Excellente adresse

Un accueil agrĂ©able, une chambre spacieuse, bien dĂ©corĂ©e, bien Ă©quipĂ©e, bien conçue - le tout dans un environnement calme. Pour ne rien gacher, des lits trĂšs confortables- et un plancher rĂ©frigĂ©rant efficace malgrĂ© les 36 degrĂ©s extĂ©rieur tout en Ă©tant moins agressif qu’une climatisation . Les sanitaires, la literie et la douche trĂšs propre - le sol un peu moins (tout en restant correct) Un quasi sans faute pour notre sĂ©jour de deux nuits avec deux enfants pour un rapport qualitĂ©/prix imbattable. Nous y retournerons.
