Parenthèse enchantée

L'impression d'être un petit chatelain du 16ème siècle, pièces magnifiques, décoration très soignée, belle cheminée pour de belles soirées au coin du feu en automne, et jardin ravissant. La communication avec Frédéric permet de tout savoir facilement, nous reviendrons !

Great house, great property

I had the pleasure of staying here for 9 days. The house is great, charming and comfortable. The kitchen is tiny but well appointed. The grounds are fantastic - when the weather is nice this is the nicest place you could be! Fred is a great host who communicates well and is attentive to the little things that come up.

A unique place

This is a beautiful house, quirky and with a lovely garden, shown off in glorious may weather. The kitchen is tiny but functionable. The first floor a complete treat. We had lazy mornings and then trips to the Loire Châteaux in the afternoon, about an hour away, and returning to catch the garden in the evening light. Much fun

A éviter !

J'y ai passé 5 jours. Impossible d'ouvrir les fenêtres l'intérieur sent le renfermé comme on l'imagine et le moisi ! La route avec un traffic tres important de poids lourds est à moins de 10 m ! Pas de chauffage si ce n'est la cheminée ! L'hote envoie constamment des messages... Il me réclame apres 15 jours de lui payer une poelle ! Incroyable ! A éviter merci

Juste une chose à dire : lisez les appréciations des anciens vacanciers. Ce monsieur est d’une mauvaise foi inexplicable. Je suis toujours aux petits soins pour mes locataires. La cuisine était dans un état pitoyable, et que dire d’une poêle à frire inutilisable qu’il s’est chargé de mettre à l’abri des regards et dans m en avertir. Personne à bannir du site. Je vais faire le nécessaire auprès d’Abritel. !

Demeure de charme au calme

Tout proche de Paris (150 kms). Maison de caractère comme un havre de paix. La demeure d’époque (pierre, poutres, mobilier) est très agréable, beaucoup de charme et d’une propreté impeccable. Lieu idéal pour se retrouver en couple et se ressourcer. Tout est là pour passer un agréable moment, vaste jardin, barbecue et rivière au fond du jardin. Frédéric est très accueillant et saura vous guider pour un agréable séjour. Je recommande vivement.

Rustikales, sehr charmantes Haus

Sehr schönes und mit viel Liebe renoviertes altes Haus mit Charme. Gut gepflegter Garten direkt an der Loir (nicht Loire) mit vielen Bäumen. Ideal zum Erholen. Vollständig eingerichtete Küche. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten schnell mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Ca. 2 km von der Nationalstraße N10 entfernt. Gut geeignet z. B. als Startpunkt für Besuche der Schlösser an der Loire. Sehr freundlicher und fürsorglicher Vermieter.
