L'équipe de notre partenaire local se compose de deux profils complémentaires :

Elsa, native de la région, connaît son territoire sur le bout des doigts. Elle confectionne une cuisine généreuse à base de produits locaux et de préparations "fait maison".

Manu, doté d'un grand sens de l'humour, assure un accueil chaleureux. Très bricoleur, c'est lui qui a bâti le gîte et conçu une grande partie du mobilier.

Enfin, l'équipe de notre partenaire local parle anglais, permettant ainsi de recevoir au mieux une clientèle internationale.
