Information
‘Les Citronniers’ is a self-contained edge-of-village holiday home with an inner courtyard, plunge pool, and 2 walled ‘gardens’. It is river frontage and although it is also on the edge of the village, noises carry across the old rooftops and we ask as a rule not to have loud parties in respect of the other villagers.
All bedding, linen and towels are supplied, with extras for use around the pool area. There are spares of everything in the large linen cupboard on the second floor, and one of us is always on hand if there is anything missing or you have any questions, or medical emergencies.
Special note regarding resources:
We also ask that in light of recent climate change effects, the heat is intensifying, the rainfall declining and water is costly and precious. The cost of energy is also on the rise. Please help us keep our pledge to respect the limits of our natural and man-made resources and to value them by turning off lights and fans when you are not using them. It will also help keep our running costs down and enable us to keep sharing this special place. Thank you.
Special note regarding children and pets:
We welcome responsible families as ‘Les Citronniers’ can not have children (or pets) who are unruly, even though the place is walled in, the riverbed is a long drop down, and any pool is a risk to children who do not know how to swim. We also have window heights with the legally required safety bars, but these will not prevent a child from climbing over and potentially getting hurt. This is a typical old French stone house with internal stone stairs, so running about and falling over is likely to cause upset.
We do not advertise that pets are allowed but will consider dogs that are well behaved and do not soil the gardens, dig up plants or bark unnecessarily.
We thank you for your consideration.
