Ein Bäcker und eine Superette mit Metzger finden sich fußläufig im Dorf. Die Gastgeber Sylvie und Patrick (er spricht ein wenig Englisch) sind super freundlich und obwohl sie mit auf dem Grundstück wohnen, nimmt man sie eigentlich nicht wahr, ausser es gibt ein Problem - dann wird dieses umgehend gelöst. Der Pool ist herrlich, man teilt ihn sich aber mit den wechselnden Gästen der ebenfalls vermieteten zwei Chambres d'hôtes auf dem Gelände, was sich aber unkompliziert gestaltet. Das Haus ist bestens und geschmackvoll ausgestattet und war das bisher sauberste Ferienhaus, das ich gesehen habe in 30 Jahren. TV-Sender gibt es nur in französisch, das WLAN lässt aber Streaming über Tablett oder AppleTV gut zu. Wir haben unsere zwei Wochen sehr genossen und wurden zum Abschied sogar noch auf einen Apéro auf der Terrasse eingeladen. Als Ausgangspunkt für den Besuch der vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten des Loiretals kann man das Haus nur empfehlen. ##### Michael K. Stayed 20 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard P.
