Amazing trip

We have all had an amazing time at this property. Stephanie was fantastic with communication in the run up to our trip, and once we arrived we couldn't have had a better time. The location was ideal and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax and spend time together. I miss it already!

Wunderschönes Haus mit toller Umgebung

Das Haus, bzw. das Haupt- und Gästehaus ist wunderschön, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber, super ausgestattet. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön, man hat seine absolute Ruhe und kann ausgedehnte Spaziergänge in den Wäldern machen. Eine Auto ist Voraussetzung um die tollen Städten, Restaurants und Schlösser zu erkunden. Stephanie ist ein super Gastgeberin, sehr aufmerksam, immer hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Das Haus ist eine absolute Empfehlung!!!

Special Family Holiday

We wanted somewhere special to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with three generations of our family (7 adults and 4 children). Gite des Orfeuilles met and exceeded our expectations. The setting is remote but incredibly tranquil, secluded and beautiful. It is a bit of a trek to the nearest supermarkets but we somehow turned this into an 'event'. Daily bread deliveries are reliable and early - and we discovered that the boulangerie also makes fantastic croissant, pain au chocolate and other goodies. . The gite complex offered everything we needed to be self-contained and fully occupied. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, so the pool was in constant use, but there were plenty of other diversions on offer for our grandchildren (such as boule, tennis, fishing, table tennis and space for the many games we brought with us) - and the separation from neighbours meant we never worried about the noise the kids made. The situation is also perfect for outings to sightsee, canoe and soak up the Loire/Cher region. Stephanie and David are charming, attentive and effective hosts. The arrival chat was friendly, informative and helpful, as were the information book and tourist leaflets in the house. Later in the week minor problems were quickly and effectively resolved without fuss. Checking out was straightforward - and it felt a little like saying goodbye to newly made friends. If this is the sort of break you are looking for, I can't recommend it highly enough; we loved it..

The property is ideal for families with 2 spacious homes to allow for great family enjoyment. We all enjoyed the large property and especially the pool where the kids spent a lot of their time.

We live on site, 1 km apart and others of our two rentals. We restored these buildings as
early as 2005, and decided to share this extraordinary environment with others.

Why they chose this property

We left Belgium in 1991. Our family bought this large property of 700 ha in 1988. David is a farmer, and he restored all these houses. Stéphanie loves contact with customers, and manages the gîtes (Gîte des Orfeuilles, Chateau de Bizard and Maison du Cerf). Together we do our best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

What makes this property unique

quiet, space, nature, large houses of all comforts, private pool at each Gite, outdoor and heated from June 1st.
