Reviews
Naomi Leusink from Gouda,
Wat een fijn huis. Zo stil.We vonden ons er ontspannen, veilig en vrij. De zwemvijver was heerlijk en de spelletjes tafeltennis top!. Omgeving prachtig, stil en groen.
We komen graag nog eens terug!Marco en Annette from Heinkenszand,
Wat een heerlijke plek is dit. We hebben enorm genoten van het huis, de mooie tuin en natuurlijk de fijne zwemvijver.
Hans en Annelie from Veenendaal,
Wat hebben we genoten van deze unieke, prachtige plek! Wij waanden ons hier als 'God in Frankrijk' waarbij voor ons de heerlijke verkoeling biedende zwemvijver een klein geschenk uit de hemel was.
We verbleven in Fourcaries 1 waarvan we de authentieke stijl van deze woning als heel prettig hebben ervaren. De woonkeuken is zeer volledig uitgerust, de slaapkamers zijn royaal en binnen blijft het op warme dagen aangenaam koel.
In de fraaie omgeving is meer dan genoeg te doen en te ervaren; we komen graag nog eens retour!
