Great place to stay

our stay in the Loire region

Our stay in the farmhouse was wonderful. We got up with the song of birds and got asleep with the sound of frogs having a good time. There is a lot to see in the neighbourhood. Not only castles, but also very beautiful nature, beautiful villages and more. The people were very friendly and they always wanted to help us if needed.Laurent was very, very kind. we want to thank him for his hospitality! Annelies and Peter.

Détente et visites

Maison chaleureuse, fonctionnelle et assez confortable, située dans un hameau très calme. Malgré des vacances tardives (19 sept au 24 sept) nous avons pu profiter de la piscine chauffée. Étant à proximité des châteaux, nous avons visité un jardin de château ,sommes allés au Zoo de Beauval et visité un petit village tout près.

Très belle longère

Très belle maison ,superbe piscine .cadre très agréable et paisible. Nous avons pu profiter de la piscine, visiter le château a loches et le zoo de Beauval. Séjour rapide mais je recommande et a revenir si on devrait passer par la maison propre. Mes enfants (9ans,7ans,4ans et 1an)ont adorés ils voulaient plus partir. Beaucoup de jouets et livres a disposition ainsi que tout le mobilier pour bébé . Juste le matelas du lit 2 personnes qui est en fin de vie on reste enfoncé.
