Nous avons eu une chambre sans fenĂȘtre, la seule maniĂšre d’aĂ©rer Ă©tant de laisser la porte ouverte.... trĂšs moyen vu la situation sanitaire actuelle du pays....

Bien et paisible en week end.

Petit studio coquet. Neuf. Literie confortable. Seuls bémols : pas d intimité dans La douche qui est ouverte sur le séjour ( délimitée par un paravent) et pas de rideau occultant.

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.
