Reviews
Guesthouse tres propre et bien entretenue. Au depart, je ne voulais pas partager de salle de bains, mais avec les 3 salles de bain pour 6 chambres, aucun souci et elles sont tres propres.
Quelques petits bemols : le chauffage reglé a fond. Et manque un peu de produits de base a la cuisine : huile /vinaigre / poivre, mais l’avantage est que nous pouvpns emprunter aux voisins de chambre.
Le propriétaire tient le restaurant en fave, et fait entièrement confiance. Il est disponible au besoin.
A recommander pour ceux qui cherchent une guedthouse a petite taille, notamment pour une 1ere expérience comme nous.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this guesthouse and would rent again
