Un week-end en famille (26 personnes) magnifique ! Le gîte est spacieux, luxueux et totalement équipé pour un séjour incroyable ! Il n'y manque rien ! Même les tout petits ont été comblés avec les jeux intérieurs et extérieurs pensés pour eux !

Geoffrey Abras

Superbe endroit pour un weekend en famille ou entre amis avec des enfants.
L'espace commun est spacieux et lumineux. Chaque chambre double est équipé d'une salle de bain privative et les mansardes sont dédiés aux enfants.. Trés bon compromis entre gestion des enfants et moments de tranquilité parentale.
Sauna à coté des chambres.. la classe.
Sans oublié la salle des fêtes dans un coin du jardin avec kicker, darts, pétanque, beach volley et coin bbq.. parfait pour une soirée animée.
Au niveau activité... Rando, vélo...la nature est omniprésente mais faut être sportif.. ça grimpe.. Véritable paradis pour les trailers.

Our stay at Cottage Olborbotte, also known as Le Clos Nestor, was nothing short of a disaster from the moment we arrived. As we pulled up, we were greeted by the owner, who appeared disheveled and uninterested. He barely acknowledged us, and when he noticed our Dutch license plates, he made an openly racist remark: "I didn't think the Dutch would lower themselves to stay here." This set a deeply uncomfortable tone for the rest of our stay.

Upon entering the villa, we were immediately hit with the sight—and smell—of filth everywhere. It looked like the aftermath of a wild party, with trash, dirty dishes, and leftover food scattered across the living spaces. I suspect it was from the previous guests, and when we pointed this out to the owner, his response was simply, "Well, clean it up yourselves if it bothers you." That was the first of many rude and dismissive interactions we had with him.

The so-called “luxury amenities” were an absolute joke. The sauna and pool, which we had specifically chosen the property for, were restricted to very limited hours. They close at 10 p.m. and open at 10 a.m., which means you can't even enjoy a late-night swim or early morning sauna session. Worse yet, the owner and his wife would physically enter the villa every day, unannounced, to lock and unlock the sauna. We felt like we had no privacy, as they would casually walk around the property at any time—sometimes even while we were having breakfast! When we asked them to respect our space, they just shrugged and said, "We have to manage the facilities, that's how it works."

However, none of that compared to the horror of the sewage problem. There was a constant and overpowering stench of sewage throughout the entire house. The smell was so unbearable that our children couldn’t sleep in their rooms. When we complained to the owner, his response was both condescending and dismissive: "You Dutch people always find something to complain about." It was infuriating. Instead of addressing the issue, they acted like we were overreacting.

But the nightmare didn’t end there. The villa was infested with ants—and cockroaches. We found ants crawling through the kitchen cupboards, in the drawers, and even in our beds. When we brought this up to the owners, they claimed it was "normal for the countryside," as if a full-scale insect invasion was an expected part of a luxury holiday! Our concerns were heightened because we had young children with us, aged 2 to 5, and the thought of them encountering cockroaches or getting bitten by ants was horrifying.

And let's not forget the bathrooms. The toilets had clearly not been cleaned in what seemed like weeks. There were stains on the bowls, and the stench was unbearable. The showers were caked with grime and hair, likely from the previous guests, and the floors were sticky. Frankly, it looked like the place hadn’t been properly cleaned in years. When we confronted the owner about this, he simply said, "It's an big villa, what do you expect?"

We were appalled at the lack of hygiene, professionalism, and basic hospitality at this property. It’s shocking that they dare to advertise it as a luxury villa when, in reality, it was nothing more than a dilapidated, unclean, and poorly managed shack. Our vacation was utterly ruined, and I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. Stay far, far away from Cottage Olborbotte—it's the worst place we’ve ever stayed.
