    Vidsträckt fantastisk utsikt. Hemmamiljö. Kom i rätt tid för att få plocka biggaråer 😋

    Super nette Gastgeber, familiärer Empfang und sie haben uns gute Tipps geben können. Möglichkeit einer Gemeinschaftsküche war sehr gut. Mit Hund absolut empfehlenswert. Pool war schön, Unterkunft nahe an großen Verbindungsstraßen und doch ländlich...

Denis et Marie-France
la Maison de Barbara est une ancienne ferme que nous avons aménagé au fil du temps, l'ancienne étable s'est transformée en chambre, la grange est devenue la salle de vie de nos voyageurs. Nous avons des espaces très lumineux avec une véranda. Nous avons également aménagé les espaces extérieurs avec un grand verger, une piscine, des zones fleuries. Nous laissons la liberté à nos voyageurs de choisir uniquement la location de la chambre sans le petit-déjeuner ou bien de demander à l'arrivée le service d'un petit-déjeuner, dans ce cas, facturation en sus.
Nous adorons recevoir et pouvoir échanger avec nos voyageurs. Nous aimons les voyages, nous sommes bricoleurs.
Le hameau est très calme, la maison est dans un jardin de 8000m2 avec vue sur les Monts du Forez. Repos garanti. Pour vos repas, restaurants à Gannat à 10 minutes.
