דירה יפה ומעוצבת עם כניסה פרטית
Pros:

שהינו בדירה מרווחת ונוחה, עם כל הריהוט והכלים הנחוצים. העיצוב נעים והבעלים אדיב ותקשורתי. אהבנו את הדירה ואת הסביבה, קרוב למסעדות ולחנויות.. יש בריכה קטנה בתוך אולם סגור, טרקלין מרוהט בצורה מקסימה. ללא חימום, מתאים לטבילה נעימה.

Cons:

הכל היה טוב

Havre de paix

Petit appartement très bien agencé dans îlots de maisonnettes en pierre de taille, décoration avec beaucoup de goût, beaux matériaux, beaux objets, literie confortable, rooftop commun avec une belle vue sur les collines..

Offre de tavernes limitées dans le village mais peu gênés car nous en avons trouvé une superbe à 15mn en voiture
