Our RWC Trip to France
We loved the gite, it was clean, everything was well catered for and it had a great setting. Michel and Martine were great hosts and left us to enjoy our holiday but were around if we needed them. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and would recommend to friends to stay there and we would gladly go back. The rugby matches we saw in St Etienne were great, fantastic atmosphere and great to watch with people from so many different countries attending.

A wonderful place to relax
We had an amazing vacation, the pool was cleaned everyday and the gite is beautiful with all you would need for a lovely stay. The nearby villages and historical sites are amazing. The hosts are extremely helpful even though our French wasn't very good! We will practice and learn ready for our next trip. Merci beaucoup nous manquons deja nos vacances.

Gite très agréable
Gîte très bien équipé au calme et dans la verdure, seul bémol : il n'y a pas quatre chambres mais seulement deux de 4 couchages (dont 2 en mezzanine) et il n'y a aucune isolation phonique entre séjour et chambres (plancher simple) ... quand on séjourne avec des bébés ça oblige à chuchoter !

Séjour au gîte de Vousse
Nous sommes partis en famille avec deux jeunes couples de 20 à 23 ans, un adolescent de 15 ans et nous couple de 47-50ans. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour : balades, randonnées, canoë-kayak et marchés locaux, ainsi que la visite du Puy-en-Velay . La piscine a été appréciée de tout le monde, fous rires garantis ! Le gîte est très agréable, il y a exactement deux chambres qui ont chacune une mezzanine avec respectivement un grand lit double et deux lits simples. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et sont de très bons conseils. Nous recommandons vivement !!!
