Super séjour et magnifique région

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine, malgré une météo capricieuse. Gite tres bien situé pour de nombreuses visites et randonnées . Beaucoup de bons conseils dans le classeur du gite pour restauration, fermes, visites et randonnées. Gite tres agréable, au calme, bien équipé, vue splendide du jardin sur les monts. Un vrai bonheur. L’annonce correspond tout a fait a ce que nous avons vu et vécu. Vivement conseillé pour famille . Nous reviendrons avec grand plair tant il reste a faire.

Une belle découverte !

Gîte au cœur du massif du sancy avec de nombreuses balades merveilleuses à faire autour des nombreux lacs et sites aux vues spectaculaires. Hors saison nous etions seuls au monde c'était génial avec notre gros chien. Mais attention restaurants et commerces fermés à cette période. Gîte très grand idéal en famille ou entres amis. On reviendra avec un temps meilleur ( en pleine tempête Frederico)...
