We started our adventure as holiday rental owners with our cottage in the Vendée. We have rented this cottage as a Gite for 14 years and have had the best family holiday memories there. We loved having guests stay in the cottage and enjoy the area whilst creating memories. We sold it in December 2019. We now share the same enthusiasm for renting out our apartments in the Alps and offering guests the opportunity to have the best family holiday in the mountains...we want to share our experience with you again. We own a 2 bed apartment in the same building so if you want to come with friends and family, just ask for the details.
