A cave house with a historic charm

Step back in time and experience a truly unique holiday in this charming 130 mÂČ cave house, steeped in rustic history and nestled in the peaceful countryside of the Loire Valley. Once home to hardworking farm laborers who collected limetruffel to help build the region's grand castles, this home now welcomes guests with simple comfort and a storybook setting. Ideal for up to 6 guests, it offers an extraordinary retreat for those seeking a slower pace of life surrounded by natural beauty and historic wonder.

The interiors are cozy and practical, blending old-world character with essential modern amenities. The living room invites relaxation with a satellite TV and a traditional fireplace for cool evenings. The well-equipped kitchen includes a hob, oven, combination microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer perfect for cooking hearty meals after a day of exploration. The ground floor features two double bedrooms, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a separate toilet. Upstairs, a third bedroom with two single beds completes the space, making it suitable for families or groups of friends.

Outside, enjoy a tranquil garden with a terrace, garden furniture, and a BBQ ideal for open-air meals under the stars. A high chair is available for young guests, and electric heating ensures comfort in all seasons. Just 20 km from the routes to the Loire’s iconic castles like Montrichard, Chenonceaux, and Amboise, this hidden gem is a perfect base for discovering vineyards, history, and timeless French charm—all from the cozy haven of a hillside cave.

Fangen wir mal mit dem Positiven an: Die Region ist sehr schön; Einige der schönsten Schlösser der Loire (Valençay, Chenounceau, Chaumont, Chambord) sind in relativ kurzer Zeit erreichbar (zwischen 20 Minuten und Dreiviertelstunde); im Haus ist es kĂŒhl - ein Segen in der sendenden Hitze. Man kann auch nicht sagen, dass etwas fehlt. FĂŒr uns sehr positiv: Haustiere sind willkommen. Man ist ĂŒbrigens ziemlich weit von der Zivilisation entfernt, was selbstverstĂ€ndlich Vor- und hat. Nun zu den negativen Punkten. Im Eingangsbereich riecht es aufgrund der hohen Feuchtigkeit ziemlich muffig, womit man in einem Höhlenhaus rechnen kann. Im Haus leben viele Insekten, aber keine lĂ€stigen: Jedenfalls gab es kaum MĂŒcken. Eine Nacktschnecke haben wir auch gesichtet. Das Bad könnte auch mal renoviert werden; Aus der Toilette kommen auch lĂ€stige GerĂ€usche (es tröpfelt irgendwo stĂ€ndig). Die Schlafzimmer sind gerĂ€umig und angenehm gestaltet. Die Betten sind jedoch zu kurz (wir sind keine Riesen, aber wir passen kaum rein). DarĂŒber hinaus konnten wir das GefĂŒhl nicht verlieren, dass sie durch irgendwelche unerwĂŒnschten Lebewesen bevölkert sind (mit Sicherheit wissen wir es nicht: Möglicherweise war es nur Einbildung). Sonst hat man den Eindruck, dass Möbel, einige der ElektrogerĂ€te und auch sonstige GerĂ€te und GegenstĂ€nde (WĂ€schestĂ€nder, BĂŒgelbrett) von den EigentĂŒmern erst dann aussortiert und den GĂ€sten zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt wurden, als sie unbrauchbar/unansehnlich wurden. Freilich muss nicht alles nagelneu sein, aber hier wurde die Mindestgrenze deutlich unterschritten). Was uns am meisten gestört hat: SchwĂ€mme und Lappen waren so dreckig, dass wir uns nicht vorstellen können, dass die GĂ€ste sie tatsĂ€chlich benutzt haben. NatĂŒrlich haben wir gleich neu gekauft. Noch ein Punkt: Im Hof steht ein KĂ€fig, in dem Hunde gehalten werden. Mal sind diese ruhig, mal bellen sie auch ĂŒber lĂ€ngere ZeitrĂ€ume. Insgesamt hatten wir das GefĂŒhl, dass ein sehr großes Potenzial da ist, das aber

Sejour autour de Beauval

Lieu insolite semi troglodyte, agréable pour un week end et bien situé pour visiter les chùteaux de La Loire et le zoo de Beauval. Philippe est un hÎte trÚs sympathique, qui donne de bonnes indications sur sa région et les lieux à découvrir.

Güte rudimentaire à l’excùs

La qualitĂ© de la prestation n’était malheureusement pas au niveau du prix de la location du gĂźte. GĂźte tres rudimentaire malgrĂ© son originalitĂ© et l’accueil minimaliste. Il conviendrait de prĂ©ciser la prĂ©sence d’un chenil.

A fuir

Bien trop cher pour les prestations...confort aucun canapé avachie, salle d eau qui mériterait un bon ravalement, volet qui ne ferme pas complÚtement, chiens qui aboient et surtout maison avec beaucoup d humidité et froide, une cheminée à allumer qui ne chauffe pas ...pas du tout adapté à de jeunes enfants ou des personnes à mobilité réduite. Pour la distance pour le zoo de beauval c est à 20mn et non à 10mn et comble occupée par des souris ou autres bestioles.... C est sur nous ne reviendrons pas !!!!
