                                        Este alojamiento está muy bien ubicado para poder hacer la visita de los principales castillos del Loira puesto que el más lejano está a unos 30km. Los propietarios son personas encantadoras y tiene capacidad suficiente para una gran familia. Nosotros éramos 7 y teníamos una habitación libre. Las habitaciones, a excepción de una, son muy amplias. Hay un baño en todas las plantas. La cocina y el salón también son muy grandes. El jardín es precioso. Cerca hay un supermercado donde puedes hacer la compra y cocinar tú mismo. Tienen incluso barbacoa.

                                        Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

                                        Lovely clean chateau which was also very comfortable, Owners were friendly and helpful. Pool and private garden area were lovely with plenty of outdoor furniture. Very close to Amboise (5-10 mins by car) full of restuarants and a beautiful chateau to visit. Would recommend staying here.

                                        Owner response: Nous avons été ravis de faire la connaissance de votre famille et de vos amis tourangeaux. Mon beau Père a été content d’expliquer l’histoire du château ainsi que ses anecdotes historiques à des professeurs internationaux. Si vous repassez en Touraine, surtout : venez nous voir ! A bientôt Mr et Mme de Rosny

                                        Très belle résidence qui correspond totalement à la prestation présentée, le charme en plus. La maison est très bien équipée et nous n'avons manqué de rien. Les petites attentions de bienvenue ont été également très appréciées, tout comme la piscine. Nous étions 7 adultes et nous recommandons chaudement ce gîte.

                                        We stayed at the Chateau for one week in late June 2012. We were two families and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this most beautiful house and region. The Chateau is very large and had enough space for our two young families, it was also a great base to hire bikes and visit all the famous Chateau's and spend time in Amboise. The owners are very welcoming and you feel like you have the place to yourself. The pool and the character of a 16th century building were superb. Keen to come visit again from Australia.

Piscine très appréciée, propre et filtrée au brome (super pour les enfants). Conforme aux descriptions du site internet. Lieu de villégiature à recommander pour tous! Je conseille cette location à tous ceux qui veulent du repos dans un cadre d'excéption. Visites de hauts lieux touristiques à portée de main.

                                        L'accueil chaleureux des propriétaires, ne fut qu'une introduction à un séjour dont les délices sont allés croissants. La propriété est idéalement située, très proche d'Amboise dont l'accès est très rapide et au coeur du parcours des châteaux de la Loire. Après des journées culturelles ou sportives (parcours Loire à vélo à deux pas de la propriété), il est agréable de profiter d'une piscine très accueillante avec de larges espaces de loisirs. La moitié de la propriété est dédiée aux locataires qui bénéficient d'un intérieur très chaleureux alliant authenticité, simplicité et confort moderne. La literie récente, de nombreux sanitaires (4salles d'eau dont deux salles de bain pour 4 chambres!), une cuisine très bien équipée et largement ouverte sur l'extérieur, ce qui est très appréciable pendant cette période d'été. Nous recommandons vivement cette location pour des vacances assurément réussies.

                                        Owner response: Nous étions trés content des bons échanges passés en compagnie de votre chaleureuse famille - Nous vous confirmons que nous aurons cette année un logement de 4 personnes (triplex en succession de mezzanines) dans les communs de la propriété - Cela permettra au grandes familles de venir à 14......A bientôt donc pour d'autres bons moments

                                        We had a very good time at Chateau la Valliere and highly recommend it. My family of seven (including small kids) was comfortably settled in the maison. The house is centuries old but the bathrooms and kitchen are newly renovated and practical. Rooms are spacious and clean. The owners live there (but totally segregated, providing full privacy) and are very kind and helpful. We even learned from the owners that their family has the chateau since 1595, and it also has some history as Madame Maintenont, who later became spouse of Louis XIV, lived there for some years. We were not lucky with the wheather to enjoy the pool (which seems very good, and is safely secluded), but the wide open green area was great for kids playing. The chateau is 5 minutes from Amboise (and some charming restaurants ans stores), and centrally located for other Vale du Loire chateaux. In summary, we had a good time in a comfortable and fun setting for a fair rate. We hope to visit again soon. Highly recommend for large families, kids.

                                        Owner response: We were very happy to receive you and your family, we hope you will come back to enjoy our unique historic environment and the mild climate Tours Mr et Mme de ROSNY
