Trois nuits à Liu Caleb, c’est comme une semaine entière de vacances.
Pros:

Le caractère authentique des chambres dans les maisons provençales, l’environnement en l’épine nature au milieu du village, l’immense serviabilité du personnel.

Cons:

Nous avons tout aimé, et avons juste suggéré que les serviettes soient changées chaque jour.

Loved it and will come again!
Pros:

We loved everything about Lou Calen! The owners are fabulous, kind and hospitable. The B&B is quaint, comfortable - what we call ‘brilliant basics’. The views are to die for, it’s so quiet and the swimming poool added a little luxe. It’s so reasonable priced and the perfect based to hope around the surrounding hilltop towns and villages. A slighter older crowd (we’re 30) but it didn’t matter, if anything it had def to the charm. Would stay again.

Cons:

Room a little dark!

Fin byggnad, rum och trägård. Men personalen har ingen koll, det måste bli bättre.
Pros:

Jag tyckte om läget, rummet och trädgården.

Cons:

Dålig information av personalen. De hade allmänt dålig koll på saker.
