The property is very well looked after and Christophe was a superb host. He gave some great tips for restaurants and was available whenever we needed help. Lovely location and easy to get to the chateau. Iâd say you do need a car to stay here. Also, and this was my fault for not reading carefully enough, the fourth bedroom area is not separate so someone has to sleep in an area that others walk through.
We had an issue with our booking on our day of arrival. Christophe was amazing to rapidly find a solution for us by..proposing his own house that is marvellous. Not sure he will be ready to do it again but he fully trust us and prepared everything for us on the spot. We have never had such a worndeful host, ready to accomodate and give a new experience. Great and all kudos to him as he is the best. THanks again, Oscar
We (2 families, 4A 3C) had a fantastic stay in Christopheâs gite. Itâs a beautiful, old building, full of chararacter and beautifully decorated.
Itâs located in a quiet hamlet, but is ideally located between Tours and Blois with many chateaux within a short drive. There is a large supermarket in Amboise, about 10 mins drive away.
The gite was very comfortable with seating/eating areas inside and out. The splash pool was a big hit with the children and great for cooling down in the warm summer days/evenings.
There are three distinct bedrooms plus a day bed in a curtained-off area that can be used as a fourth bedroom, as well as bathrooms upstairs and downstairs so easy for two families to share the property. Obviously in such an old property there was no aircon but fans are provided upstairs.
The kitchen is well stocked and there is a large fridge/freezer. The washing machine in one of the outbuildings was also really useful.
Wi-fi was a little slow and worked better in the garden than the gite itself but it was fine.
Christophe was a superb host. He lives on the property but didnât intrude but also answered any questions very promptly.
I would highly recommend this gite to anyone looking to explore the Loire valley. Itâs a beautiful property in a fantastic location.
Verbrachten mit Familie (6 Personen) eine sehr schöne Woche an der Loire.
Das Ferienhaus war sehr schön gelegen, groà und gut gepflegt.
Toll war der beheizte Pool den die Kinder auch schon im Mai nutzen konnten.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes, gemĂŒtliches und gepflegtes Haus mit hĂŒbschem Innenhof. Perfekt gelegen fĂŒr die Besichtigung vieler Loire-Schlösser. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich - rundum zu empfehlen!
This old farm house has been beautifully renovated and made for a spacious and welcoming home base while we visited the region. Our favorite part might have been the living room / dinning room downstairs which was made even more inviting by the wood stove that Christophe had going when we arrived. He was a friendly and gracious host. I would recommend this home wholeheartedly and tell you that our only regret was not staying longer !!
Superb holiday home with every comfort and in a stunning setting
What a wonderful holiday cottage this is. The interior decor is the first thing you notice; there has been so much attention put into making this a home and not just some bland, cheap holiday rental. The layout of the gite is great with 3 bedrooms, bathroom and TV area upstairs and a master bedroom with shower room, kitchen and lounge/dinning area downstairs. The wood-burning fire was utter bliss during our wintery, festive stay and a Christmas tree had been put up to welcome us!
I can imagine that anyone renting this in the summer would be delighted with the outdoor space and swimming pool.... however, we just ducked in and out of the garden as it was rather freezing during our stay.
The location was just what we love - in the middle of countryside and vineyards with the sound of owls at night, the perfect getaway when you live in the city. Amboise is a 15 minute drive away, there is a fabulous swimming pool in Montrichard (25 mins away) for those who have kids and want a larger place to spash. Tours is 45 mins away on a clear run.... all in all, the perfect setting for getting to visit the Loire and its chateaux.
Christophe the owner was lovely and very helpful before and during our holiday. Thank you Christophe!
