We had a very pleasant stay here! The pool was great (though you can only use it between 10am-12pm and 2-4pm every day) and we got lucky with very sunny weather most of the week. The nature surrounding the house is beautiful, the supermarket a 5 min drive away and the host Laurent very helpful, answering our questions straight away whenever I texted him. Though the site said kitchen linen would be provided, be mindful of the fact that it’s 1 kitchen towel and you might want to take more with you (towels for the toilets and bathrooms too). The non-stick coating of some of the pans in the kitchen was coming off, so some of them should probably be replaced. But overall, there were enough utensils, cutlery, plates, etc. for our group of eight. We were there during the last two weekends of August, which is when the town festival happens (which we were properly warned about thanks to the hosts). If you’re debating whether or not to go during that time: there’ll be loud party music next door, with a bass that made our car alarm go off and the lights in the bedroom flicker, on Fridays and Saturdays until about 2 or 3am. As we didn’t go to bed much earlier than that most evenings, it was alright, but the last Friday before check-out it did bother us, and we didn’t get much sleep. The showers were great, the house was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The only real downside was the noisiness of the house. Half of the beds are in ‘open’ bedrooms, meaning there are no walls or doors between them and the living room downstairs. The other half are in a room above the kitchen, but despite that room having a door, you could hear everything that was said downstairs. So, if you’re traveling in a group that isn’t on the same sleep schedule, this might not be the right place for you. The house is, like others have already stated, a little dark. But it’s beautiful and the garden is absolutely lovely, as is the sauna. I think back on our week there fondly. Thank you!
