantastica, soprattutto con tre camere da letto confortevoli, Abbiamo trascorso i nostri pomeriggi a rilassarci sulla terrazza, godendoci la vista dei pini, Inoltre, essere così vicini a diverse opzioni di ristorazione è stato molto comodo

Excellent spot

The house is very well maintained and located in a lovely and quiet part of the forest, yet still close to the lake. The owners - Céline & Stéphane - gave us a warm welcome and were very responsive to our messages. The house has all the equipment you need to feel at home, is decorated with very high standards and excellent taste. We recommend this location.

Schönes helles Haus im

Das Haus is sehr neu und mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Man merkt, dass die Vermieter es selber auch sehr gerne nutzen. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Celine und Stephane haben uns herzlich begrüßt und verabschiedet. Einzige kleine Kritik: Für mehr Personen wären eventuell ein weiterer großer Topf und eine große Pfanne gut. Die Umgebung ist ebenfalls sehr ansprechend. Pinienwald, See oder Meer bieten viele Möglichkeiten sich zu erholen. Vielen Dank Celine und Stephane!

Agréable séjour au milieu des pins

La maison est très agréable, décorée avec goût, fonctionnelle et parfaitement équipée. Elle est située au cœur d’une forêt de pins, à proximité des pistes cyclables menant à Maubuisson et à Carcans plage. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille !

Wir waren mit dem Empfang durch die Eigentümer sehr zufrieden. Das Haus war sehr gepflegt und modern eingerichtet. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Da der Garten neu angelegt war, kann man nur sagen, dass wenn es etwas zugewachsener ist man auch ein herrliches Außengelände hat. Ein vierter Liegestuhl wäre toll bzw. für alle Gäste einen.
