nice studio and nice terrace. very calm.

the mattress was really bad and felt very used. the fact that there was one mattress on top of another one didn't do any good. wonder how you can have guests sleep like this. very disappointing. missing cuttiing knife, cutting board and pan in the kitchen.

Location-wise Les gites du Belvedere are very good - not too far from town (we took the car all the time but one could potentially walk there) and in a quiet location. Christian is a lovely host, easy to communicate with (French and English) and it was very easy to do the check in and to find the place. It is a wonderful and quirky self-built house with nice views. However there are a few issues. First of all it is an extremely steep path up to the Gite so better leave the car down at the parking place along the road and carry up your luggage. Then you have to climb a lot of steep, wooden stairs to reach the rooms. And then came the biggest surprise: we had rented Gite du Saul and maybe we had not read the description well enough but we were surprised that this is Christian's actual home with food in the fridge, toiletry in the bathroom and clothes in the wardrobe (so no room for our stuff) and even a cat on the sofa (which was not happy that we evicted her). This took us unprepared and was a bit off-putting in the beginning. Also the place is not very safe for a two year old - the loft where one sleeps is not secured, the stairs are steep and there is a lot of stuff that a kid potentially could destroy. So overall it was a good place to stay but be prepared for the steep stairs, the presence of furry room mates and the possibility of staying in the private home of somebody!
