Facilities and Equipment at Limorlin Gîte
We have just one gîte at Limorlin, and we have no near neighbours, so there are no children to disturb the tranquility.
“The gite is fantastic, every amenity you need. Location is perfect, very accessible to all areas. Views are very picturesque” – Brendan & Catherine, May 2008
Description
The gîte has been carefully and tastefully refurbished and provides modern comforts while retaining its original charm and features. It is double-insulated so it stays cool in summer and is very easy to keep warm out of season.
It has one bedroom and sleeps 2 in double or twin beds, with an en-suite italian-style shower-room with toilet.
Bed-linen, bathroom towels and kitchen linen are supplied and changed weekly. However, pool/beach towels are not provided.
A comprehensive welcome-pack is included (see details below).
You also have the option of a gourmet meal (which can be vegetarian), normally served at 8:30 p.m. on the day of your arrival.
