A perfect house for a few days in the mountains
Very complete house, very comfortable beds. Perfect garden for eating outdoors and enough space inside if the weather is not permitting. Two separate toilets and a room with a bathtub and shower. The surroundings are incredible. We will return.

Amazing views in a charming village!
The house is very beautiful and cozy. It has a wonderful rustic charm. The outdoor space is lovely. There is a patio with table and chairs and a small yard. And there is a small balcony on the second floor with a stunning view. The host and property manager were very helpful and quick to respond! A few things to note that weren't explicit in the listing: the towels and linens are not provided in the VRBO price. Our group opted to bring our own towels and linens (sheets and pillow cases) to avoid the extra charge. We also opted to tidy the space ourselves (not a deep clean) to avoid an additional cleaning charge. A stock of fire wood for the wood stove in the living is available for an additional charge as well. Overall, my group and I had an incredible stay! It was a relaxing environment and an accomodating host.

Achtung: Wundervolles Objekt grauenhafte Gastgeberin
Wir empfehlen dringend nicht hier zu mieten! So not rent here! Das Haus ist wirklich toll, modern, gut ausgestattet und tolle Lage. Die Vermieterin ist aber wirklich, und wir kƶnnen es kaum deutlich genug betonen, die schlimmste Person die man sich bei einer Vermietung nur vorstellen kann. 1. Hat sich die Vermieterin strikt geweigert uns eine Rechnung auszustellen, die wir als Pfadfinder fĆ¼r kirchliche ZuschĆ¼sse dringend brauchen. FĆ¼r uns bedeutet eine fehlende Rechnung teils einen Verlust von mehreren hundert Euro ZuschĆ¼ssen. Auch bei KassenprĆ¼fungen ist dies ein enormes Problem. 2. Haben wir versehentlich einen Spiegel kaputt gemacht und dies auch direkt mit Foto und Zusicherung der Zahlung gemeldet und dennoch haben wir eine sehr emotional aufgeladene und unprofessionelle E-Mail bekommen. "Bƶse Personen", "Diebe", "Unehrlich", "Respektlos". Wir kƶnnen uns fĆ¼r den Spiegel nur entschuldigen, das war wirklich ein versehen und gezahlt haben wir ihn auch aber diese Nachrichten waren absolut unangemessen. 3. Hat die Dame im Nachgang unzƤhlige angebliche SchƤden gefunden, die sie uns betrĆ¼gerisch in Rechnung stellen wollte. Die Gesamterfahrung wurde durch diesen tragischen Kontakt unglaublich geschmƤlert weswegen wir dringend jedem abraten dieses Haus zu mieten. Wer sich weigert Rechnungen fĆ¼r durchgefĆ¼hrte Zahlungen auszustellen und SchƤden erfindet sollte nicht auf hiesigen Plattformen vermieten dĆ¼rfen!

Lieu trĆØs agrĆ©able sur les hauteurs du village. TrĆØs belle vue de toutes les piĆØces. En particulier de la terrasse et de la cuisine. Un petit ruisseau murmure agrĆ©ablement en dessous d'une des chambres. Un lieu de retraite agrĆ©able Ć  tous points de vue, avec tout le confort moderne. La salle de bains est Ć©galement trĆØs belle. Nous avons passĆ© un sĆ©jour trĆØs agrĆ©able.

Beau gite, probable ancienne maison de famille avec mobilier dā€™Ć©poque (pas de contact direct propriĆ©taire), que nous avons surtout apprĆ©ciĆ© pour sa vue sur la vallĆ©e (notamment depuis la cuisine) et le village de Castillon.

A hidden pearl ... worth discovering
Refuge de Coustou is a charming, spacious, authentic house with modern comfort (bathroom, kitchen, high speed internet, cable, BBQ, ...). It has a stunning gardenview over the valley. The situation in the village makes it a quite relaxing place. Stores available in village. Parking is no problem in village. Owner responds quickly and correct. Check-in contact is very friendly and helpful. Sheets and towels were clean and pleasant to use. House is furnished in authentic style. One must not hesitate to book a stay there!

Maxi confort dans une superbe vallƩe!
Le gite du coustou est encore mieux que sur les photos! La maison est magnifique et tres confortable. La vue est superbe. Si je peux me permettre, il manque simplement un parasol pour passer plus de temps sur la terrasse, tres bien exposƩe. Nous etions 4 adultes et 4 enfants et la maison etait bien adaptƩe Ơ la circulation permanente. La patisserie de castillon fait des sablƩs maison et des croustades Ơ gouter absolument. La vallƩe propose de multiples randonnƩes pour tous les niveaux, avec tjrs une vue imprenable sur le Vallier. Super sejour et un grand merci a Aurelie et Ơ Isabelle pour leur gentillesse et disponibilitƩ.
