"The property is situated in a beautiful valley and the host provided guidance for things to see and do around. The gite is specious downstairs and the kids (and dog!) absolutely loved playing with the donkeys and the turtles. We were offered to purchase a home-cooked meal which was generous and tasty. The hosts were very friendly and patient with the kids and dog and allowed them to feed the animals. Our kids and dog really enjoyed their stay here! However the property wasn't quite what we expected. Firstly there is a road in between the gite and the pool/garden, whilst it is a quiet road, it was a bit nerve racking with the kids and the dog as the garden isn't enclosed and some cars pass by (even though slowly). The pool is an adequate size but it is freezing and the edge to it is really narrow, so it felt that it was likely that the kids could step out and fall backwards onto the ground. We brought our own bedding as they were charged at 13euros each for disposable bedding, and whilst we were told towels were provided free of charge and changed after a week (which didn't happen) we still had to request them on arrival. On departure, we were asked for 50 euros as a cleaning fee which came to us as a surprise, but Vbro confirmed we didn't have to pay this fee as it was never specified beforehand by the host. Also, mosquitos were ravenous (nobody's fault) but I recommend to bring lots of insect repellent and in hot weather the rooms upstairs are very hot."
