Old charming Touraine house, completely renovated, surrounded by trees and enclosed.

We loved every minute of our stay in this house and in this area. The house is so well-appointed, we enjoyed the woodburner stove on colder days, and we could sleep with windows wide open because it is so quiet at night. Only the beautiful bird song will wake you up in the morning. House is very comfortable, beds were great, kitchen had everything we needed - and more! Owners were super friendly and helpful. We couldn't wish for a better place. Cycling was excellent in the area, as were historical castles and chateaus.

Lovely quirky house with everything you need

Perfectly clean, the hosts are wonderful and you have everything you need. Easy reach of several chateaus but car is essential for everything. Supermarket just a 5 min drive. House is really fun and full of character and charm. The drought had destroyed any grass on the lawns but there was still lots of colour in the garden and the ping pong table was very popular! Worth knowing: All of the upstairs rooms involve using awkward steps. Our daughter has slight mobility issues and struggled. You have to walk through the office (downstairs bedroom) to get to the upstairs rooms and bathroom. The only bath/shower is the en-suite to the main bedroom. Lots of moving through each other’s bedrooms so just make sure you are comfortable with sharing space! Also worth knowing that there is only one very small oven (smaller than a microwave) and two small gas rings. There are two additional electric rings you can plug in and the BBQ is excellent. We loved it once we got our head around a slightly different way of living. Great fun!

A peaceful property, spotlessly clean with lovely owners. We arrived in May, one of the hottest for many years but there are plenty of spaces in the generous garden to find shade. It is ideally located for visiting all the major places of interest. Due to the heat we spent little time inside as the bbq provided evening meals, but there was everything we could have needed at the property for a our visit. Just a note about the stairs in the property, if you have mobility issues, these would be challenging. We had a brilliant stay here. A week is just not enough time to see everything this region has to offer.

Fantastic. One of the best cottages we've ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean. Very well equipped kitchen. Spacious - inside and out. The hosts were very welcoming and close by if we needed anything. And the area is lovely. So much to see, so close by. More than we could manage.

We very much enjoyed staying in this private and quiet property, which is located close to attractive towns , villages and Châteaux , as well as excellent walks. (Richelieu ‘s tourist office has walk guides in English.)

This property is even more stunning than in the photos. We absolutely loved staying here; like living in a piece of history. Very tastefully decorated and absolutely spotless. The owner was extremely welcoming - thank you for the lovely homemade jam and bottle of local wine on arrival. The house was the perfect base for exploring the Loire valley. So much to see and do, we couldn't fit it all in. The surrounding countryside and thousands of sunflowers made for lovely drives between the different chateaux ,towns and villages. Would love to come back again! Thank you Florent and Juanella from the Crew family.

We loved everything about this well equipped house. The owners gave us wine and delicious home made jam on arrival and were very helpful. There is an excellent restaurant in walking distance. We would stay again.

Beautiful property and a fantastic 2 week stay

After arriving very late due an evening flight from UK, we were welcomed at around midnight by the owner Florent and his son. He was very kind, spoke good English and showed us around the stunning property before leaving us to settle to bed. Despite the lateness of our arrival he waited for us and welcomed us with a big smile! The cottage which has plenty of private enclosed parking, is within metres and easy walking distance of some amazing rural countryside and beautiful landscapes. There were bikes to use which we found fun (2 adult, 2 teenager and small child ) and a large supermarket only a 5min drive away which sells everything you could ever need at very reasonable prices. It was our sons 16th birthday so we decided to visit Paris on one of our days . We travelled from Gare de Tours and bought day trip rail tickets which were about 40€ each return . This got us to Paris where we bought Metro (underground) tickets to hop on and off at the major tourist sites! Well worth it and so much fun. Countless numbers of chateaux and vineyards within easy reach from the cottage . We visited Château du Petit Thouars for a vineyard tour and wine tasting. It was a small family run vineyard with amazing history (from €5 each) . We also travelled to La Rochelle which was a 2h car ride . In hindsight my husband said it was probably a bit adventurous, but was a beautiful seaside city! The cottage was well equipped , decorated authentically and was spotlessly clean. There was a gift of jams and marmalade on the table made by Florent's wife Juanella which was a lovely touch and delicious! The grounds are stunning with fruit trees and lots of different garden areas to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Amazingly peaceful and tranquil. The children enjoyed a vast array of games on offer including swing ball, tennis, table tennis and swings. The garden is also superb for hide and seek as the sun is setting ! If you are reading this wondering wether to book this stunning place then all I can say is do it! You will not be disappointed I promise. One of he best holidays ever. Thank you for an amazing holiday ?? X
