Erholung pur
Das Haus von JLD war für unsere Familienreise mit 3 Paaren perfekt. Alles, vom ersten Mail bis zum heutigen Abschied verlief reibungslos und unkompliziert. Das Haus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand, sehr sauber und liegt in einem prächtigen Garten. Für Sportbegeisterte gibt es einen Fitnessraum und auch Kajaks, ein SUP sowie 2 Fahrräder. Das WLAN st auch fürs Homeoffice geeignet. Istres selber ist nicht die Touristengegend schlechthin, aber für Ausflüge ins Landesinnere oder zum Golfen ist der Ort perfekt. Die beiden empfohlenen Restaurants waren auch erstklassig. Der Kühlschrank mit Crushed Eis war angesichts der grossen Hitze das Tüpfelchen auf dem i. Vielen Dank für die tollen Ferien, wir können dieses Haus und die Gastgeber uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Excellent sejour
Nos hotes comme la maison etait extremement acceuillante.
Le contexte sanitaire actuel nous a fait cherché une maison dans laquelle nous pourrions passer du temps de qualité et cela c'est tres bien appliqué. La maison a tout le confort, en terme d'equipement et d'espace. Pour les environs, les hotes nous ont donné de bons conseils, notemment en terme de restauration, ce qui nous a permi de vivre de jolies experiences culinaires. Bref, des vacances familiales à renouveller ! MErci encore.

Wunderbarer Urlaub direkt am See
Die Beschreibung dem Ferienhaus nicht gerecht - es ist noch viel besser. Wir haben unsere Zeit dort sehr genossen.
Unsere 2 Kinder konnten auf dem riesigen Grundstück ungestört herumtollen.
Die technische Einrichtung, ob Küche, Jalousien, Wifi, etc. - ist auf dem neuesten Stand.
Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und bemühen sich jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen.
Istres als Ausgangspunkt für diverse Aktivitäten ist sehr geeignet.
Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.

Sehr zuvorkommender und freundlicher Vermieter, wunderschön gelegenes u. ausgestattetes Haus
Wir haben mit 3 Kindern einen sehr erholsamen und erlebnisreichen Urlaub verbracht. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Einweisung / leider nur auf französisch, was aber trotzdem klappte. Sauberes und sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten und reichlich Komfort. Super Pool und wunderschön gelegen am See, der mit Paddelboot super nutzbar war. Fahrrad vor Ort zum morgendlichen Baguette-holen. Gratis Feuerwerk immer Donnerstags was sehr beeindruckend vom eigenen Steg am See zu beobachten war. Das Mittelmeer in 25min zu erreichen (Plage de Napoleon). Das Haus wurde 2x pro Woche von der freundlichen Haushälterin sehr dezent gereinigt (was nicht zwingend notwendig wäre, aber sehr zuvorkommend) Insgesamt ein Platz für einen sehr erholsamen und erlebnisreichen Urlaub! Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Superbe maison dans un environnement reposant
Séjour parfait !
La maison est un petit bijou (voir photos) et très propre avec une bonne literie. A l'arrière se situe avec une grande terrasse et un vaste jardin avec vue sur le lac...ce qui est très agréable et apaisant! Un petit chemin proche de la maison vous amène au centre ville d'istres en longeant l'étang, ce qui est très pratique et très agréable (15-20 minutes à pied ou encore à vélo pour les croissants du matin ;-))
A l'extrémité du jardin, se trouve un ponton sur l'étang très agréable pour l'apéro et pour regarder le superbe feu d'artifice des jeudis étoilés d'Istres. Nous étions aux premières loges avec les reflets sur le lac ...magique.
La piscine (sans chlore) est très agréable et le coin salon tout proche également.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la mise à disposition de jeux de piscine, de la table de ping-pong, des canoés et paddle et des vélos.
Merci à Mr Murati qui a veillé à nous envoyer toutes les informations d'activités avant notre départ et veille à ce que tout ce se passe bien en permanence.
Bref séjour parfait ...tout cela nous manque déjà ;-)

Spacieux
Belle maison très spacieuse et décorée avec goût. Jardin très agréable (les hamacs!) et piscine avec excellent système d'entretien (pas de chlore). Le fait de pouvoir utiliser les kayak et canoës est un grand plus. Très bonne situation avec vue sur l'étang (lac) et à 20 min. à pied d'Istres. Notez que ce n'est pas une maison de vacances mais la maison familiale qui est louée pendant les congés. L'occupation idéale est de 6 pers. occupant les 3 chambres puisque le bureau forme une unité avec le living.
Nous y avons passé un séjour agréable.
