Sublime endroit

Après de vaines recherches sur Valence (hébergements complets), nous avons fini par trouver l’atelier du philosophe. Après une route de montagne pour accéder aux chambres d’hôte, nous avons été royalement accueillis. Martina et Christophe se sont démenés pour rendre notre séjour agréable malgré notre arrivée tardive. Nous avons partagé un bon repas avec eux malgré le fait que nous n’ayons pas prévenu de notre arrivée tardive. La bâtisse vieille de 500 ans a été rénovée avec beaucoup de charme et de goût. Endroit très calme et apaisant. A recommander vivement
