Reviews

  • What a magnificent place! We would particularly like to thank Olivia who greatly contributed to the success of our marriage: we may have already told you this a certain number of times, but we repeat it to you: a big "thank you" for your help, your availability and especially for this magnificent result despite the capricious weather!
    We have had nothing but positive feedback from guests regarding the flowers, lighting, barn and setting.

  • Olivia and her husband are charming and leave places fully available, they make themselves available on the site while being discreet. Olivia takes care of the organization with the service providers if necessary, is reassuring and available. The area allows you to enjoy several atmospheres, and in the heat we found ourselves in the cool under the trees and in the dimiere. The view from the terrace is magnificent.

    The lodgings were impeccable and the renovation leaves the soul of the place.
    Only one downside, the chairs and the floor were not perfectly clean but this was due to a problem with the service providers. I highly recommend and I keep stars in my head
    Thank you for everything
