Oh wow this house! This might be my favourite Vrbo house ever. The photos seriously don't do it justice. Kitchen is great - well stocked with everything you'd need, including 2 fridges and 2 dishwashers. It's clearly a house that is lived in rather than just used as a holiday place, so has been well maintained. Gregoire and Alexandra are excellent hosts, unobtrusive but easily available when we needed them (they spend the summer in a cottage next door). Gregoire's tour told us some of the history of the place which was genuinely fascinating. I also appreciated that the hosts were relatively relaxed about house rules (unlike some other places where I have spent all week worrying about children leaving footprints on wood floors!) We had Alexandra cook a meal for us, which I would definitely recommend - superb flavours and beautifully presented. Not really any down-sides to this place, but a few things to note for future guests... You need insect repellent in the forest or if you sit out in the evenings. The house is not close to any villages so you end up driving every day to get food etc. Bikes are useful. Our kids were a bit sensitive to the pool chemicals so we would hose everyone down after they'd been in. But honestly, this is a fantastic place and great value for money - my only fear is that when I look at this listing in a year's time it will be 100% booked out or double the price.

We absolutelyl loved this property and the hosts! 5 star all around. Alexandra and Gregoire are a pleasure, helpful beyond belief (we were sick and Alwxandra went above and beyond to help us.). She is also a fantastic cook and cooked 4 meals for us out of the 8 nights we stayed there. All very gourmet and so lovely to eat outside under the huge tree with the chandelier. I just feel bad, because we were so sick! My husband ended up in the hospital. Turns out we had a very bad case of bronchitis. Not sure if we would have made it through the week without Alexandra's help! I can't recommend this beautiful property with fantastic hosts enough!!!

We hosted several groups of friends over a two week period and had an amazing time. We explored the grounds, played on the lawn, swam in the pool and fell in love with our evenings around the table and under the historic oak tree. The house is rustic, so be aware, but that is what makes it beautiful. A great central location 10 minutes from Cour-Cheverny and 20 minutes from the train station in Blois. And best of all Gregoire and Alexandra could not be more gracious and hospitable. We wanted for nothing….except more time.

The property was perfect for hosting multiple families with young children for our visit to France ahead of a family wedding. The history of the property was fascinating, we had plenty of room to house 4 families and a couple other cousins. The hosts were even kind enough to let us host a dinner for other family members staying nearby. Gregoire stayed in a cottage close by and was very kind and responsive to help with any issues that came up, and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. We’re so glad we chose this property for our adventure and would definitely come back in the future!

We enjoyed a fantastic holiday with family and friends in this beautiful house and grounds. The house is conveniently located and has great character and outstanding facilities. The on-site property managers were extremely friendly and helpful and quick to respond to any issues that arose.

A small chateau in its time made into a family home where you can relax with your family, of all ages. Lots of space, inside and out, games, and a swimming pool for all to enjoy. An historic building with antique furniture, artefacts and artwork to admire. Much time was spent in our home from home, with short trips out to the boulangerie, shops and local village, and to Blois, Huards for wine tasting, Chateau de Cherverny and to the Loire for kayaking. A wonderful holiday for our family of 3 generations aged from 3 to 71.

Wonderful stay! Alexandra has amazing 500 year old house which is absolutely fabulous. Caroline amd Adrian are the local contacts and they do a marvelous job of keeping it in shape and helping guests. Cannot recommend any higher!

The house is really a small castle and is filled with historical items and beautiful furniture. It is like staying in a true castle. What a wonderful place.

Our four-day stay in this old, enormous, creaky castle was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us, and easily the highlight of our two-week stay in France.
The home is an easy drive to Chenenceaux and Ambroise, which were also magical. Highly recommended.

Although it is old, the house is very well maintained. The property is private, quiet and beautiful. Six of us spent 2 weeks there in June, 2022. Great support from owner and from caretakers in nearby house. House was equipped with everything you might need. New showers. 2 refrigerators. Great outside sitting area with chandelier in a 400 year old tree in the back!

An unforgettable holiday
We stayed here for a week with 6 adults and five children and had a most wonderful time. Before arriving, the communication with the owners was easy, quick and friendly. The welcoming was warm and the castle did not disappoint. It is a place with a lot of soul and character, and beautifully decorated. The property is huge and our three families each had a wing in the house. The rooms are very spacious and light, and everything is up to standards and clean. The owners live in the house outside the holiday season, so it is well taken care off. The big kitchen was perfect for our family cooking sessions, and we were delighted to find a plancha outside (which we almost used every day). We had wonderful lunches and dinners under the magnificent century-old oak in the garden. The kids loved the playing room and to explore the castle and its immense garden (including cows and pigs). The big trampoline and pool obviously were a big success as well. A fence around the pool was installed as an extra precaution for the smallest children. The property is very calm without any nearby neighbours. There is a bakery and butcher in the village nearby, a very big supermarket is only a 10 minute drive away. Do visit the winery 'Domaine des Huards' in the same street, and ask for a bottle of the 'Vivier' which is made from grapes grown on the property. This charming castle is highly recommended and we hope to visit it again.

Verblijf in een kasteel.
Een bijzondere ervaring om in zo’n enorm huis te verblijven. Met vier volwassenen en vijf kinderen hebben we nog niet de helft van de beschikbare slaapplaatsen benut. Voor de kinderen is het huis een feest. Een overvloed aan speelgoed, verkleedkleren, spellen, verstoppertje spelen, en niet te vergeten een fijn zwembad. Kom hier niet voor een hypermoderne keuken, of gelikte badkamers. Maar zoek je ruimte, rust en sfeer op een centraal gelegen lokatie in een eeuwenoud ‘kasteel’, dan is dit een fantastische plek met aardige verhuurders. Wij hebben genoten.

La vie de château!
Le manoir est spacieux, conforme à la description sur le site.
Beaucoup de charme, un parfum d'histoire récente et ancienne... une âme.
Les points positifs: la cour et la grande tablée à l'ombre du chêne quadricentenaire, la piscine, le piano, les nombreuses bibliothèques, le billard, la table de ping-pong, le babyfoot, la localisation proche de nombreux sites à visiter, le calme, le parc.
Les points moins positifs: la salle à manger un peu petite, le Rdch globalement sombre, certains sanitaires vétustes.
Les légers désagréments sont largement compensés par l'amabilité de la propriétaire et de Christophe qui a été aux petits soins pour nous durant le séjour.

Delightful, authentic, welcoming house
What a beautiful and comfortable house. We've stayed in France many times, but this is our favourite house so far. Whilst being very large, the house was comfortable and we could immediately relax. Having 6 children in our party, the gardens, and games rooms were perfect, not to mention the heated pool which lovely. The house was private, and the owner was very helpful, as well speaking excellent English. I'd recommend this house to large families and groups every time.

Manoir de charme
Ce manoir du charme de presque 500 ans est idéal pour se reposer de la vie parisienne en famille; il est spacieux, convivial et bien chauffé pour les personnes âgées(nous avons séjourné en hiver). Havre de paix et de verdure, il est entouré d'un grand parc, mais les commerces ne sont pas très loin (5mn en voiture)
Il est très bien situé par rapport aux châteaux de la Loire (Cheverny, Chambord, Blois à moins d'un quart d'heure de route) et pas très loin du zoo de Beauval. Ce que les enfants ont apprécié ainsi que le babyfoot ou la table de ping-pong s'il pleut (Nous n'avons pas testé la piscine).
Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et chaleureux, ils nous ont indiqué de bonnes adresses pour nous restaurer et goûter du vin de Loire.
Nous sommes venus à 16 petits et grands passer les fêtes de Noël et sommes tous très enchantés de notre séjour en ce lieu historique.

Un endroit accueillant pour toute la famille
Idéalement située au coeur des châteaux de la Loire, cette vaste demeure est un lieu d'accueil chaleureux et de détente pour tous les âges. Nous avions réuni nos enfants et petits-enfants, soit huit adultes et sept enfants de 18 mois à 11 ans, pour une semaine. Aucun problème pour accommoder tout le monde avec assez d'intimité pour tous.
Il y a plein de jeux pour tous les âges et la piscine chauffée est bien agréable après une journée de visites.
La demeure est ancienne et les aménagements le sont souvent aussi. Ça donne du charme mais il faut accepter des salles de bains (nombreuses et fonctionnelles) "à l'ancienne", Les meubles sont aussi anciens (parfois un peu fragiles...). Les propriétaires, très accueillants, sont immédiatement disponibles pour arranger les petits problèmes qui peuvent survenir.
Si vous aimez vous retrouver dans un tel environnement qui respire la tradition familiale, cette demeure est pour vous et vous ne le regretterez pas.

Fantasy, history, comfort in most perfect spot.
We were a small group for this size house (5 adults) but greatly enjoyed rattling around through wings, and long hallways, exploring this magnificent historic house; very much a fantasy property with pool, gardens, lawns, woods. Kids would've loved this place even on a rainy day, but we loved the privacy for all. We were impressed at how clean everything was, and how responsive and charming the proprietors are (we've had good ones and these were the best yet). The location could not be more perfect; all the major sights (Chambord, Cheverny, Chaumont) are within 15-40 minutes, with several another 20-40 (Chemenceau and the canoeing on the River Cher, mosaics and Pont-Canal of Briare). 3 km from a lovely village, 15 minutes from Bracieux, and 20 minutes to Blois; so "small-medium-larger" are all available. Also just 20 minutes from the Lac-de-Loire recreation area where we rented kyacks (and with prior arrangement, bikes, otherwise one must go to their location in Blois or rent in Bracieux to bike through "royal" woods to Chambord).
We loved every single minute. Definitely a "Don't Miss".

Une maison pleine d'histoire et de trésors
Un petit paradis plein de charme et d'âme au milieu des châteaux de la Loire. Le temps semble s'être arrêté dans la maison. Nous y avons passé de très beaux moments, grâce notamment à l'accueil généreux des propriétaires qui ouvrent grand leurs portes, laissant de nombreuses choses (équipements, jeux, livres) à disposition des locataires, petits et grands. Les enfants ont passé des heures sur le trampoline et dans la piscine ! Le service était très propre même si la maison est ancienne, et les propriétaires très aidants.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette immense demeure pleine de charme cachée dans une grande propriété boisée ; une authentique maison de famille pour des "cousinades" réussies. Beaucoup de ressources sur place : belle piscine bien sécurisée, une grande cour bien ombragée par un chêne monumental pour déjeuner à l'ombre, bac à sable, trampoline et armoire pleine de joujoux pour les enfants, des livres dans tous les recoins de la maison pour les adultes, billard, ping-pong, jeux de société... Ambiance "manoir rustique" mais avec le confort d'un équipement électroménager performant et de belles salles-de-bain. Une adresse à garder !
