Super beautiful location, very friendly host and hostess, an oasis of tranquility in beautiful nature, ideal for a group of friends or family.
Feeling like we are staying with acquaintances
Kaat uit Beernem (BE) schreef in July 2026 op Google :
Our stay was very relaxing (despite 9 small children). The spacious rooms and separate cottages provided ample space to enjoy ourselves both as a group and individually. We visited the Château de La Rochefoucauld, spent a day at the beach at Lac Lavaud, took walks around the house, and held a pétanque tournament. The children did at least 100 cannonballs a day in the pool, and our eldest even learned to dive. The covered terrace provided the necessary shade and cooling. We would like to emphasize how accessible and pleasant it is to communicate with you. It gives us the feeling that we are staying with friends.
Filip is always reachable and responds quickly!
Sandrine uit Begrolles (FR) schreef in August 2025 op AirBnB :
A lovely family stay at Filipe's. The house is very cozy, with a garden and a swimming pool, which meant we spent our days outdoors. Everything is perfect; the house is perfectly furnished down to the smallest detail. Filipe is always reachable and responds quickly if there is anything. We all had a wonderful week.
