Des amis m'ont offert une nuit aux Cabanes de Fontfroide que j'ai partagé avec ma femme et nous avons adoré ! L'accueil est adorable, l'environnement soigné et la cabane est magique. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la terrasse au-dessus pour profiter de la canopée, notamment au petit déjeuner, délicieux lui aussi. Bref, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Nous avons passé une magnifique nuit automnale en couple dans une cabane très cosy. Du haut de notre superbe terrasse, il y a des toilettes sèches. Nous avons mangé un excellent dîner, livré dans un petit panier, à faire remonter grâce à un système de poulie. Puis le lendemain nous avons eu notre petit-déjeuner très complet. Le cadre est superbe, en pleine forêt, avec la ferme pédagogique et les chèvres. Nous nous sommes régalés. Une parenthèse hors du temps, non loin de Romans, qui fait du bien !

Nous avons séjourné dans la chambre d'hôtes "4 saisons" pour 2 nuits, avec un bon cadeau. Le site est très beau, toutes les cabanes sont espacées les unes des autres pour préserver le calme et l'intimité de chacun. La chambre était très propre, joliment décorée, et bien aménagée.
Nous avons pris le panier fraîcheur et le panier terroir, tous deux très bons et copieux, idem pour le panier du petit déjeuner (inclus). Ca nous a donné envie de revenir pour tester les cabanes! Les propriétaires ont fait du bon travail pour proposer un endroit propre, naturel, et propice à la déconnexion.
