“A quiet wooded holiday camp which works well for overnight stays”
Marine was an excellent host and the dinner and breakfast were both very good. The site is beautifully situated in the woods with views across the countryside and the restaurant/bar area was large and well laid-out.

After a long hike it was a pleasure to arrive at Chez Sam. Especially the warm welcome of Martine and her son made the day.

The site is beautiful and well-thought out, breakfast was very good. We were pleased to find air conditioning in our accomodation. A relaxing location for an over-night stop. (Family and dog). We would stay again.

“Very good value for money”
Location. Surroundings. It would definitely be nice to walk around, unfortunately we arrived in the dark and left early. Being on the way, everything needed for a quick stop was available.

“Clean small cabins”
Very clean small lodges and friendly and warm service. There is a lovely natural pool right in front of the cabins you have access to. We also bought some tasty local cheese! We were able to bring our dog with us too which is always a plus. Good spot for a relaxing break on the way.
