Exceptional Holiday Retreat

This property is of high end quality. Extremely well appointed. Couldn't find a fault with anything. The concierge is helpful ,pleasant and always on the end of a text message if needed. The pool for which she also cares for was always spotless, it is cleaned every day. The gite is in a perfect position for visiting Loches and the Chateaux's of the Loire. The local boulangerie in the village has an excellent range of breads savouries and patissiere. The owners are very helpful and welcoming.
