Absolutely Breathtaking
Communication between Yves & Marie-Anne was brilliant, we had informed them that we would be arriving late which was no problem. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until after 11.30pm, Yves, Marie-Anne & an English speaking friend of theirs(sorry I have forgot his name) showed us around the property explaining how everything worked. The property is beautiful, tastefully decorated with everything that you need for a perfect holiday. We were a party of 7, the property had plenty of space to accommodate us, there are hammocks near the lake, 2 outdoor seating areas & sunbeds next to the pool. The view over the lake is stunning, whilst we were there, their was a magnificent firework display which we watched from the jetty. We had use of canoes which was great fun. The pool is lovely & very cooling with a jaccuzi at one end. Yves & Marie-Anne are perfect hosts, We will definitely be returning & recommending to our friends. Thank you so much

Erholung pur
Das Haus von JLD war für unsere Familienreise mit 3 Paaren perfekt. Alles, vom ersten Mail bis zum heutigen Abschied verlief reibungslos und unkompliziert. Das Haus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand, sehr sauber und liegt in einem prächtigen Garten. Für Sportbegeisterte gibt es einen Fitnessraum und auch Kajaks, ein SUP sowie 2 Fahrräder. Das WLAN st auch fürs Homeoffice geeignet. Istres selber ist nicht die Touristengegend schlechthin, aber für Ausflüge ins Landesinnere oder zum Golfen ist der Ort perfekt. Die beiden empfohlenen Restaurants waren auch erstklassig. Der Kühlschrank mit Crushed Eis war angesichts der grossen Hitze das Tüpfelchen auf dem i. Vielen Dank für die tollen Ferien, wir können dieses Haus und die Gastgeber uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Excellent sejour
Nos hotes comme la maison etait extremement acceuillante. Le contexte sanitaire actuel nous a fait cherché une maison dans laquelle nous pourrions passer du temps de qualité et cela c'est tres bien appliqué. La maison a tout le confort, en terme d'equipement et d'espace. Pour les environs, les hotes nous ont donné de bons conseils, notemment en terme de restauration, ce qui nous a permi de vivre de jolies experiences culinaires. Bref, des vacances familiales à renouveller ! MErci encore.

Wunderbarer Urlaub direkt am See
Die Beschreibung dem Ferienhaus nicht gerecht - es ist noch viel besser. Wir haben unsere Zeit dort sehr genossen. Unsere 2 Kinder konnten auf dem riesigen Grundstück ungestört herumtollen. Die technische Einrichtung, ob Küche, Jalousien, Wifi, etc. - ist auf dem neuesten Stand. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und bemühen sich jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Istres als Ausgangspunkt für diverse Aktivitäten ist sehr geeignet. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.
