  My wife and I stayed here and it was fantastic. When one thinks of a farmhouse loft in the French countryside, one thinks of a place like this. A beautiful location and so much nearby! Plenty of space to go for walks in the day, easy access to Amboise and the many castles of the Loire Valley. The hosts are very gracious and extremely helpful. The loft is absolutely wonderful--spacious and clean. The amenities were perfect; "normal" plumbing (for an American) and enough media access to get connected the few times we needed to. Just a wonderful place and a wonderful experience. I can't imagine that there's anything better.

  My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in September. Found it a little hard to find but what a treasure when you do! A beautifully furnished and clean apartment/loft, beautiful surroundings - better than the photos. Veronica and Steven were very kind, more than helpful in answering questions/concerns. Loved the delicious fresh tomatoes from the garden which Veronica kindly let us pick, also raspberries, chard and beetroot. It is a little out of the way, about 15 mins from Amboise, but a pleasant drive. Lots to see and do, 4 nights wasn't long enough. Absolutely recommend it!

  My partner and two children, 9 and 11 stayed here for close to a week in July this year. Veronica and Steven were charming, warm and fabulous hosts. It was more than we expected. The French countryside is beautifully picturesque and the farmhouse doesn't disappoint. We loved the openness, the fresh air, the green fields and forests and Adem especially loved climbing the huge weeping tree in the front yard. Veronica's hospitality is as sweet as her raspberries and green plums and we're desperate to go back.Thank-you for a wonderful time, it was perfect and I wished we'd stayed longer in Amboise (a gorgeous village with it's own river and Chateau) and the farmhouse! Till next time xx

  My spouse and in-laws decided to stay here for 2 nights. Steven and Veronica are very nice and willing to provide you with information, maps, gps, and recommendations. The apartment is on the top floor (not exactly an attic) in a farmhouse with loads of sheep, 2 chickens, a horse, and a dog. Keep in mind, the apartment can be difficult to find on the first try and is about 10-15 min from Amboise.

  We just had our first trip to Paris and the countryside and this was THE highlight. The home and property are charming and Veronica and Steven are delightful. The hardest part was leaving to go back to Paris. You should stay here if you if you're visiting the Loire Valley.

  This property was the hi-light of our European trip. Referred by a friend - we loved it. The perfect spot to soak in France and the most beautiful area.

  My husband and I spent a lovely 8 days here. It's easy traveling distance to any of the castles and less than 10 minutes from Amboise. The farmhouse is charming and from the entryway to the apartment you have a lovely view of the french countryside (complete with sheep) and the owners sumptuous garden which they shared with us. The kitchen allowed us to take advantage of both the garden and the nearby markets. Madame and Monsieur were very helpful and went above and beyond in giving us information and even taking care of me when I came down with a cold. It was just lovely!!

  The location of farmhouse is great for anyone who wants to visit the chateaux in the area. Amboise is not too far and we went there repeatedly. It's now one of my favorite places. This loft looks just like it does in the photos. It had everything we needed, and more, (even a sweet dog!) The owners were so helpful: they provided us with lots of information on what was in the area, when were the best times to go places, good restaurants,etc. They left lots of brochures around for us to read. They were also planning to expand the loft to add another bedroom. There is a beautiful ever-expanding flower and vegetable garden in the yard. One of my favorite things to do was listen to the birds in the garden in the morning. It was so relaxing! very different from the honking car horns in the city. The view out the back door was beautiful. Seeing the different green fields made for amazing photographs. It was fun to buy local ingredients and cook a few meals in our kitchen. After a day of sight-seeing, it was nice not to have to go out hunting for a place to eat. We became very fond of the owners and did not want to leave.

  Le Plessis was all as described in the listing and shown in the photos, and even more. The loft was very comfortable for the 3 of us and even with the warm temperatures, the ceiling fans provided plenty of cool relief. We literally had to make ourselves leave the tranquility of the farm to explore the amazing chateaux and other sights nearby. Everything we wanted to visit was within 15 to 30 minutes from Le Plessis, in various directions - so it is nicely centrally located. Veronica had us feeling at home immediately upon our arrival, and continued to provide suggestions for sights to see and places to eat that she felt we would enjoy -and she was right on! Our favorite activities were to either sit out in the shade with some fresh bread, cheese, and wine or stroll through the garden, grazing on the fruits, especially raspberries. We never ate a breakfast or dinner at the loft without finishing it off with the delicious raspberries (so we considered our walk through the garden as exercise with our dessert!). We enjoyed the sweet Tallulah, reminding us of our dogs back home, and the 3 girls clucking about the yard. I highly recommend Le Plessis to anyone that can slow down and enjoy the peace of the French countryside. Our only regret is that we could not have had a longer visit. We'll just have to start planning our next trip!!
