Beautiful place to stay with everything you can think of provided for you, 5* hosting. Exceptionally clean, spacious facilities both inside and out by the poolside. The grounds are stunning and the area is historic, with lots of hidden gems to explore like the quaint towns and gorgeous lakes with their beaches.

We hadden een geweldig verblijf in La petite ecurie! Mooie site met mooi landschap. Ook erg rustig. We komen graag nog een keer.
Esther Zijp

What a superb place to relax and enjoy the French countryside! A perfectly situated location. Extremely well appointed rooms and coordinated furnishings, very comfortable and inviting, a real chill-out experience. The proprietors are exceedingly friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I will be returning here when I can and recommending this experience with all my fiends and people interested in a lovely break in the French countryside.

Wat een heerlijke plekje is dit, onder weg naar Spanje in Januari kwamen we langs de Gite La Madona. Een prachtige ruime mooi ingerichte gite, met een heerlijk bed, een hout kachel voor koude avonden. In de zomer een mooi privé zwembad met zonnebedden, een buiten keuken met bbq en pizza oven. H .ier gaan wij zeker nog een keer terug komen. De omgeving is ook prachtig en de eigenaars Mark en Heather zijn zeer vriendelijk.

Wow! What a beautiful, perfectly thought out gite, in such a gorgeous setting! Whether it is enjoying the use of the private in ground swimming pool, or Al Fresco dining in the very well equipped outdoor kitchen enjoying open views of the French Countryside! Wonderful! Mark & Heather, the owners, are discreet, but are there if you need them for local knowledge or advice and suggestions. We will definitely return, a tucked away little gem!
