Jun 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely, authentic place for 1-3 people A cosy and characterful Gite in a beautiful, remote location. The host was always very friendly and happy to help (they speak limited English but are handy with Google Translate!) which I appreciated very much. The complimentary biscuits and chilled apple juice were delicious! The bed was comfortable and the shower was easy to use and get up to temperature. The only minus point I would make is that the curtains in the bedroom don't quite close fully and let a lot of light through, so if you stay in the summer then your sleep will be largely limited by the sun's presence (I also felt like I needed to get dressed in a different room...). There is another (single) bed in the living room where the curtains/blinds are much better. ##### Michael G. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Franck L. Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Tres beau gîte, bon accueil avec spécialités du coin ,propriétaire très gentil ,petit bemol les horaires d'ouvertures de la piscine .Pas vraiment adaptées quand vous revenez des visites des chateaux de la loire.Pas annoncé dans l'annonce quand nous louons le gîte.,mais uniquement sur place.Tres belle piscine par contre. ##### Franck L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent M. Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Toujours agréable et reposant ! Notre second séjour ici, et toujours aussi satisfaits. Calme, verdure, piscine, et l'hôte est discrète mais également disponible. certes c'est un peu éloigné des grands châteaux de la Loire, mais il y a beaucoup de patrimoine et d'activités aux alentours. Merci encore ! ##### Vincent M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent M. Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Parfait Très bon accueil, et gîte très propre. La localisation est idéale, pour son calme et sa proximité avec de nombreuses choses à découvrir . Enfin, pouvoir profiter de la piscine, quel plaisir. Merci encore. ##### Vincent M.
