“La maison est très belle, et très bien équipée”
“La maison est top ! Le jardin est très agréable et la piscine est un vrai plus : l’eau est bonne même en avril. La maison est très bien entretenue, rien à redire. Il y a la climatisation réversible (chauffage/clim) dans chaque chambre ainsi que dans le salon. Des toilettes sont disponibles à chaque étage. À l’extérieur, on peut aussi faire des barbecues. Nous avons même eu droit à un délicieux repas préparé par la famille le dimanche de Pâques ! Je recommande à 200 % !”
