We stayed in one of the smaller gites on site at Maison Shalemi, and we can honestly describe our gite as a luxury property. Mike and Shirley were very friendly and approachable and they have done a great job in converting the old barns and farmhouse to luxury properties. No expense has been spared, our gite was decorated in a palette of calming creams and leather sofas.

Everything was pristine clean with fresh, high quality bedding. We even had fans in the bedrooms as we had hot weather during our stay.

The floors were either tiled or floorboard/laminated and we had a lovely patio to sit out and have drinks or just read to catch the sun.

We loved our stay in this wonderful , calming place. Thank you so much!

We stayed with friend in Le Vieille Grange for a week in June. The whole complex has been beautifully refurbished and everything is provided for home from home comfort. We enjoyed our holiday so much we have booked to return in September. An excellent location for exploring the locality, especially by bicycle - the roads are so quiet.
