Gite de luxe familiale de prestige, rénovée avec gout 5 Piscine-Sauna.Hammam

We were a group of 18 people (friends) and we enjoyed the place. The House is very big (lot of room), every room has its own bathroom. Big garden with table and BBQ. Including a Sousa, a pool, a snooker, table football ... Very quiet surrounding in the nature. Host super friendly and speaking English.

Our group of 16 family members, ranging in age from 4 to grandparent age, was easily accommodated in Marie and Phil's gîtes. We appreciated the fact that each room had its own ensuite (with hand soap and hairdryer). The kitchen of the main gîte was just big enough for us all to eat at the same table when it rained. When the sun came out, we were able to eat just outside the main kitchen. Rooms were comfortable enough and the kids found plenty of entertainment with the games room (pool table, giant jenga and especially baby football, plus ping pong rackets for the table outside), garden swings and football. The kids also enjoyed the indoor swimming pool (pool towels were provided), which is thankfully heated as it was quite cool when we were there. We also used the small steam room and sauna. Marie and Phil, who live just on the other side of the courtyard, were very welcoming, accommodating and helpful with advice. Marie speaks French and English fluently. We were touched by the welcome goodies, such as a homemade cake, fresh eggs and crémant, that were awaiting us. There is a pond on the other side of the road (hence the name of the gîtes) and plenty of space in the garden behind which meant it was very tranquil and we didn't feel we were crowding the other neighbours. We had a delicious paella on the first night (arranged by Marie) and very much enjoyed the four meals which we asked Marie to cater. She was willing to accommodate the two vegetarians in the group. The location is a 15-minute drive (including some windy roads and some faster ones) to the nearest main town - Gérardmer. We visited Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, WWI trenches (La Ligne), a sweetmakers, booked pony riding for the smaller kids and outside adventure activities for the bigger kids, so there was plenty to do in the area even in cool, rainy weather. All in all, the property met our needs and allowed us to have a relaxing and fun family getaway.

Perfect accommodation!

Phil and Marie have created a luxury retreat in this Vosges farmhouse. It was absolutely perfect for our large group of 6 adults and 11 children—affording us just enough space to allow for privacy but encouraging lots of fun activities together. Pool, game room, soccer in the fields, raclette dinners, walks down the country roads, day trips to Gérardmer and Alsace. We all highly recommend this house to everyone! Phil and Marié are really lovely (and arranged for our daily bread/croissant deliveries from the local baker!). Couldn’t really have been better!

A group of 12 or so friends have been taking cycling holidays in France for the past few years, and this is the very best self catering accommodation at which we have stayed. The old buildings have been converted and restored to a very high standard, and were ideal for our needs. Although being three separate (but connected) gites, we could all gather in the well equipped kitchen and lounge of the largest gite, and enjoy barbecues outside with a lovely rural view. The owners live on site, were extremely helpful and friendly, and also provided high quality food when we did not fancy cooking for ourselves. Highly recommended for groups such as ours, cycling or walking, or for large families.

Our first impressions were wow. Tastefully decorated with everything you need. The spa room with pool, sauna and steam room is amazing. Set in an ideal location to chill and relax - we miss seeing the wildlife and watching the sunsets. Would recommend to anyone - definitely the best Gite we have hired yet.

We had a perfect stay at the gites!! The rooms are beatiful, the children loved playing in the big garden and swimming in the pool and most of all the meals weer deliciuos!! The best stay for the best holiday!
