What the estate rental includes
Renting Domaine du Dahu means having a genuine little hamlet by the water. The rental includes 5 floating chalets resting on the lake, the charming 170 m² gîte and an outdoor chalet with kitchenette: enough to sleep up to 18 people in double beds (11 in single beds), each with their own space.
For the highlights, the 75 m² room, bright and fully equipped, hosts the meal, the drinks reception or the games. Right next to it, the covered terrace facing the lake lets everyone gather under cover — ideal for the aperitif and group meals.
