the holiday home "l'Homme de l'Épine" in Cellefrouin (Charente, FR)
Beautiful house for a quiet family vacation!
Fabien uit Paris (FR) schreef in July 2020 op Livre d'or :
The house is excellently equipped for relaxation: games, a good sound system, a good internet connection, and a solar-heated pool. Although it is located in a hamlet, there is no problem with people looking in. The host and hostess are excellent, respond quickly, and ensure that their guests have a pleasant stay. I recommend this holiday home if you are looking for a vacation far away from city life, right in the countryside, amidst sunflower fields.

We recommend it without hesitation!

The whole family felt welcome! Filip and Ann are charming, responsive, and flexible. We recommend it without hesitation!
