Bien que les draps et serviettes étaient propres, le reste du gîte était sale, des toiles d'araignées et de poussière partout, la vaisselle douteuse les tiroirs à couverts sales, bref on était obligé de laver avant tout ce qu'on voulait utiliser. Le lave vaisselle nettoyait très mal, du coup on relavait encore une fois derrière. La table branlante, les chaises en osier abîmées... Le pire a été la souris qui a grimpé le long d'une serviette dans la grande chambre (on a vu après qu'il y avait un piège à souris dans un coin de la chambre, mais inefficace apparemment). Bref on voit que le gîte a été bien à une époque mais pas du tout entretenu, nous ne recommandons pas du tout! ##### sophie z. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie M. Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gîte confortable spacieux et bien situé dans le sud du val de Loire Tout s'est bien déroulé dans le gite. Le hameau est calme et entouré de cultures. Sa proximité au château de Rivau permet de s'y balader aisément. Chinon, l'abbaye de Fontevraud et Richelieu sont également proches. ##### Marie M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Francois D. May 3, 2019 #### Cadre sympathique Gîte agréable. Le Spa est un plus mais bien le préparer à l'avance. Le temps de chauffe est un peu long ##### Francois D. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven B. Aug 18, 2018 #### Quiet and relaxing lication in a very small hamlet close to Chinon Having rented gites in France ovee many years we have always been slightly disappointed by tired properties, but this gite lived up to its description in all respects. Everything needed for a relaxing holiday but we were a party of 4 if 10 I think it would be crowded. Locally there are many chateaux and attractions within 60 minutes of the gite. Chinon and Tours offer small town facilities. Would recommend this gite to smaller groups. ##### Steven B. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018
