5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2016
Were travelled extensively throughout Europe and rented many apartments and homes. Maites Governors apartment is one of the best weve enjoyed. Its location is perfectly central within the pedestrian village and to a number of sights in the area. The second floor apartment is easily accessible by a stone, circular staircase that is in excellent repair, as is the spotlessly clean apartment. We would never have guessed it was built in the 1600s. Its exactly as described, photographically depicted and completely updated, large and very comfortable. We loved the apartments orientation. In the morning, the kitchen, dining and TV room receive the sun and the afternoon brightens both bedrooms. This orientation also allows for superb cross ventilation which provided the apartment to remain comfortably cool. However, should the temperatures dip to the point where heat is required, the apartment has heat in every room, to include both bathrooms. Having both a bath tub and separate shower meets the likes of everyone. The very large kitchen, complete with large refrigerator and dishwasher, oven, microwave, four-burner hob was fully equipped to have a dinner party for 8. The beds were comfortable, the linens of high quality and the shower water pressure was great. We spent 7-nights here and could easily have remained much longer. It was that perfect in comfort and location. The added benefit are the owner, Maite and her wonderful husband Jean-Alain. They are so welcoming, gracious and helpful. Theyll do everything they can to insure your comfort and enjoyment of not only the apartment, but the village and its surrounds. Maite and her Governors Apartment are the standard for other owners and rental agencies to emulate.
