Reviews
ANNE THOMAS ALIMI from Chantilly,
As a family of 6 with grown up children we had a lovely stay at Serein le Vau. The house is large and really well equipped. It's in a very peaceful location in the heart of the countryside. The pool is large with lots of loungers and umbrellas. The open barn is great for playing table tennis or just enjoying the shade. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating and I would definitely consider rebooking next year ;)
