“A superb weekend with friends”
An excellent weekend with friends: a very warm welcome from the owners and every amenity of the gîte at our disposal — heated indoor pool, sauna and pool table. The house is beautiful, spotless, with a fully equipped kitchen. Ideal for getting together with family or friends.

“A family reunion and relaxation in a dream villa”
An excellent week for ten of us, spanning three generations, in a large, very well-equipped house with tasteful contemporary decor. The library, pool table, bar and large plancha grill were a hit, and the covered pool is a pleasure at any hour, out of the sun. The upstairs bedrooms are air-conditioned and the linen is high quality; our only quibble, during a heatwave, was the lack of air conditioning on the ground floor. A very happy memory, and a villa we recommend.

“Relaxing, peaceful, high-quality property”
A quiet rural setting, yet only a short drive from a small supermarket, bakery, butcher and café. The indoor pool was ideal and everything in the house is of a high standard. The host lives nearby and knows the area well.

A great family stay with Christelle and Laurent, who live nearby and are very responsive. The house is exactly as described and pictured, spotlessly clean and well maintained. A small circuit-breaker issue with the pool dehumidifier was sorted out right away by the owners. Book with total confidence.

“A real hit with everyone”
A spacious, modern house, very well equipped, with quality materials and furnishings. The pool and sauna are a real bonus, and we spent hours playing pool and table tennis. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from the forest, it's wonderfully peaceful, and the soundproofing is remarkable. Very kind owners.

“A second stay, even better”
After a delightful first stay in August 2024, we came back at the end of August: even better this time. Charming hosts who do everything to make the stay a success, and a listing that's a perfectly accurate description of reality. We'll be back.

“One of the best we have ever stayed in”
The perfect base for our three families with young children: beautifully finished, spotless, spacious and well equipped, with a large garden and a safely enclosed pool. We loved the quiet countryside setting, with easy access to towns and to Loire châteaux that are calmer than the famous ones yet just as impressive. Laurent gave us a warm and friendly welcome. One of the best villas we have ever stayed in.

“A fantastic family weekend”
A superb, peaceful gîte with very comfortable bedding. The pool area, right next to the house, makes it easy to keep an eye on the children. A bar and a pool table delight guests of all ages. The châteaux of Azay-le-Rideau and Villandry are just a fifteen-minute drive away.
