In winter: although the holiday homes are climate-controlled to ensure an ideal temperature in both winter and summer, they are fitted with electric radiators.

Summer: the holiday homes are not air-conditioned. However, you can request a fan from reception. A few trees, parasols and shade sails provide shade for your private terrace, not to mention the Saulières forest which borders the holiday complex and provides a very pleasant coolness in summer.
