Moulin XVe siècle - Gîte privatif 8 pers - Rivière - Châteaux de la Loire

Die Lage war sehr schön. Wir konnten uns mit Hund frei auf dem weitläufigen Grundstück bewegen. Der Empfang der Gastgeber war herzlich und sie haben uns den Aufenthalt durch kleine Aufmerksamkeiten versüßt.

Le charme et le calme de la demeure, la qualité et la profusion des équipements, la localisation idéale aux portes de Chambord, la fluidité des échanges avec les propriétaires et leurs conseils avisés

The apartment is located in an incredibly peaceful and secluded natural setting, where in the evening all you can hear are the cicadas and the gentle sound of running water. It is truly beautiful. The building itself is a little neglected, and you have to carry your luggage up a fairly steep staircase to reach the apartment. However, the apartment is very nice, well equipped, and has comfortable beds. One thing I don't understand is why guests are asked to park outside the gate when there is a large courtyard inside the property with plenty of space and secure parking. Fortunately, after discussing it with the host, we were allowed to park inside. The host was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful.

The only thing that concerned us at the beginning was an unexpected request, less than 24 hours before arrival, to pay a security deposit of more than €800. This requirement had not been mentioned anywhere in the Booking.com listing or booking conditions. Fortunately, everything worked out well, and the deposit was refunded to our account about a week later.

The hotel is located down a very quiet road in the forest by the river. It was lovely. The room was very tastefully designed and decorated. It was clean (although the floors felt a bit dusty). And the floors in the room are very slippery and extremely squeaky. You couldn't walk from the bed to the bathroom during the night without waking everyone up because of how loud the floors are. That said, everything else about our stay was nice. Friendly hosts. Lots of French pastries and jams for breakfast.

Squeaky floors.
