Charming residence, Burgundy, La Trémellerie, 15/20 people, heated swimming pool

This was a great property. We loved the pool and all the outdoor space. Some have complained about the nearby church bells but they are just a part of the French experience. We had a little trouble with the check-in process as the person did not speak English and my French isnt the best but eith Google translate we did just fine.

The property was perfect for our family holiday of 10 adults and 4 children over 3 generations. The pool was a firm favourite, and in beautiful surroundings. We were helped to organise a chef on several evenings, Aurelie was fantastic! The spa area was very relaxing and immaculate, too. It was very hot while we were there so fans were provided on request. The nearby church clock chimed throughout day and night which took some adjusting to, too! Overall it was a perfect family holiday and we’d love to come again - thank you.

A wonderful house in a wonderful area and location.

We spent an unforgettable family vacation at the property. Everything about the residence, the grounds, the interior, and the village itself, with its quaint pond and understated Gothic church, exudes a timeless air of history combined with breeding and elegance, but also of supreme leisure and ease. From the imposing cedar against the stone walls and the lush but not manicured lawns to the superbly appointed kitchen, the rich plot of herbs, the tasteful furnishings, the comfortable rooms and communal spaces, the stately fireplace, and the lingering heritage of a fine painter who spent forty years of his life here, everything here conspired to make this a perfect getaway location for a family of 18 at Easter. As a plus, Saint Privé is thankfully off the beaten track, but only a half-hour drive from Sancerre by the Loire, and it even warrants a day trip to the core vineyards of Burgundy – if you are lucky enough to find someone to undertake the driving back home! P.S.: Carole, the housekeeper was also very kind and helpful.

The house was really clean, it looked just renovated so the first impression was really lovely. We had a pleasant stay in the beautiful home perfect for a big group of friends! And we loved the heated pool that was a pleasant surprise!

Beautiful chateau in lovely charming village. A huge house with everything in it you need. With a group of 18, 4 families, everyone has its own space and could hang out where they desired, inside or in one of the gardens. Good beds, also the sofa bed sleeps very well. Showers, bathrooms all good. Friendly owner, easy to reach out to and gives you the feeling you are welcome. Also the lady who welcomes you is nice, explains all you need to know and calls the bakery after closing time to order bread for the first day. Enough to see and do in the area. But even a lazy day at the pool is good Yes some heard the church bell banging and some did not. Thank you for our holiday. PS with our sincere apologies, our daughter took with her a TinTin book in her bag. We will send it back.

What a fabulous week we had at this lovely property. There were 16 of us and there was plenty of room. There are two double bedrooms downstairs and three upstairs. Plus another double upstairs with a full size single in it and a fabulous 'bunk' room upstairs with two singles, a double and a bunk bed. Our kids loved being all in there together. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. There are numerous pans of all sizes, including huge ones for cooking en masse. Loads of cutlery, plates etc. There are two bbqs outside in addition. The living areas are really spacious too. All in all it was a perfect house for us. The swimming pool is lovely and well fenced, so you don't need to worry about the kids being there without an adult. The boys found a football field a little up the road and there is a lake in the village to walk around. In the village there is also one bakery (we ordered tonnes of croissants and bread for every morning), one small grocery shop, one small bar and an award winning lollypop shop (which is run out of someone's front room). What more do you need! There is a supermarket about 5-10 mins drive away and plenty of towns nearby with markets to discover. We did a vineyard trip, a trip to swim in a local reservoir and trips to local villages. But most of the time we stayed at the house and enjoyed the pool. Be warned, the church directly next to the house chimes loudly every hour. But after the first night, we all got used to it and it wasn't a problem for anyone in our group (which aged from 4-80). The only pain is the large deposit, which you have to pay months in advance - a lot of money to hand over for such a long time. It would be much better to be able to pay this just before visiting. I tried to come to an arrangement with the owner and HomeAway about this but the communication was difficult and in the end I just paid up. Overall, highly recommended and we would definitely return. It would be lovely out of season too. There is a huge fire place in the sitting room.

We loved the house! It was charming, super nicely renovated and there was plenty of rooms for us (10 people). The house was also super clean and very well equipped, which is always nice. Kids loved the pool, we all loved the garden and the barbecue. It was super nice to sit outside until late in the evening. The church and the bells brought a nice add to the atmosphere. One minus thing about the house for the teenagers in our family, was the location and the fact that the village is very quiet, but we had a car, so we took them to see some action every now and then :)
