Die Wohnung ist super eingerichtet. Alles hat gut funkzoniert und es war eine Waschmaschine vorhanden.

Es gibt im Ort nur zwei Restaurants.

The property is attached to the host's house; she was there to open the gates to allow us to bring our motorcycle into the property and the garage. This was our second time; we will come again.

I cannot think of anything that displeased us. The welcome was warm and helpful; everything was as good as we remembered from two years previously. It was the end of a heatwave, but a fan and a mobile air conditioning unit was ready for us to use in the property.

This is a lovely, spacious and well furnished accommodation, set in a beautiful private garden shared with the owner of the property. We happened to be visiting during an extreme heat wave with temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, which made it challenging to keep our unit comfortable in the absence of A/C. Luckily we had years of experience surviving the torrid summers in Japan so we managed the only way we knew how--by keeping doors/windows wide open at night, and closing windows, shades and curtains during the day. It was almost too hot even to go outdoors in the day, but we did visit some Vouvray wineries, several of which are within walking distance (with their chilly caves) for tastings, a boat ride on the Cher, a visit to Tours, etc. There are a huge variety of sightseeing possibilities in the area, depending on one's energy level. We enjoyed many of our meals in the garden outside our apartment, although it was challenging to wait for the shadier hours to do so. This place would be paradise during milder weather! Nonetheless, in a way the challenge of dealing with the weather made our stay all the more memorable! The property's owner is charming, helpful and friendly.

100 degree temperatures! But that's a problem being faced by all of France this summer.
