Les points forts : Propreté, arrivée, communication et emplacement
A few positives, a few negatives
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house is a stone's throw from the village square (and bar, and itinerant pizza van) and the locals made us feel welcome. The swimming pool is private and a welcome relief from the scorching weather. There are nice bushes and lawn space.
Overall the condition of the flat (there are neighbours upstairs with wooden floors) is in great need of modernisation, especially the kitchen. There was a broken drawer, no kettle, no chopping board other than the breadboard, lumps missing from the limited worktop and no storage cupboards for food. The cutlery and utensils were ok and plentiful but the one kitchen knife was bendy and blunt. Crockery was good and lots of it in the wardrobe in the lounge. Emptying the bins requires a trudge up the hill.
The lounge diner is dull with inadequate seating for more than 4 and the TV wasn't working on all channels and we got a shock off it. The table is an outdoor table with a transparent vinyl sheet laid over it.
The beds were great but bedrooms somewhat Spartan.
The building is on a steep hill and the owners don't wish visitors to park inside the gate. The overgrown bushes would rather inhibit that anyway but it does mean parking out of sight at the bottom of the hill. Not that we wanted them, but there was no sign of the listed hottub or sauna.
Overall the whole place needs a complete makeover and modernisation and for the price paid we were expecting some elements of luxury not a feeling of 'make-do'
