We arrived here in June 2011 to a very warm welcome from Diane and Bill. The gite had everything you could require and was well maintained and very well fitted. There were two couples and the layout suited us very well.The hosts were on hand to deal with any queries and to offer advice on places to visit etc. All in all a great holiday. |
