Reviews of Chambre double dans maison de caractère

  • Konstantinos from Greece – 23 January 2025 (9/10)

    Πολύ φωτεινό, ευρύχωρο και καθαρό.

    What could be improved: Το δωμάτιο βρίσκεται σε κοινόχρηστο χώρο και υπάρχει κλειδί μόνο για την εξώπορτα και όχι αυτή του δωματίου ούτε του μπάνιου!

  • Isabelle from France – 17 January 2025 (8/10)

    Quartier très agréable et accès facile
    Accueil chaleureux
    Logement super équipé

  • Isadora from Italy – 5 January 2025 (10/10)

    La casa é piccolina ma confortevole.molto pulita e ha tutti i comfort. Ottima posizione per raggiungere il centro. Christine é una persona super affidabile e disponibile . Ci ha fatto sentire come a casa nostra.

  • Cristian from Spain – 1 January 2025 (10/10)

    El departamente es muy bonito, odenado y limpio, con todo lo necesario para pasar una linda estancia. Ademas es muy confortable y calido en invierno.

    What could be improved: No es un deparamento privado, sino que es una habitacion con cocina incluida y baño privado dentro de una residencia de familia. En nuestro caso no represento ningun problema y nos sentimos muy comodos pero deberia especificarse en la descripcion del alojamiento.

  • Tsotne from Georgia – 10 December 2024 (10/10)

    It was clean very lovely house and host

    What could be improved: Toilet was close but not in the room, but big an comfy. Maybe all houses have toilets seperated from room idk. It was fine

  • Nacho from Spain – 9 December 2024 (10/10)

    Trato excepcional de Christine! Un 10!
    La habitación magnifica!

  • Michael from France – 8 November 2024 (10/10)

    Chambre confortable, très bien équipée, dans une rue calme, des hôtes au petits soins.

    Je recommande vivement.

  • Eva from Slovenia – 30 October 2024 (10/10)

    The property is very lovely, clean and incredibly comfortable! The kitchen is fully equipped so is the bathroom.

    The host is responsive and their hospitality is remarkable. The check in and check out process went smoothly, and they even accommodated an earlier check in for us.

    What could be improved: Everything was okay!

  • Oleg from Germany – 5 October 2024 (9/10)

    Very cosy room with all amenities (well equipped kitchen with free drinks and a posh bathroom) in a beautiful old house quite close to the city centre. We we the only guests, the house was empty, it felt like we were living in a small palace.

    What could be improved: The only downside is the paid (and rather expensive) car park. However, it is free on Sundays and Saturday evenings. So if you're lucky enough to be there on Sunday, feel free to park outside of the house, there's plenty of space.

  • Catalina from Germany – 13 September 2024 (5/10)

    It was nice and spacious, responded in a timely manner

    What could be improved: The door did not have a lock. Shared bathroom (with no lock)
