Rental Rates

  • Out-of-season pricing available
  • The price includes bed linen and bath towels. The gite is self catering although we do provide a little welcome basket with some food and a bottle of wine to help settle in and also enough of the basics (coffee, toilet roll etc.) to help get you get easily settled in. The gite does not include cleaning and should be left in a reasonably clean and tidy state upon departure. We charge a refundable security deposit just to cover the eventuality of damages which we promptly return after departure. The local council charge a tourist tax of 50 cents per person per night, which we typically add to the booking cost for your ease or can otherwise be collected upon arrival.
