Location Maison de Vacances. Vallée et Chateaux de la Loire. Calme. Paris 1H30

We had a lovely holiday at Vila Chanterive, the contact with the proprietate was pleasant and the house is perfect for a stay a the Loire in the nature. You must love quiet places and there are no facilities in the little village but driving by car of bike you will find them. We were with 2 kids and have fished, swimmed and played at the loire and the canal. Love to come back!

In June 2017 my family spent a lovely month at Vincent’s house in Combleux, just outside of Orléans. We are a family of four (kids ages 10 and 8). The house was a good size for us – enough rooms to spread out and each have our space. The kitchen had everything we needed – pots pans, etc. My husband worked from a home office in one of the bedrooms. The wi-fi was good and he had a work space with a view of the Loire out the window. There were two heat waves when we were there. There’s no air conditioning, but we closed the windows and shutters in the morning and the house stayed cool.

We found a lot to do in the area. We discovered parks nearby and rented bicycles in Saint Jean de Braye. The immediate neighbourhood was quiet, quaint and very safe. It felt like we were staying at a cottage. We went into Paris a few times by taking the tram into Orléans then the SNCF into Paris. It worked out really well, although it was a long journey (2 hours one way). I hadn’t realized Combleux was 20 min away from the Orléans station.

Vincent was a good host. He was very responsive and thorough with correspondence before we arrived. He was not available when we arrived so arranged for a woman to meet us. He was very accommodating – even arranged to mail my daughter’s dresses to us when we realized she had forgotten them!

Villa Chanterive is a comfortable house on the bank of the Loire river. The view from the first floor (terras) and the master bedroom is really nice. The house and its beautiful surroundings like the river and the village are fantastic and peaceful. You can walk to Orléans (7 km) alongside the river. Children can play on the beaches near the Loire. There are many paths for bikes and hikes. Good public transportation is near by. Orléans is a very nice city. And of course, lots of castles in the vicinity.

In the house is a booklet with information and maps of the region, shops, activities etcetera. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Sehr ruhig gelegenes Ferienhäuschen auf abgeschlossenem Grundstück direkt an der Loire. Charmante, saubere Einrichtung, sehr gute Betten und moderne, leistungsstarke Haushaltsgeräte (Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine, Kühlschrank, Herd). Stabiles, starkes WLAN - das war für unsere beiden Teenager viel wichtiger als alles andere ;-) Wir haben uns zu viert in der Villa Chanterive sehr wohl gefühlt und in der einen Woche ganz viel besichtigt, z.B. Château de Brézé, Château Royal de Blois, Château de Chenonceau, Paris, Orléans und Château de Versailles. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit und kommen gerne wieder.

Quiet and secluded holiday home on a gated property situated on the Loire riverbank. Charming and clean house with very comfortable beds and modern, efficient equipment (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, oven). Good quality WIFI was very much appreciated by our teenage daughters who loved to relax by streaming movies after a long day spent sightseeing ;-) We are a family of four and had a very lovely stay at Villa Chanterive. During our one-week stay we visited Château de Brézé, Château Royal de Blois, Château de Chenonceau, Paris, Orléans, and Château de Versailles. We had a wonderful time and will likely be back for another stay.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour , très reposant dans cette maison idéalement située:
