This non-smoking gite offers top-of-the-range services for the most demanding costumers interested in French tradition and heritage.

A beautiful house, situated in a wonderful area. Breathtaking views and plenty of interesting places to explore. The house is spacious and tastefully furnished. The photos on the website do not fully capture its charm or its size, which is much larger than it appears. An ideal place for two generations, or even three, as we spent an unforgettable first holiday there with our five-month-old granddaughter.And most importantly, the hosts. A lovely couple who looked after us from the very first day. Claude and Francine, thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for sharing the history of your beautiful estate with us. A bottle of wine from your vineyard is waiting for a special occasion.

We had an excellent stay at this charming and sophisticated property. As other reviewers have noted, the location is fabulous for exploring the area of the Loire near Amboise. The house is a beautifully renovated historic outbuilding on a large estate; the property was very well equipped with thoughtful attention given to every detail. But most importantly, the owners are exceptional hosts, and they went "over and above" to ensure that we had a satisfying and comfortable stay. We highly recommend this lovely home in a stunning location.

Wonderful stay in a luxurious beautiful property. Very well equipped As others have said, the photos don’t do it justice. Francine and Claude are so charming and welcoming, always available if needed. We loved the tomatoes from the garden, the flowers and jam, thank you Jacky! And of course the wine.

Loire at its Finest

I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay in the Loire for a family of 4. The house is a perfect mix historic but with modern updates. Very comfortable and well appointed. The design decisions were thoughtfully made. Beautiful windows and doors and amazing views. Claude and Francine were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. It was the highlight of our trip to France.

A Haven in the Loire Valley

Clos de Venise is a truly lovely place to stay in the glorious Loire Valley. The house is warm - very important in December - very comfortable, beautifully appointed and located in a fabulous location. Claude and Francine are tremendous hosts - warm, friendly, welcoming and keen to help us enjoy our holiday. We spent a happy relaxing time here and visited a few of the enchanting Chateaus in the region.

Week in Noizay with friends and family

The property was ideal for our trip - bigger than it appears on the photos, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden was a delightful place to relax and our hosts were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive. The location of the property was excellent with two restaurants and a small shop within walking distance. There is also lots to discover in the wider area - gardens, chateaux, markets and restaurants....

Sejour merveilleux dans la Loire

If it had been possible to stay longer, then this would have been great. It is the best holiday location ever. The place was impeccable, very friendly welcome, accessible yet respectful of our privacy. Fresh vegetables from the garden, even suggestions for recipes and it was just delightful! And great views from the house and garden unto the valley!

Historic property

It was a privilege to stay at the clos. The property is a beautifully managed winery and the hosts are very warm and welcoming. They live on the estate and graciously share their knowlege. Our only suggestions would be some fans or dehumidifier for use when it is very hot. While the home stays cool if the doors are closed, it also gets damp since it is stone. Many thanks to Claude and Francine for their hospitality.

A wonderful week

A beautiful home in a great location, made even better by the hosts who did everything they could to welcome us, including going out of their way to fit stair gates for our toddlers. The pictures don’t do the place justice as little things like top quality appliances really set it apart from other properties we have stayed at.

We stayed here in the beginning July and at arrival were greeted by the very frendly hosts. As we entered the accomodation we noticed that the house is even more beautiful than expected from the pictures: spatious, beutifully renovated and furnished. We enjoyed every morning breakfast outside on the terras and every evening also with some wine and snacks. What a vacation! We will definitely return...

Very high quality of fixtures and fittings in a splendid barn conversion - absolutely delightful! The location is splendid, surrounded by vineyards which you can walk around, and a delightful garden. Very handy for exploration of the Loire Valley, its towns and chateaux, and of course wineries. The hosts, Francine and Claude, could not be more friendly and welcoming. Usually living in the main house next door, they were away for much of the time that we stayed, but support is available if needed - we didn’t. There are a few internal steps to the ground-floor bedroom, so may not suit from an accessibility point of view if that were an issue. Otherwise - perfect. And the wine from surrounding vines is superb!

Lovely vineyard house close to Vouvray

This is a brilliant property. It’s an old vineyard house, stylishly converted and very well equipped. The description and photos are accurate. There is a lovely garden in front with chairs and loungers, which sadly we were unable to use because of the persistent rain. Claude and Francine are the best of hosts, welcoming, friendly but discreet. All in all, a great choice for a week in the Loire Valley

Luxury gite in the vineyards

This lovely property completely lived up to expectation and was even bigger upstairs than the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the garden and view (shady when needed) especially the birds, including redstarts and barn owls. The village is very handy and we made good use of the grocery shop (fresh bread) and the cafe which was excellent value for morning coffee or traditional lunch. Many places to visit nearby whether by bike or in the car, however we were quite content to enjoy the surroundings from the garden. Thank you.

Great property in the heart of the Loire Valley

We had a short (too short) one week stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing, in the middle of the vineyards. The property was very tastefully restored, and the inside is mixing touches of the past and many contemporary upgrades. Yet, it is just minutes away from the charming flare of Amboise, and from the bustling Tours. Well located if one wants to go to Chambord (1 hour drive), or Chenonceau (30 minutes). The owners are very friendly, and ready to help and provide some recommendations. We had a lovely time. Definitely a place to come back to.
