Excellent escape
The property was very nice for our group of 7. Lots of room, a lovely lounge and a big kitchen. Very convenient to the local E.Leclerc for essentials and good access to the rest of the Loire.

perfect family retreat
an amazing property. large in all aspects: the house itself but also the grounds around the house are huge but also very charming.Great size swimming pool and a very cosy “cour” for endless dinners/ barbecue ‘s. The atmosphere in and around the property is very peaceful and made for period movies…… Contact with the owner Sonia is very easy and all our questions were quickly dealt with.We had a wonderful fortnight with the Family.

Beautiful rambling old house in extensive grounds
Lovely old French house in extensive grounds. The place had real character whilst providing modern facilities. Pool was lovely and open sided barn close by was great for eating out in the evenings. The house was so large we didn’t use most of the downstairs rooms!

Lovely stay in a great property
We stayed here as two families with three children aged 3 and under. The house was great with lots of space. The swimming pool, tennis courts, pool table and table tennis table kept us busy and there’s a huge front garden for garden games. The house is well equipped, nicely furnished and very clean and tidy. The host was very responsive and helpful with questions leading up to our trip and the whole experience went very smoothly.
