Luxury gite close to Le Loir, cycle network, chateaux and wine region

We spent a very enjoyable and relaxing week in this comfortable gite. It was well equipped with a large, lovely garden, which was perfect for us and our dog. The gite is ideally situated in a quiet hamlet, 15 minutes walk from the nearest small town, which has a good shop and a couple of friendly bars, restaurant and boulangerie. There are several interesting towns and smaller chateaux within 15 to 30 minutes drive. Overall an excellent base from which to explore the wider Loire region. Also a perfect location for those keen on cycling, running and fishing. Our host, Alex was very friendly and accommodating.

We enjoyed two very relaxing weeks in this lovely well-equipped gite. It's in a quiet unspoilt location, ideally situated for visiting the various nearby chateaux and small towns.

Rural location, no wifi, poor 4g and ok 3g coverage....exactly what we were looking for. Village is in poor repair, there is nothing in it...but this is exactly as described. Local towns, supermarkets etc within 15-20 minute drive.

Just returned from a great week spent in this stunning Gite.Was welcomed personally by Alex and Andy and a nice welcome gift was left including treats for our dog Every thing you can possibly want on holiday was there including a comfortable bed The outside area is private and enclosed perfect for relaxing and great for our dog although she did get spoilt with love from our hosts and kept sneaking to them The gite is in a quiet location but within a short drive there are many places to visit Including vineyards and chateaux Thankyou we will be recommending you to family and friends Sue,Steve and Sky

First time taking the car to France we were very lucky to have chosen this fantastic gite. Very pretty, comfortable and well equipped. South facing garden was an added bonus. A short walk from the village and an easy drive to major supermarkets. Great location for day trips including Tours and Le Mons. To top this all off we had the perfect host in Alex.

Myself and my partner had a lovely stay in this Gite, it was immaculately maintained and had a beautiful garden that we could use. It is very peaceful and the location is perfect for wine lovers with a number of vineyards locally. Hosts were very helpful and gave good advice about the local area and places to visit. We visited Chateau's that were just a short distance away. There really is so much to see in this beautiful area. We can't wait to return again.

We have enjoyed a wonderful week in the peaceful area of the Loir. La Petite Cachette was exactly as we imagined from the description of the property when we booked. The Gite is an old piggery which has been beautifully converted into an attractive holiday home. Inside the Gite the décor is clean and modern, it is well equipped and has everything you need, and more for a holiday. The large garden outside is perfect for relaxing during the day or enjoying a BBQ and glass of wine in the evening. The many and varied animal sounds remind you that you are in a rural setting. The house is situated in Les Halles which is a small hamlet a mile or so from the local town of Vaas where there are a few small shops and a pretty riverside to explore. It is also about twenty minutes from an enormous supermarket in Chateau du Loir. The location is perfect for exploring the many wonderful sights of the Loir and Loire areas. Our highlights were La Lude and La Fleche to the west, Vendome to the East and the lovely town of Saumur (great wine tasting area) in the South. Each of these towns were extremely pretty and full of character, and a plus for us was that they were not as busy/touristy as some larger towns on the Loire. The Gite is also well situated for Le Mans. Overall it was a great place for a holiday. Huge thanks to Alex and Andy who were great hosts, gave us lots of tips and information on the area and also tried very hard to befriend our grumpy dog, Daisy.

Our stay was just what we needed; a peaceful refuge from the stresses of everyday life. The gite was spotlessly clean, and contained every conceivable aid for cooking, relaxing, and navigating around the area. Best of all was sitting in the garden watching the wildlife, from mini murmurations of starlings and the flocks of chattering sparrows, to the antics of a vole gathering food and a surprise attack from a sparrow hawk. We loved the Chateau at Langeais, and the opportunities for wine tasting along the Loire We would like to return next year, and stay for longer!

Had a lovely time in this beautifully prepared Gite. Huge garden with sun all day and early evening perfect for eating and drinking on the patio. English Satellite TV, if you want it. Great coffee machine, good pressure in the shower and a very sleepy village location all make for a restful haven. Explored the area on road bikes for a week - hardly any traffic on the well maintained country lanes with beautiful countryside in all directions. Would recommend this place for a couple to have a bit of an escape for a week. Nearest shop about 1KM away sells bread, milk, veg, etc - supermarkets about 20 minutes away by car. We got minimal phone coverage whilst in the garden (nothing inside).

The property is easy to find, immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped. The only downside was that there was NO WIFI which was really inconvenient but didn't detract from the accommodation as a whole. We arrived to find green woodpeckers in the garden and woke to the sound of cuckoos in a nearby wood! In the evening we sat out in the garden which was south facing, peaceful and sheltered. The location is good for visiting the area as its only five minutes to the A28 which runs straight into Tours one way and Le Mans the other. The bed was comfy, there was English TV and we loved the choice of DVD's and CD's. This was the last leg of our 2 week car tour of France and was by far the nicest accommodation we stayed in - will recommend it to friends and family and would definitely stay here again (especially if wifi is installed!!)
