We had an excellent stay in the gîte. The place is a perfect place like a home away from home we have had our family time; The six of us cooked, ate, chatted in the lounge with the fireplace passing the New Year’s Eve. It is a memorable time for us, thank you.

We spent a lovely week at your gîte, playing in the pool, fishing at Illiat, exploring the local medieval town, it was all lovely. The children have become experts at jumping in and splashing us, not sure if that is such a good thing 🙂 and we’re all leaving happier and more relaxed than when we first arrived. Thank you again,

Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your wonderful gîte. The weather has been perfect and so has your gîte. The tiramisu was delicious. Thank you so much! The only bad point is that we only book one week here and should have booked two! Thank you again.

Love, xxxx
