Really enjoyed our time here! The house is beautifully decorated and very clean, The views from the pool area were lovely, and it was so nice to have our own private space, The kitchen was well-equipped, which made meal prep easy, It’s a bit remote, but that’s part of its charm, A perfect spot for a family getaway or a quiet retreat!

What a hidden gem! The Former Customs House in Cinais exceeded our expectations, The private pool was perfect for lazy afternoons, and we loved grilling on the terrace under the stars, The house itself was charming and had a cozy feel, making it a great place to unwind after exploring the nearby medieval towns, Highly recommend visiting Château de Chinon, just a short drive away!
The image used on the listing for this property is not the part of the house that you will be renting. It is very tired, with broken garden furniture. The garden is not fully enclosed. It is attached to the owner's property, which may or may not be occupied. (We were told it would not be, yet someone appeared at the end of the week). There is no freezer here, no oven, and the crockery is mainly badly chipped. There are two sets of steep stairs with no handrails, unsuitable for small children or elderly visitors. Worst of all there are no towels, no teatowels, no dishcloths, and bizarrely although the beds have bottom sheets there are no duvet covers at all. We contacted the management company Belvilla for assistance which was useless, the mobile no for the caretaker who did not respond, and the owner whose email was in the folder, (bounced back) and Vrbo about this, none of whom responded. Chinon is a lovely area, the garden delightful and the area very peaceful but stay somewhere else. We felt that the owner was charging way too much for the accommodation and will be asking for a partial refund

Fantastische locatie, met name het buitenleven. Prachtige tuin met een geweldig uitzicht. Veel schaduwplekken te vinden. Heerlijk rustig. Super fijn zwembad voor de afkoeling. Tuin geheel omheind waardoor de honden vrij kunnen rondlopen. Huis blijft ondanks de hoge buitentemperatuur koel door de dikke stenen muren. Keuken had iets beter uitgerust kunnen zijn. We misten vooral een oven. Huis minder geschikt voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn (steile trap naar woning met een paar hoge treden).

Tolle Unterkunft in ursprünglichem Stil (altes Zollhaus). Die Außenanlage ist ein Traum, der Pool und der Garten (der riesen groß und ideal auch zum Auslauf für Hunde ist) sind sehr gut gepflegt. Der Gastgeber ist immer ansprechbar, freundlich und begrüßt mit Wein aus der Region. Ein genialer Ort um abzuschalten und die Ruhe zu genießen.

Det här stället har verkligen en vibe! Den privata poolen? Stort humörlyft, Perfekt för chill dagar och BBQ-kvällar, Dessutom var det ett helt äventyr att utforska närliggande slott som Château de Chinon, Kommer definitivt tillbaka!

Prachtige tuin! Heerlijk zwembad! Gelukkig was het grotere huis wat eraan vast zit, niet bewoond/verhuurd, dus hadden we het rijk en het zwembad alleen voor ons! Wat een rust, heerlijk in the middle of nowhere! Huisje is een beetje klein voor 4 personen, maar de tuin maakt een hoop goed, mits het mooi weer is! We hadden er wel een weekje aan vast willen maken!

Die Ankunft war sehr gut. Der Hausverwalter hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen. Eine Flasche Wein und eine Flasche Wasser standen als Präsent bereit. Die Unterkunft ist traumhaft schön und die Umgebung wunderschön. Gerade die nahe gelegene Stadt Chinon ist ein tolles Ausflugsziel und bietet neben der tollen Kulisse allen Komfort mit seinen Geschäften die man benötigt.

Zeer fijn ontvangst door Jean Marie, fles rosé staat koud in de koelkast ! Wat een heerlijk, smaakvol ingericht, huis op een prachtplek in de Loire. Het geluid van krekels, kabbelend beekje, de prachtige tuin en de luxe van een privé zwembad ! Een heerlijke plek om uit te rusten ! Prima uitvalsbasis voor brocantemarkten, kastelen. Wij mochten voor een week het leven als een god in Frankrijk ervaren !

Grote ontgoocheling. Op het eerste zicht leek alles piccobello, tot we goed en wel geïnstalleerd waren. De tuin en zwembad zijn mooi en proper maar het huis binnen is echt vuil en slecht onderhouden. Ik weet echt niet waarom wij bij ons vertrek, ter plaatse, nog 55 euro moesten betalen voor zogezegd 'het poetsen'!! Benieuwd waar het geld naartoe gaat!

Een fantastisch uitje! De indeling was perfect voor onze groep. We genoten van het ontbijt op het terras en sloten onze dagen af met barbecues onder de sterren. Het nabijgelegen Château de Chinon is zeker een bezoek waard.
