We had an excellent stay at this charming and sophisticated property. As other reviewers have noted, the location is fabulous for exploring the area of the Loire near Amboise. The house is a beautifully renovated historic outbuilding on a large estate; the property was very well equipped with thoughtful attention given to every detail. But most importantly, the owners are exceptional hosts, and they went "over and above" to ensure that we had a satisfying and comfortable stay. We highly recommend this lovely home in a stunning location.

Very high quality of fixtures and fittings in a splendid barn conversion - absolutely delightful! The location is splendid, surrounded by vineyards which you can walk around, and a delightful garden. Very handy for exploration of the Loire Valley, its towns and chateaux, and of course wineries. The hosts, Francine and Claude, could not be more friendly and welcoming. Usually living in the main house next door, they were away for much of the time that we stayed, but support is available if needed - we didn’t. There are a few internal steps to the ground-floor bedroom, so may not suit from an accessibility point of view if that were an issue. Otherwise - perfect. And the wine from surrounding vines is superb!

a fantastic property, which lived up to the advert! beautiful house in an amazing location, the standard of the fit out and facilities are first class. the hosts are very helpful. we had a fantastic break.Clos de Venise is ideally located for the Chateaus and vinyards. My daughter and her husband loved the Aquarium and the zoo.

We visited Le Clos de Venise 4 years ago and decided to come this year back to celebrate our wedding anniversary as we love the place and its gracious and kind hostesses Francine and Claude. It felt like coming home again. We can warmly recommend the accommodation to anyone. Despite the ongoing struggle with Covid and its variants, we knew we would feel safe here as it is away from the main village road and therefore away from people but not too far so you still feel like part of the community: with the funny church bells ringing unusual amount times (not in the night time) and in the mornings if you listen carefully you can hear a rooster crow in the distance. What we also liked when visiting the Epicerie (walking distance) the Boulangerie or the Boucherie (both in Vernou) is that only one person or a couple is allowed in with a mask on and the rest of the people wait outside with masks and social distancing and everyone wears a mask in supermarkets. All this makes you feel safer during your vacation. We loved our stay and this time had also wonderfully clear skies and sunshine everyday with temperatures soaring to above+30. We will surely come back again one day.
