It is a beautiful house in a delightful setting. The owners gave us such a warm welcome and could not have done more to make us feel at home. We had a restful week exploring the wonderful area and the children enjoyed returning back to the lovely garden to play badminton or table tennis.

10.0 / 10.0

This was the most cosy and well equipped house we ever stayed in! So much care was taken to ensure we had everything we needed! Very tastefully renovated in a quiet little hamlet, near many, very beautiful places! We visited lots of them: castles of Ussé, Chinon, Azay, l'Islette, a true gem! A week wasn't long enough! We were only with the 2 of us but if you come with more people, take note that there is only one bedroom with a door and that you have to pass the (very beautiful) open space with 2 beds! The beds are of great quality, the insect screens in al the windows such a thoughtful addition!!! We thank Didier and Patricia for their hospitality and lovely gifts! It was a very hot week, but inside the house it stayed nice and cool!

Well appointed gite in a very quiet hamlet very close to Azay-Le-Rideau. The gite has been well renovated, has a large garden and is very weĺl equipped. The hosts were charming and helpful and although they lived next door, were very unobtrusive yet always available for advice/help. Would be very happy to come back again.

10.0 / 10.0

Patricia and Didier made us very welcome and are clearly proud of the gite they have created and rightly so. We could not fault a thing, spotlessly clean, and the property had everything you could possibly need for a comfy stay, even mozzy coils! We really loved the apple juice made from their own apples, nothing you can buy comes close. The garden is charming, lots of space for lounging, herbs to pick for cooking and we were able to take ripe cherries from their tree. There is plenty to do in the area and some great restaurants. Thank you again Patricia and Didier, we hope to return.

Despite some unseasonal cold and wet weather and suffering from colds caught on the ferry from GB we really enjoyed our 2 weeks at L’Abeille Bleue. What made it so great was the warmth of our hosts Didier and Patricia, a most welcoming and generous couple. Didier was so concerned that we understood how the heating system worked (we really needed it!) that he came in twice to check that we understood it. And we also benefitted greatly from gifts of fruit (peaches, apples, figs) and vegetables from their potager. We went home with a large box of figs for jam picked only a few feet from the back door. The cottage is a few minutes from Azay-le-Rideau and within easy reach of all the main Loire chateaux and other sites. The little settlement of Grand Vaujoint is very peaceful. We managed to sit outside when the sun appeared and could see that the shaded patio and garden would be great in the heat of summer. We walked several times on the small traffic-free roads around the cottage, which are virtually traffic-free. To cap it all we actually saw a blue bee on the wall by the patio!

10.0 / 10.0

We had a truly comfortable and peaceful week long stay here at L'Abeille Bleu. Didier and Patricia are lovely people and excellent hosts, we really appreciated the welcome. They have given much thought to equipping the property with everything you require for a perfect stay. The cottage is set in a rural area of peace and tranquillity, perfect for winding down but is also well placed for visiting the magnificent Chateau's, Vineyards and beautiful countryside in this region. Thank you. Trevor & Sue

Didier and Patricia are two marvellous people who have created a marvellous gîte. Its revealed stone, exposed beams and original floors create a beautiful environment, full of textures and shapes. This is complemented by modern kitchen and bathroom fixtures of the highest quality, and the superb wooden staircase and table in the kitchen. Everything is tasteful and delightful. The house is generously equipped: plenty of cutlery, towels, crockery, pans, chairs. Mosquito nets and blinds protected us effectively from heat and bites! The whole place was spotlessly clean - probably the cleanest gîte we have ever experienced in years of visiting France - and provided with cleaning materials to maintain that standard. Everything was provided to make the stay pleasant, easy and enjoyable. Our hosts gave us a warm welcome on arrival, and also maintained a discrete distance as we lived our parallel lives. The calm of the interior is matched by the peaceful surroundings: an excellent place to relax. Thank you for a superb experience!

Lovely, spacious house that comfortably accommodated five adults. It is extremely well equipped with tea towels, dishwasher tablets etc all provided. We especially enjoyed the outside space, eating out under the sail ok the patio and playing badminton and table tennis in the garden. The helpful owners have thought of everything!

10.0 / 10.0

This was a very comfortable gite. It was very well equipped and had a lovely welcoming feel to the place. The owners are lovely and welcoming. The location is excellent for exploring most of the chateaus. The local villages are beautiful and people are very welcoming.

10.0 / 10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of one week. Hosts are next door and were very welcoming and friendly. Nonetheless, we were totally private. The house is extremely well equipped and lacks nothing. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

10.0 / 10.0

Great and very clean house situated near alot of beautiful Loire castles. The house itself has the comforts you expect and was bigger than it looked in the pictures. Good shower and beds, essential for a good stay with friendly hosts.

10.0 / 10.0

Fabulous property perfectly equipped and in a nice location a short drive from a beautiful village. The hosts Didier and Patricia were really friendly and helpful. They produce their own apple juice which was delicious. The gîte was absolutely beautiful and was missing absolutely nothing, the quality of the decor and fittings were excellent, it had plenty of outdoor space as well which was great given the weather for most of our stay. A big thank you to Didier and Patricia for a fabulous stay.

10.0 / 10.0

This home was immaculate. The owners had thought of everything and all was of the best quality. The refurbishment and decoration had been done in the best taste. Extremely comfortable to return to after a day out cycling. Slept very well aa the beds were so comfortable. Didier and Patricia are a lovely couple. I just wish I spoke enough French to have a longer conversation with them. It was convenient that they were just next door. Highly recommended!
