Unkompliziert und schön
Wir fühlten uns im kleinen Bergdorf sehr wohl und wurden herzlich aufgenommen. Von der Unterkunft aus machten wir viele Ausflüge ins Hinterland und ans Meer.

Vacances au vert
Accueillis par Marcel, le barman du village. Hyper sympa et de bon conseil pour les visites à prévoir. Propriétaire par messages, prevenante et réactive. Tout petit village perché dans les hauteurs. Dépaysant et calme, mais il ne faut pas oublier la plaque de beurre au supermarché !! Superette à 12km pour l'appoint. Maison Corse typique. Inaccessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite. On a adoré, Merci !
