Check in was very straight forward, with great communication (in English) from the owners. Well equipped kitchen; inflatables for the pool area were left, which our kids loved; hot tub is well-maintained and luxurious. We were able to bring our small dog (Springer-poo) and he had a great time too. For those not bringing pets, do not worry, the house was very clean throughout, we found - the cleaner is local and is evidently very thorough. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows available, if needed. The home cinema / projector system was a fun touch and filled the only wet evening we had during our week there. There is a small supermarket and collection of small shops in Doussard itself, about a 10 minute walk from the villa. The villa has ample parking and felt very secure. The villa has toys for small children and a trampoline in the garden. Great views from the garden too. Be sure to check out Sambuy Luge in the summer - great for the kids. The panoramic views of the Lake from the east side are particularly stunning. If you are looking for a well equipped, child and dog-friendly villa in a quiet spot, close to breath-taking scenery, my family and I would highly recommend this villa!
