Holiday home with Bubble Bath in Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle

Zeer mooie en grote chalet. Alles netjes en een mooie omgeving.

We (family with 4 kids from 0 to 8) enjoyed a 2-week holiday here in the summer of 2020. The holiday home is in a fantastic location, a pleasure for peace seekers, hikers and nature lovers. From Saulxures it is a ten minute winding on narrow mountain roads before arriving at the cottage. The view is superb! Within a 30-45 minute drive you can reach almost all the highlights of the Vosges. Such as the Hoheneck, large waterfalls, beautiful lakes. But directly from the cottage there are also plenty of beautiful walks to walk, also to wide views. 10 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket.Wel some getting used to if you do not have 4G and internet., NL television is also missing. Even normal mobile phone coverage is not very good. After a few days of getting used to it, we could really enjoy it. The house itself is fine and clean. A bit dated here and there. In the kitchen some things are missing and the dishwasher is very small for 6 people. Awkward that you have to walk through each other's bedroom (also for the toilet). The stairs creak so badly that you can wake up the whole family. The managers are very friendly and helpful. They come immediately with questions! We don't speak French, but you can go a long way with hands and feet. High chair and cot were arranged for us (because in principle not available). The DVD player was broken, but within 3 days a new one was arranged. The holiday home is not especially suitable for children, but there is a lot of space around the house, a large piece of flat lawn for example to play football. The children have never been bored. The lake at Saulxures is recommended (swimming). Costs a few euros pp.

On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Sandrine. She speaks some English and has made a short tour with us through the very neat and spacious house and explained everything. Her uncle the owner of the house lives next door. We could achieve this if there were problems. Thank you for the fresh eggs, apple juice from your own garden, jam and chocolate! The surroundings are beautiful, especially the area around the Doubs valley, just over the border in Switzerland. The caves of Reclerc are definitely worth a visit as well as the citadel of Belfort. We enjoyed the most canoeing on the Doubs (though pricey but worth it) and the wonderfully heated swimming pool, which we used every day because of the hot days. For restaurants and gastronomy you have to go a little further away, there are also few shopping streets in the vicinity. There is a small grocery store where you can get fresh bread and croissants in the morning. In short, a must.
