Bon séjour au gîte du calme. Mais je trouve dommage de ne pas avoir vu la propriétaire. Ni à mon arrivée ni à mon départ. En gîte pour la première fois j’aurais aimé avoir plus de renseignements. Surtout au petit déjeuner. Mais pas important. Le gîte porte bien son nom. Le gîte du calme est vraiment calme et reposant.

Onvoldoende

Goedkoop en daarbij is alles gezegd. Veel insecten, spinnenweb, vochtig (handdoeken met slechte geur). Niemand bij aankomst en bij vertrek. Geen werkende internet. Slecht ontbijt (droog brood, jam potten bijna leeg, kaas vloot ook bijna leeg, 3 appelsienen voor fruitsap voor 2 personen). Zeker niet voor herhaling vatbaar

merci pour le conseil des fermes charentaises ou nous avons pu nous régaler pour le déjeuner ; cependant , nous étions déçus par le petit déjeuner ( pain et croissant pas frais ) et par le lit inconfortable ( on sentait les ressorts )

Petit week-end tranquille

La maison offre de grandes chambres qui mériteraient d’avoir une literie plus grande (140) et un peu plus confortable pour certaines. L’hôtesse est absolument charmante et très discrète. Le jardin est magnifique et calme, nous n’avons hélas pas eu le temps d’en profiter, ni de la piscine.
