A very quiet and private villa; a large, beautifully converted barn on a huge amount of land! Our 3 dogs loved running round within the fenced grounds, although we needed to keep an eye that they didn’t go into the ponds within the villa’s fence, none of which are fenced. The heated pool was fenced and was actually heated to a very pleasant temperature - it was delightful to swim in and for our girls (9 and 12) to play in. We all loved playing ping pong and tennis on the court. The villa is very spacious and great for a family (7 of us, inc my mother, brother and his wife and dogs) who might need to find a quiet spot on occasion. Bedrooms are all similar sizes and all have either an ensuite or a bathroom opposite - couldn’t fault them. We did not venture for a walk beyond the villa’s fence, largely due to the horse flies which are abundant beyond the gates. Our high level insect repellent was needed. However, there was plenty of outside space without going into the forest. We saw deer and boar from the villa, plus woodpeckers and heron. Villandry is a quick drive away and our favourite Chateau due to its beautiful garden. We went to the Night of a 1000 lights on our first night and were dazzled with a stunning light and firework display - worth a trip. The supermarket is only a 10 min drive away and easy to find. We would definitely return, but would be sure to remember our insect repellent for forest and round the ponds! Communication with the hosts was excellent. Thank you!

Beautiful house in an incredibly quiet, peaceful place surrounded by forest and nature. We had an amazing stay with friends, and our kids (9 to 12) loved the tennis, pool and table tennis. The house itself is really well equipped, qnd serves as an excellent gateway to a gorgeous part of France - we went canoeing on the Loire, winetasting (several times) and visited Tours, Villandry and some other smaller local gems. All in all - highly recommended.

Great place for a relaxing holiday. We visited with 3 children (ages 6,4 and 1). Lots for them to do with the tennis court, pool, exploring the grounds and spotting all the animals in the forest. Laure met us at the property and was really friendly and helpful. The house is amazing, clean and well equipped. Beds are comfy. There’s lots to do nearby in the surrounding area. So many Châteaus and lovely villages. Great flat cycling along the Loire. We’ll definitely be back.

Gîte propre et très bon accueil
