Beautiful house and pool in a wonderful quiet location. House was very clean and well equipped, weather was hot while we stayed but fans supplied to keep everyone cool while sleeping. Communication was excellent with owner and housekeeper. Really enjoyed our stay here.

This home was perfect for our family. The host welcomed us warmly with a fire in the beautiful and spacious first floor. The kitchen was well equipped. The host was readily available if we had questions. The house offered a very comfortable winter stay and would certainly be a lovely place in a warmer season.

10.0 / 10.0

House was spacious, clean and well maintained. Outdoor space including pool, table tennis and orchard were all beautiful. Village Boulangerie only 3km away and 10min drive to local supermarket so this was perfect for us - we felt truly in the countryside but had easy access to the town and good transport links to nearby attractions such as chateaus and Futuroscope (theme park). A lovely area to explore!

We stayed for 2 weeks at the start of June, and couldn't have asked for a better base to explore the area. The house is beautiful, and finished to a high standard. The gardens and grounds are lovely, and perfect to explore of an evening. The pool was an added bonus. The wider area is well placed to explore the Loire Valley, the Gite is less than an hour from Tours, Poitiers and Loches; as well as various chateau and other tourist destinations. The local town has supermarkets etc. only 10 minutes away. Benedicte was a kind and generous host, and checked in by text a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We'd definitely stay again if we were in the area.

The house was really comfortable. Plenty of space and we’ll equipped. Great Wi-Fi and everything worked well. The pool was excellent. The vegetable garden provided lovely tomatoes and courgettes. The grounds were lovely. Sitting beside a lake and a wood. The owner was very helpful throughout. Really enjoyable holiday.

Three generations of our family gathered. We had a lovely time relaxing and exploring the area. The gite is well equipped and lots of thoughtful touches were there from toilet paper and kitchen towel to ping pong table and dvds and games for adults and children alike. Highly recommended

We had a lovely week at this villa in Aug 2019. The house was beautiful, the surroundings lovely, and Benedicte and her family were extremely helpful and communication was easy both before and during our stay. Our only disappointment was that we thought the pool was heated as it was listed on the English version of home and away as being so and we had also read a recent review (2018) that said the same. However, the pool is not heated! And for little children (ours are 1 and 6) it was really too cold (12-16 degrees) which was a shame as we really wanted to spend more time in the pool. But all other facilities were as expected and the kids had great fun in the garden and on the trampoline. We would definitely recommend this gite just with the understanding about the pool!

We had a fantastic week at the cottage along with our 10 year old boys. Lots of space inside and outside, awesome swimming pool and weather. We enjoyed visiting nearby towns, ancient fortresses, markets, forests, and went further afield to Poitiers and the wildlife park. We’d highly recommend the cottage to others especially families. One of our favourite activities was picking fresh tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini and parsley from the garden next to the pool. Thankyou Benedicte for a wonderful stay!!

We spent a wonderful week at the Gite, 4 adults and 3 children under 5. The owner and his daughter-in-law were fantastic from the point of booking until we departed, delighting the eldest child by taking her to collect eggs from the chickens. Plenty else to do for the youngsters - a good sized heated pool, trampoline and football pitch amongst other things. The setting is incredibly picturesque and easily found from the local town of Chatelleraut where there is a market on Saturday and Thursday - plenty there to throw on the bbq in the evening. Highlights included trips to the vineyards of Chinon and the castle there, the gardens of Villandry, zoo near Samur and the Chateau de Rivau with its adventures for kids. Thank you Benedicte and all for a wonderful week - a special holiday for our two families!

We spent 2 weeks at the cottage and had a really great time. We felt very comfortable, enjoyed this peaceful place, the pool, the landscape .... From the cottage you can make beautiful trips. Whether hiking, visit castles or a zoo, make a day trip to the seaside... Everything is possible. The owners, who live next door were very charming and friendly. We got honey, tomatoes, zucchini, eggs ... Thanks again for this! Thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable time at the cottage.
