Sincerement, passez tous les commentaires negatifs et foncez à l’arbre de vie ! Nous avons passé un sejour exceptionnel en compagnie de Stephane et Kumar. Ils sont super disponible, de bons conseils et a l’écoute ! Petite mention spéciale pour la cuisine de kumar et les fous rire avec Stéphane. Si on doit revenir a la reunion, on repassera sans hésiter !

Stephane war ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber, abends bei einem Kaltgetränk zusammen zu sitzen und zu quatschen, war äußerst entspannend und angenehm. Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und man sollte sich keinesfalls das Abendessen entgehen lassen, wenn es angeboten wird.

Dépaysement à St Joseph

Découverte sympathique. Dommage qu’on ai pas pu profiter du jardin qui a subit le passage du cyclone belal la semaine dernière. Stephane nous a mis à l’aise dès notre arrivée. Le petit déjeuner était très bon avec des produits de qualité. Dommage qu’on ai pas pu goûter la cuisine car le cuisinier était en congé. Donc on reviendra pour la goûter.
