Gîte Mélodie
Gîte « Mélodie »
Full description : www.lamelodiedesoiseaux.be
Mélodie is a modern, bright gîte, set in a garden with trees and flowers, accessible to all.
It is new and has been designed by Christian and Beatrice for the comfort of the mind, the eyes and the body.
It is a pleasure to read in the living room in a bright interior or to rest on the large terrace while listening to the birds singing from morning to night.
The gîte can accommodate 2 to 4 people.
It is ideal for a couple, for a couple with 1 or 2 children, or even for 2 couples.
You can also find a photo report made with Adeline, a wheelchair user, who uses the different functions of the gite (see below, right).
New from 01/09/2017: Nordic jet and bubble bath with jib. (This area has not been reviewed by Access-i)
