Midden in de natuur en dichtbij Quillan
Mooie gite met uitzicht op de bergen. Midden in de natuur en toch vlakbij Quillan. Fijne plungepool en buitendouche op relaxt terras met optimale privacy (nergens inkijk). Heel compleet qua inrichting.Eenvoudige maar goede maaltijdservice en we konden zelfs een lekker menu eten in hun salon. We vinden het een aanrader want Sicco en Marina zijn een goede gastheer-/vrouw en hadden leuke tips voor uitstapjes in de buurt. We gaan zeker terug.
