Ratings and reviews
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2024
The property is very much as advertised. The main room is large with high ceilings, full of interesting art, and cool even on hot days. The two bedrooms are upstairs, and the larger one is very big and stunningly painted.
The kitchen is attached and well equipped, and there is a nice covered terrace next to it.
The garden is very large, children can play there for hours.
The swimming pool is ideal for a family, with both a shallow part (90cm?) for the younger ones and a deeper part for more experienced swimmers. The water and pool are kept in good condition.
The whole is located on the outskirts of the pleasant village. Good bakery and small grocery located within walking distance
The hostess Leticia is very kind and welcoming.

Lovely turn of the 20th century building with large grounds and relaxing pool close to local village.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2018
Our family of five really enjoyed our four-night stay at Maison des Arts House, and particularly appreciated the very warm hospitality of Leticia and her son, Alex. We were welcomed to their spacious, clean, and well-appointed home and shown around the absolutely lovely grounds. The pool was a wonderful bonus during the hot summer days. We loved hanging out together with our hosts, conversing over wine and cheese. The only downside was the absence of fans, especially in the upstairs bedrooms, which were stifling hot with the windows closed, and bug magnets with the windows opened. Overall, this was a wonderful base for our exploration of the Loire Valley chateaux. Thank you, Leticia and Alex! We hope to see you again!
