“Fabulous,spotless holiday rental in wonderful surroundings”
Everything about Gite du Lavande ticked the boxes that we were looking for in a holiday rental, but we did not expect was the wonderful hospitality & welcome from Tony & Ann. The gite is spotlessy clean and they have taken their knowledge to a different level when considering the needs of holidaymakers. There are safety gates on both top & bottom of the stairs and a suitable selection of toys & games for the children. We would hope that any other holidaymakers are not put off with the fact that the owners live on site, Tony & Ann are there to be called upon if needed for advice or help, but keep a discrete distance if that is what is preferred. The gite is a credit to the owners who don't realise what a wonderful place they have created.
