"Dans l'ensemble expérience positive. Propreté parfaite dans le village, un peu de réserve pour la salle de bain vu le rideau de douche qui colle au dos. Confort de lit moyen car le sommier est juste une planche de bois rigide (chambre 411). Repas correct et pas trop gras, all in raisonnable. Le grand point fort est la vue pendant le repas, splendide."
