Off the Path Hideaway

Somewhat remote location but we had no issue reaching the venue. Instructions from the owner were clear and concise and we had no issues accessing the process even though we were driving a larger van. Sleeping accommodation were great and we slept well. Spotted some local wildlife and overall a restful stay. Would recommend this to anyone looking to get away!

Cadre idéal, calme, verdoyant, dépaysant.Logement agréable et confortable, tout à disposition, plus qu'il n'en faudrait du coup manque de rangements dans une des chambres car placards déjà bien remplis (compliqué lorsque l'on a un enfant en bas âge et donc beaucoup de valises...) Petit bémol : télé en panne, quelques petites saletés...Communication SMS avec les propriétaires qui semblaient agréables, nous aurions cependant apprécié de les rencontrer pour plus de fluidité et facilité dans les échanges et gestion d'aléas. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, c'est à découvrir quoi qu'il en soit, ça vaut le détour.

Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé 10 jours dans cette petite maison bien équipée, dans un endroit très calme et très ombragé, ce qui en fait un lieu idéal pour séjourner avec de jeunes enfants. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la maison et la piscine est agréable. La communication avec les hôtes est très facile. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Petit havre de paix dans la Drôme Provençale

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre nuit chez Aurore ! Le logement se trouve dans un joli lotissement, caché dans une clairière. Malgré la chaleur écrasante ce weekend, nous avons pu nous rafraîchir dans la grande piscine à disposition des résidents. Dans la petite maison où nous dormions, il y avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Bref, c'était parfait. Je recommande.

Séjour très agréable

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette petite villa en février. L’endroit est très agréable et pratique, et nous avons particulièrement apprécié le calme ambiant, la plupart des autres maisons étant inoccupées à cette période. Le cadre est idéal pour se reposer, et nous avons très bien dormi.L’arrivée sur les lieux est extrêmement simple, et l’organisation permet une grande flexibilité. Par ailleurs, lorsque nous avons eu besoin d’informations, le contact a été facile et les propriétaires se sont montrés très réactifs.Au final, tout était réuni pour un séjour parfaitement réussi. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
