Nous avons fait 3 séjours pour visiter cette magnifique région. C'est vraiment très bien, nous sommes reçu par José et son épouse comme des membres de leurs familles. Madame ce lève très tôt pour faire des bons gâteaux pour le petit déjeuner. Je le recommande vraiment et nous avons hâte d'y retourner pour continuer nos visites. Patrick et Brigitte

Un magnifique bouquet frais et parfumé ces Camélias ! Pour Odette et José, l'accueil n'est pas un vain mot ! Ils se coupent en 4 pour rendre le séjour de leurs invités agréable et sans soucis ! Ils sont d'une grande gentillesse et sans chichi. Les petits-déjeuners sont excellents et copieux. Cake, brioche, confitures diverses, yaourt… sont faits « maison » et sont dégustés dans ancien séchoir à tabac transformé en une splendide salle. Les chambres sont impeccables, claires, bien équipées et décorées avec goût. Le bâtiment se situe dans un grand parc ceinturé par un mur de pierre, assurant la sécurité des petits qui peuvent profiter des balançoire, trampoline, piscine,… voilà, c'est notre troisième séjour chez Odette et José ! Je suppose que vous aurez compris pourquoi !
