Central location in well-known French wine making region. Lots of history and castles. 1 hour from Paris by TGV. Near the nice towns of Amboise and Tours. Guests may use the neighbouring heated pool and large pool garden. The house is centrally located in the village of Reugny, the rural landscape starts at the garden's edge. The village has basic commerce such as mini supermarket, bakery, butcher, pharmacist, hairdresser and the local bar/bistro. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. There are 2 showers (one connected to bedroom 2, the other is located downstairs). The bathrooms are âcompactâ. There are 3 toilets: one connected to bedroom 2, one downstairs (compact) and one located next to the attic bedroom. Airconditioning in the living room and in the bedrooms. EV charging and parking on premise. Secluded courtyard and Garden. Large table in the courtyard for outdoor dining. The pool garden is shared with other guests. Arrangements can be made for âprivateâ pool use (time slots). The dining room can seat 8 persons. Outside, there is a big table for up to 10 people (in the summer you will be eating outside mostly)
We enjoyed our stay, the pool was excellent but the statement as to bathrooms greatly exaggerated the awkward wc and shower facilities. The local cafe and shops were really good.
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in diesem bezaubernden, alten Haus mit Pool. Da wir zu sechst mit Hund da waren, benötigten wir ein groĂes Haus mit Platz, und den hatten wir mit 3 Schlafzimmern, einer KĂŒche und dem Wohnzimmer. Weil wir vornehmlich schönes Wetter hatten, konnten wir den Poolbereich, aber auch die ĂŒberdachten FreiplĂ€tze mit Grill und Feuerstelle, ausgiebig nutzen und hatten dort herrliche Tage und Abende. Wie vom Vermieter angekĂŒndigt, war der Wechsel zwischen den Vermietungen etwas knapp, so daĂ nicht Alles perfekt sauber war, was uns aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Unser Ansprechpartner vor Ort war reizend und sehr um uns bemĂŒht sowie um die Sauberkeit des Pools ! Grosses Lob dafĂŒr ! Leider fehlte im Haus ein groĂer Tisch fĂŒr 6 Personen, was an den Regentagen fĂŒr Enge beim FrĂŒhstĂŒck sorgte. Ein kleiner Supermarkt, sowie Metzger und BĂ€cker in 1 min LaufnĂ€he, sowie schöne Radwege und kurze Distanzen zu Amboise und Tours sind ebenfalls Pluspunkte.Wir waren perfekt erholt !!
When we arrived the house had not been aired for some time and was very warm and smelt damp. We opened everything up and the smell disappeared after a day or so. By use of shutters and air conditioning the temperature inside the house became very comfortable, whilst it was getting up to 27Âș plus outside.
The bathroom accommodation could be better. The ensuite to bed 2 is adequate, albeit separated from the bedroom by a curtain only. The top (2nd) floor bedroom makes a great children's room and it has a basin on the landing outside the bedroom door and a toilet in a sort of box room across the landing, which has a feel of "work in progress".
Bedroom 1 on the first floor have to use the ground floor toilet and shower, which are very compact and being just outside the kitchen are not very private.
The living room is small for the house. There is nowhere that 6 people could sit down comfortably inside to share a meal. Luckily we had excellent weather and were able to have all our meals using the the very nice outside table and chairs with huge umbrella (which was great!), which are on a very small patch of grass next to the parked cars.
There is space under a lean-to roof that could accommodate the table and chairs but it would have been dark, and with inadequate lighting.
The provided Weber BBQ and chimney starter are excellent and we used them every day.
The pool and surround are really lovely and much appreciated. Good that they are separate from the house, for children.
We have the next door family house in the village since 1970. In 2020 we purchased the neighbouring house, with which we can nicely share the pool area.
