Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Perfect location in the center and very near (30seconds) from the bus stops and the main station too. The staff was very lovely. The room and bathrooms were very clean, convenient lockers under the bed (and free, same for towel they give it to you which is not always the case in hostels so it is a plus for me). They can also keep your luggage for free after check out and they are very helpful for everything you need to ask for or for recommandations. Nice breakfast included in the room price, very much appreciated. Nice homemade yogurts !
