Magnifique propriété champêtre et bien située

Le cadre est superbe (l'île privée !), spacieux, bien aménagé... et sans moustiques malgré la rivière ! Le logement est très spacieux, avec tous les aménagements nécessaires. La gestion par Maria et Bob est efficace et très aimable. Bref, un lieu parfait pour le repos (et les visites, si vous arrivez à le quitter !).

We stayed at this property for ten days and it did not disappoint. Truly a magical spot that offer the right amount of privacy but also is central to many great local destinations. Highly recommend it to those people who want to escape the city.

Charming Property

August 2019 We have just come back from a beautifully relaxing stay at this lovely home. Everything was catered for and the pictures don't do the setting justice. We saw wildlife in the river including two kingfishers and relaxing evenings chatting under the stars. My family and I would highly recommend staying at this great property. Thank you Christina you where a very helpful and kind host.
