Marie is a fantastic host. She met us when we arrived and showed us the property. She gave us a lot of information about things to do in the area. The pool was heated and inviting. The grounds of the property are beautiful. There is a path where you can walk up the hill to a little chapel. Kitchen is well equipped. There are seating areas outside to have your evening wine.

Charming Hosts and a Perfect Loire Valley Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay in this accommodation and would like to thank you very much. Not only was the house great, but the pool and beautiful surroundings made our holiday extra special. We would also like to emphasise the excellent location, which is perfect for excursions to the impressive châteaux on the Loire. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the warm hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts, which went far beyond the great breakfast service. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend this accommodation. Many thanks for an unforgettable time!

Amazing time

The house is wonderfull and the owner (very kind and generous) gave us all the necessary support to make our stay unforgetable. My family and I loved the rich history of the place. Comfortable beds and all the necessary structure for an independent stay. We faced a initial problem with the hot water, promptly solved by the onwer. We will definitevely return and suggest to all of our friends.

Thanks for your nice words! We really enjoyed welcoming your nice family at home, for 2015 year end, in our beautiful Loire Valley: châteaux are wonderful specially decorated for Christmas season, as well as decoration of Tours, smaller towns and stores, food markets are so rich and interesting. All seasons are different, but all are perfect for a stay, and offer large activities for unforgettable holidays: history, wonderful chateaux, outstanding and various gardens, caves to visit and wines to taste, food markets to discover, antiquing; also, in summer, cayaking on the Cher, cycling on” Loire à vélo” tracks, discovering Beauval Zoo and Futuroscope... We always have pleasure sharing our ideas with our guests, suggesting them about the best to do in Loire Valley according time they spend at home, and helping them organizing their stay! We will have great pleasure to welcome you at home again, as well as your friends. Best wishes for 2016!

We had such a lovely time at The Fairy House. It is self-contained and quiet and really like being a fairy tale with a brilliant, beautiful and unique house built into the rock/cave on one side which, as well as being, fun and different, kept it cool in the summer. The pool was brilliant and easy to access and get into and the location was close to Tours, the Cher, the Loire and many, many, many Chateaux. The information at the property for things to do was great and we were able to cook, rest, recuperate and explore brilliantly from there. On top of all of that, we couldn’t hope for a kinder and better host than Marie-Noelle. She was friendly, knowledgable, kind and helpful and made us feel so welcome there for a holiday. We had the best time.

Fond Memories!

Everything about this property is special. The cottage is wonderfully charming, one-of-kind and clean. The property is secure with a fence and driveway gate. Marie is the most welcoming hostess that we have experienced in more than two decades of renting homes! As mentioned in other reviews, the staircase of this home is narrow and steep. This was not a problem for us, but might be difficult for some. We hope to enjoy a longer visit at Marie's property in the future. Thank you, Marie, for everything!

Perfectly wonderful stay in Larcay

The Stay far exceeded our expectations. From the moment I booked it communication was prompt, friendly and clear. Great directions to the property.We were met at property by Marie-Noelle who gave us the tour of the property and many great tips of things to do in the area and an unexpected treat for us in the kitchen.The house was spotless and bright and airy - beautiful stone work, wooden spiral staircase leading up to the spacious bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors each decorated thougthfullynote- the stairs may be difficult for those with mobility issues.Staying here felt like a step back in history. The house has everything you would need for cooking, laundry, and entertainment- with games and the TV.The porch and the heated pool were lovely.There is a path up and around the main house property which was great for a short work out and cool view. While the house was great what touched us most was how wonderful our host was. We are grateful to her for all her thougthfulness and help.

Family Holiday in Larçay

Our stay at Marie-Noëlle's was just perfect. We travelled with our two kids, aged 5 & 2, there was lots of beautiful outdoor space for them to play; plus the trampoline & all-weather pool which was more than we could have hoped for. She was so welcoming & had thought of everything for the kids - even a night light in their bedroom. A short car trip away, we could access everything we needed - boulangerie, supermarché, pharmacy etc. And we were a really short drive to the amazing city of Tours with all it has to offer. Marie-Noëlle helped us plan our time there - she let us know when the loacl food markets were, helped us organise a boat trip on Le Cher etc. Plus knew all the local things for kids: zoo, aquarium, mini-train etc. She even delivered us fresh pastries on our first morning! We had our own space plus designated outdoor area. It was a beautiful oasis of calm & it was a real wrench to leave after a week there. We would highly recommend & hope to return one day soon. Thank you, Marie-Noëlle!!!

Warm welcome but disappointing accommodation.

As mentioned in other reviews the owners are very kind, friendly and helpful, fresh croissant and bread a welcome surprise some mornings. They are obviously very proud of the property and its renovations, but they are completely unaware of how their rental functions for a family. We found the property awkward and disjointed, cold and smelling of damp. The living room does not have enough space or comfy seats to relax in, the dining table is too large and dominates the room. The kitchen is small and basic, the kettle dangerously located on top of the fridge! There is no private outdoor space but a shared garden overlooked by the owners chateau, with the main driveway running through it. The pool is NOT private as listed but shared with other residents, and is a 150 meter walk away. The pool was not cleaned while we were there, with debris at the bottom. The stairs in the house are treacherous. Somewhere to hang clothes in the first floor bedroom would be useful, also the single bed in that room is not suitable to sleep on. Expensive for the accommodation provided.

L’excellence des vacances de nos hôtes (validée 5 étoiles à l'unanimité depuis 14 ans) est mon objectif. Vos commentaires dénigrants, avec de nombreux points faux, m’ont beaucoup peinée : - La maison, conçue avec des caves rafraichissantes, a une température fraiche appréciée. Cet été le choc de température outdoor 36 C° /indoor a pu donner une impression d’humidité ponctuelle - La grande table est appréciée pour les diners et activités familiales. - Vous m’avez confirmé le confort du canapé: nous allons vérifier celui nos 2 nouveaux fauteuils ! - Nos hôtes valident depuis 10 ans que la cuisine est parfaitement équipée et adaptée pour des repas à 5 - La bouilloire en hauteur (sécurité des enfants) est déplaçable! - Salon de jardin sous l’auvent de charme, chaises longues + parasol sur la pelouse sont dédiés à la maison, 100% privatifs - La piscine (à 80 et non 150 m) dans le parc de 2 hectares du château est 100% réservée à nos deux gites :la famille de 3 personnes du 2e gite, souvent en visite, vous a permis une très grande disponibilité - La piscine est chauffée, aspirée, filtrée, nettoyée au quotidien. Un rouleau de papier sopalin tombé dans l'eau a été retiré le lendemain matin : indiquer que la piscine n’était pas nettoyée pendant votre séjour est tout simplement faux! - Les escaliers de la maison sont équipés de rampes sécurisant bien les familles avec enfants qui adorent la « maison de fées » - Il existe bien une penderie pour vêtements au 1er étage et un lit d'ap

Gemütliches Haus in perfekter Lage

Wir haben es genossen, die Touraine von Larcay aus zu erleben. Die Lage nahe bei Tours ist ideal, um die Schlösser und Gärten, Städte und Landschaften im Herzen Frankreichs zu erleben, sei es per Auto oder mit dem Fahrrad. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich, zweckmäßig und schön eingerichtet, und ruhig gelegen. Die Besitzerin ist ausgeprochen freundlich und reagiert auf alles sofort.

Truly Enchanting

My husband’s family is from Tours, and we come almost every year for a visit. This property is definitely one of our favorite that we have ever stayed in. Marie-Noëlle was a gracious host who made us feel very welcome. She was extremely welcoming to our young children who were presented with a pool, a trampoline, pedal cars, a croquet set, as well as other fun items to pass their time. There are two very standout features of this property, one being the location. It it truly less than 10 minutes outside of Tours, but the views change so completely that you feel transported to the countryside. Such an easy trip in and out of town let us be far more relaxed in our daily planning around groceries and meals out. The second feature that really stands this property apart is this sort of troglodyte terrace that can be used for meals, or for sipping wine and watching the sun set. The views of the property, and the surrounding fields from this terrace location feel a bit unreal. Our slow meals at “home” watching the changing colors of the sky were some of the most special of our trip. I will reiterate what other reviewers have said regarding the stairs, they are steep and skinny and I can imagine them being an issue for some visitors, but we were okay with them. We stayed for 10 days and are already looking forward to booking again the next summer we visit Tours.

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans la propriété de Marie-Noëlle et sa famille. La maison est superbement décorée, et tout y a été pensé pour que nous ne manquions de rien. Le jardin est magnifique et bien entretenu... De superbes fleurs ! Nos enfants ont adoré jouer au trampoline et surtout avec les tracteurs à pédales :-) Il faisait bon se rafraîchir à la piscine quand il faisait 30 degrés dehors ! Mention spéciale pour la petite chapelle où nous avons pu renouveller nos voeux de mariage pour nos 15 ans d'Union. Et encore un grand merci à Marie-Noëlle qui nous a accueilli chaleureusement. Elle nous a donné de bons conseils de sorties et d'activités à faire dans la région, et nous a bien gaté aussi :-) Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
