Richard from Meedhuizen,
We hebben een erg leuke week gehad, het huis lig midden in het dorp aan een weg maar wat een stilte.
Het huis is erg leuk en Frans ingericht goed meubilair en je kan er echt tot rust komen, zeker met de muziek collectie die aanwezig is. Fietsen is ook erg mooi in de omgeving het was alleen warm maar in de avond was het erg lekker vertoeven in de grote tuin. Deze plek is zeker voor herhaling het is dichtbij en van alle gemakken voorzien.Comment from Anita van Amerongen
Beste Richard, dank je wel voor jullie positieve feedback.
Je had me bij onze kennismaking gevraagd om een geschikte plek voor het plaatsen van de fietsen, wat in de stallen kan, heel leuk om nu te lezen dat het fietsen in de omgeving zo geslaagd was.
En ook muziekliefhebbers dus, dat kwam dan mooi uit😊 Leuk!
Hartelijke groet, AnitaCorinne Parmentier from PARIS,
J'ai retrouvé avec un grand plaisir ce petit village où une partie de ma famille vit encore ! La maison qui appartenait à l'ancienne factrice (Marguerite) quand j'étais enfant est très agréable, joliment décorée et j'y retournerai dès que possible. Le jardin est également superbe, nous avons dégusté quelques prunes avec gourmandise.... Merci Anita !

Merci Corinne. J'espere jusqu'a la prochaine fois!
Mirjam Vis from Pijnacker,
Heerlijke rustige plek om even weg te zijn van alle dagelijkse hectiek! Het huisje is knus en comfortabel, en voorzien van alle gemakken; allerhande keukenaccessoires en mooie LPs en CDs, waar mijn man en zoon (4) van genoten hebben. Brandeville ligt centraal in een mooie omgeving, waarbij we een goede afwisseling hadden tussen door kleine stadjes struinen, forten bezoeken, historie opsnuiven en lekker ontspannen aan Lac Vert plage en spannende activiteiten zoals het klimbos.
Comment from Anita van Amerongen
Beste Mirjam, fijn te horen dat jullie het huis zo hebben kunnen waarderen, en ook muziekliefhebbers zijn! Dat jullie zoontje ook zo aan zijn trekken is gekomen bij zowel het meer als in het klimbos doet me deugd. Dank voor de mooie samenvatting van jullie verblijf😄
