One of the loveliest stays we have experienced in a unique place. The peniche is exquisite and cosy. Some people might not like sharing the common spaces with other guests. However, we had the place to ourselves 2 nights in a row and met lovely people at the breakfast table. A place like no others. There could be more comfortable chairs in the living room if the weather was inclement.

Glorified floatlng youth hotile

The welcome girl, was not very welcoming. A smile would have been nice. The toilet made a grinding noise every 30 mins. I felt the place was more suitable for youngers that like living together in a glorified youth hostile. View from bed and toilet was the best.

Underbart boende

Underbart boende i Nantes! Trevligt bemötande & fint rum. Frukosten serverades varje morgon, annars fanns det möjlighet att anvÀnda köket & kÀnna sig som hemma. BÄten Àr tillrÀckligt stor för att en inte ska behöva trÀngas med andra gÀster. Ljuvligt att kunna Àta middag ute pÄ dÀck efter en dag pÄ stan. En liten promenad till spÄrvagnen som tar en direkt in till centrala Nantes. Perfekt boende med familj!

Unable to get past the gate to park our vehicle. Fortunately someone unrelated to the property was able to get us through. Once we parked, we were unable to get into the property. Had another guest not arrived shortly before we did, we would have been unable to get in. There was no one to greet or check us in. A staff member arrived in the morning to prep a breakfast. Most unusual check-in process I’ve ever experienced. Had we known this in advance, we would not have booked this reservation. Our travel partners and other patrons also experienced the same frustration we did. Other than that, the barge was nicely appointed, our room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was simple but delicious.

Bucolique et hors du temps

Une escapade entre deux temps, qui permet de prendre du recul sur la course du quotidien. PrĂ©paration du sĂ©jour et contact avec le personnel excellent et toujours bon accueil et rĂ©ponse clair. Sur place, dĂ©couverte des lieux, en libertĂ©. Tout Ă©tant organisĂ© avant, il n'a pas Ă©tĂ© utile d'avoir un accueil physique, et une visite des lieux avec un regard de dĂ©couvreur...tout est indiquĂ©. Aux besoins, un appel et ...une rĂ©ponse 👍. A part cela, c'est une pĂ©niche, et les petits animaux ont leur place. Excellent moment en amoureux...je conseille.
