Un trĂšs bon gĂźte en plein milieu de la nature entourĂ©e de poules et chevaux, avec en prime la douceur du petit ruisseau. Un emplacement idĂ©al pour profiter de l'ensemble de la rĂ©gion. Des hĂŽtes trĂšs accueillants, proposant des activitĂ©s dont la dĂ©couverte des marmottes et ayant plein de recommandations de visites Ă  faire. En rĂ©sumĂ© : nous sommes prĂȘts Ă  revenir.

Au petit paradis des amoureux de la nature

Lieu de vacances que je recommande vivement pour son calme, la sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© qui y rĂšgne, l'accueil, le logement trĂšs bien Ă©quipĂ© pour des vacances, le lieu idĂ©al pour des vacances au vert et ressourçantes. Il y a beaucoup de choses Ă  faire aux alentours. Accueil parfait de Guillaume et Sarah qui sont trĂšs disponibles et Ă  l'Ă©coute du bien ĂȘtre de leurs vacanciers, tout en restant discrets. Mes garçons ont adorĂ©s cet endroit oĂč les animaux gambadent Ă  leur guise, mais Ă©galement pour les connaissances de Guillaume sur les volcans, les oiseaux, et bien sĂ»r la pĂȘche! Merci Ă  vous pour cette trĂšs bonne semaine qui nous a fait un bien fou, je dis petit paradis car le retour Ă  la rĂ©alitĂ© a Ă©tĂ© un peu rude pour nous le dimanche. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain, et en avons dĂ©jĂ  parlĂ© Ă  notre voisin, mordu de pĂȘche.! Bonne continuation Ă  vous pour vos projets. Virginie, Mathias et Corentin

Lieu de sejour assez bien situé pour qui aime randonner dans la nature

C’est un village de locations, donc avec un peu de promiscuitĂ©, mais la clientĂšle Ă©tant discrĂšte et agrĂ©able, ça n’a pas Ă©tĂ© un problĂšme. Petit bĂ©mol cependant sur la propretĂ© de la location, peut mieux faire.
