We had a lovely stay at this beautiful location. Patrice is very friendly and the communication fast.The highlight is of course the balcony looking on to the river Cisse. There's also access to a large garden with deck chairs and if you're calm enough you'll might get a visit from a squirrel Other than that the flat offers everything one could need. The kitchen is well-equipped.Molineuf is a calmer village, but Blois is close and easy to reach by car.

The whole property was clean with a limited range of cooking facilities (most people won't cook on holiday). There's a good shower room and washing machine. Guaranteed parking outside the door and off road. There's a private area by the river in the garden with sunbeds and a private balcony off the lounge. There's one restaurant across the road, a limited menu but very good food and service. The property host responded quickly to any questions. A quiet area to relax within a 10 minute drive to large supermarkets and shops.

The location of the balcony overlooking a stream and surrounded by trees and plants is what makes this property special. We had good weather and " lived" on the balcony.The outside of the building and it's environs are lovely. However the inside of the apartment needs to be updated, especially the kitchen and electrical appliances.Patrice and Michele were both very helpful and tried to resolve the various issues which arose.We would not stay there again and I have reservations about recommending it to others.Stayed in July as a couple.

Beautiful, historic location

The property is located in a small village a few miles from Blois and was perfect for our trip to see the chateaus in the Loire Valley. It is set over a stream which was previously an old mill. The sound of the stream was lovely. There is a large private garden accessible. The apartment was large, with tasteful decoration. We really enjoyed our time at the property.

All I can say is, this place was even better than we expected. The pictures looked fantastic so we booked mainly from the description and the photos. It was even better! The living area was huge as well as the bedroom. The kitchen was perfect having everything we needed. It had a nice, modern bathroom with a great shower, plenty of hot water. And, the balcony overlooking the river was amazing. We had a car and perfect place to park near the door in the driveway. Patrice, our host was so nice and helpful. You could tell he took pride in his property. Thank you, Patrice, for such an enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone in the area!!

Ideal Loire

Excellent accommodation in a very unique setting. Easy access to tourist sites along the Loire. Groceries available 10 minutes away in Blois and a restaurant locally across the road. We had to purchase shower soap and condiments for kitchen as not supplied as would be available in a B&B.

Just about Perfect

A terrific property in a beautiful setting, Molineuf is a small village just 15 minutes from Blois, and located in the heart of the Loire Valley. Convenient - less than an hour - from several amazing chateaus. Well equipped and comfortable - perhaps the most comfortable need we've slept on outside or home. I highly recommend.

A complete surprise .. the accommodation was more than we expected. The fittings and furniture suited us completely and the view from the balcony was magnificent. All the well known chateaux were with easy reach. We had a wonderful time. J&T xx

Perfect for 2.

Beautiful gite in a wonderful location. Spacious accommodation for 2. Great balcony for al fresco dining. Outside space aplenty. Adjacent to the Hôtel du Pont - Nice for a drink next to the river but closed Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday! Lovely host, great communication and loads of brochures in the house. Blois about a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend.

Je précise que nous sommes hôte Premium avec une cotation de 9,6 sur 61 avis. Il est regrettable que ce couple agé de plus de 85 ans , à qui par ailleurs nous avons rendu plein de service,(ils étaient complétement perdus dans cette période de déménagement),ait eu ce ressenti sans jamais nous en faire part. Pour mémoire , ils sont quand même restés 4,5 mois dans ce "todis"! Chacun se fera son opinion ....
