Great value for money in a well equiped gite.
A beautiful quiet part of France with large attractive valleys and stunning scenery from the top of the volcanoes. The gites are situated overlooking a small river and for much of the time this was all you could hear. The hosts were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble and although the gites are not super luxurious they are comfortable with everything you need and great value. There are a lot of walks with fantastic scenery in the surrounding area. Guillaume is the local fishing guru for the area full of advice and offers lessons or escorted fishing trips. If you like the outdoors and outdoor activities this area is well worth a visit.

Un très bon gîte en plein milieu de la nature entourée de poules et chevaux, avec en prime la douceur du petit ruisseau. Un emplacement idéal pour profiter de l'ensemble de la région. Des hôtes très accueillants, proposant des activités dont la découverte des marmottes et ayant plein de recommandations de visites à faire. En résumé : nous sommes prêts à revenir.

Au petit paradis des amoureux de la nature
Lieu de vacances que je recommande vivement pour son calme, la sérénité qui y règne, l'accueil, le logement très bien équipé pour des vacances, le lieu idéal pour des vacances au vert et ressourçantes. Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire aux alentours. Accueil parfait de Guillaume et Sarah qui sont très disponibles et à l'écoute du bien être de leurs vacanciers, tout en restant discrets. Mes garçons ont adorés cet endroit où les animaux gambadent à leur guise, mais également pour les connaissances de Guillaume sur les volcans, les oiseaux, et bien sûr la pêche! Merci à vous pour cette très bonne semaine qui nous a fait un bien fou, je dis petit paradis car le retour à la réalité a été un peu rude pour nous le dimanche. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain, et en avons déjà parlé à notre voisin, mordu de pêche.! Bonne continuation à 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 promiscuité, mais la clientèle étant discrète et agréable, ça n’a pas été un problème. Petit bémol cependant sur la propreté de la location, peut mieux faire.
