This was one of the best experiences we've had with a property. The place was even more charming than the photos. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Parking for our car was perfect, right next to the cottage on the property. The place was spotless and so cute. The kitchen was enormous and stocked with everything. But, the outside was heaven..a large yard leading up to a beautiful river. It is heaven and you can't beat the price. We have to figure a way to return to this wonderful spot. Highly recommend it!!

A cosy little cottage with a big and peaceful garden on the riverbank. It has everything that you might need for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed walking to the nearby town for some french pastries for breakfast. Amazing cycling/walking options. Surrounded by nice Chateaus, Wine farms and quaint little towns.

Fairytale Cottage

We stayed 3 nights at the cottage by the L’Indre River and were utterly charmed by the location. The accommodations were perfect for the 2 of us and the host(s) have seemingly thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible! It is quintessential French countryside with all the amenities and attractions nearby. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends and others!

Adorable cottage. Beautiful view of river.

Overall a beautiful little cottage with a quiet and perfect garden yard directly on the river. I was only here one night passing through but would gladly return for a longer retreat. Very close to the village and chateaus.

The accommodations were clean, comfortable, parking was easy and very convenient. Everything needed for our stay was provided. The location is great since it’s close, but not too close, to Azay Le Rideau. The Host was very accommodating as was her Daughter-in-Law who recently moved from the US back to France. She suggested we visit Villandry, despite the fact that we had been there during prior summer visits, because of their Christmas decorations. We are so glad we did. It was the highlight of our short stay in the Loire!

Stunning little gem of a retreat

This was out second visit. The gite is small but perfectly laid out - open plan lounge and kitchen with everything you need and a beautiful mezzanine bedroom and roomy, modern bathroom/wet room ensuite.The garden is breathtaking: wisteria; walled pati; long lawns down to the Indre; trees and birdsong everywhere. Highly recommend and will be back for sure!C'est une petite maison de charactere avec un des meilleurs jardins que j'ai jamais vu! Malgre la pluie, c'etait formidable. Merci beaucoup!

Sweet Cottage in a Beautiful setting

The cottage is very well equipped and in a beautiful setting. The town and nearby Chateau are also really lovely . Birdsong in the garden is amazing one morning I recorded 26 birds in the garden ! One tiny thing if you visit take plenty of insect protection you are very near to the river and in the evening protection is required . We shut the bedroom windows and as it was hot the host kindly provided fans and an air conditioning unit so we slept well and it was not a problem. The host was lovely and very helpful. A fabulous stay .

Property was fantastic in a beautiful location.The enormous garden was magnificent, which led down to the river.The wildlife was amazing.Plenty to see and do in the general area.There is just one caveat we would like to mention.We were greeted by the owner on arrival, but for some reason, we never saw her again, for the whole duration of our twelve day stay - even to say goodbye, on our day of departure.We found this very strange, as the owners only lived across the road from the gite.Oh well, it was still a very enjoyable holiday.

Cute little house and fantastic garden with the river at the bottom.

Really pretty house with all modern conveniences including dishwasher. Good hot water and comfortable bed. The garden is amazingly large and our dog loved it. We had great weather and spent a good deal of time there as it was so peaceful. Kingfishers on the river and frogs jumping.Take binoculars. The area has so much to see but my favorite was the private Chateau just down the road. Also worth a visit is the sunday market at a nearby village/town. Internet worked well here.

Joanne and Frank from the Caribbean

Absolutely gorgeous property. great setting and location. Perfect. Suggestion , as we have a place in the south of France and have just installed a state of the art heat pump, we love it. I would do the same with this property and replace the upstairs new radiator that they have, electric, with a single unit heat pump that is efficient and very cost-effective. We are very happy with the Gitie other than no climate control. Also, check out the coffee maker maybe we weren’t working it right.

We hebben enorm genoten van deze vakantiewoning en de prachtige tuin die uitkomt op de rivier Indre. De plek was nog charmanter dan op de foto's. Een ware oase van rust. Mooie regio, veel kastelen ... De woning ligt aan een rustige straat. Zo goed als geen lichtvervuiling dus veel (vallende) sterren aan de hemel.De gastheren waren vriendelijk, reageerden snel en deden hun best om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Parkeren direct naast het huisje op het terrein. Grote keuken, voorzien van alle gemakken. Ruime badkamer en het tweepersoonsbed had een goede matras. Ondanks mijn rugproblemen heb ik daar geslapen als een roos. Het is een paradijs. Een echte aanrader! We komen sowieso terug.
