This is truely a splendid location to enjoy the Brenne's amazing rich nature: red deer, wild boar, red fox, a great number of bird species. They can all be seen around the house and in the etang and forest in the 'backgarden' of the beautiful house.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is located beautiful. We were warmly welcomed by Françoise, who is very helpful. Everything you need is present. You have a beautiful view on the lake. We like birding and we were not disappointed. We also saw many roe deer. We are looking forward to our return in september.
Les Etangs Chats is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in - the house was a lovely cool refuge from the heat and the grounds were stunning. Francoise and her family were welcoming, friendly and did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
As keen wildlife watchers, this was a paradise for us - we could relax outside the property watching ospreys, kingfishers, purple and night herons, red deer, wild boar and so much more. The area of La Brenne is stunning and very very quiet.
Close to the perfect holiday - I'm sure we will return.
Beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well equipped property in the heart of la Brenne. We are birdwatchers and saw many birds on our private lake. A warm welcome from Francoise and her daughter who showed us round. Francoiseâs husband drove us around their magnificent estate. Would love to return, perhaps in a different season.
Thank you.
I didn't want to award 5 stars incase too many people start visiting and book when I want to go next.
We are both keen on wildlife and this place has it in abundance, especially birds. We saw 4 foxes playing early one morning and and osprey and kingfishers catching fish. Will be returning for certain. Francoise is also a great hostess and very quick to respond to emails. Dean

Another great week watching the wildlife, family of wild pigs wandering about the lake edge and a good chat to the fish farm worker as to how things worked. Would recommend this his site to anyone who loves nature. Great little restaurant in St Micheal de Brenne for a lunch time meal as well.
Fantastic house with a great outdoor space. On a separate estate, with lots of privacy.
The owner is very friendly and very helpful.
Dozens of routes for walking and cycling are available.
You can't swim in the lakes. And a car is required.
Amazingly beautiful environment - loads of wildlife (egrets, herons, grebes, deer, boar) and just the place to sit back and relax. Well-appointed accommodation all on one level and lots of outdoor space to relax. Only downside was the biting flies in the woods where we walked the dog every morning but I guess that is a seasonal problem.
Nearby villages have all the basics and are a 10-12 minute drive away.
Wonderful roads for road cycling - surfaces good, lots of options for circular routes, local drivers generally courteous and leave enough space, some climbs about 15 to 20 km to the south if you are looking for them. We didn't have gravel/ off-road bikes so I can't comment on the network of trails
Basically, a great place
