Tolle Unterkunft in einer alten Abtey. Ideal um Urlaub in der Natur zu machen oder mit Freunden gemeinsam
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2020
Très bonne semaine passée à occuper les deux gîtes du hameau de Cherlieu avec un groupe d'une quinzaine de personnes (12 adultes et 4 enfants en bas âge). Les deux gîtes sont bien équipés et offrent une expérience assez rare puisque les corps de bâtiment faisaient partie des dépendances de l'abbaye adjacente (malheureusement en ruine). Le soir, l'absence totale de pollution visuelle permet d'observer les étoiles avec une facilité rare, en août les étoiles filantes se succèdent à un rythme incroyable ! Accueil attentionné et très sympathique.
