Absolutely fabulous!

Valerie and Frederic are such lovely and gracious hosts! The property was better than pictured...quaint, clean and beautifully decorated. The unit is fully equipped down to an apron and cooking condiments, info on all the surrounding chateaux and toys if you have a kiddo. Bottled water was in the fridge and the A/C kept us cool during the unusual hot spell in June. Chateau Chambord is just minutes up the road. A quiet little town but with a cafe and patisserie (both closed Sunday and Monday). Grocery shopping is close by in the next village. We had a fanatic stay. Thank you, Valerie!

Une semaine parfaite chez des hôtes adorables.

Au coeur d'un village calme mais doté des commerces essentiels à quelques dizaines de mètres, le gîte est très confortable, décoré avec goût et d'une propreté impeccable. Qui plus est, on bénéficie de la cour fermée pour stationner la voiture, d'un local pour garer et recharger les vélos, de la salle de jeux et d'un espace extérieur avec terrasse et gazon pour le farniente au calme ou le barbecue. Que demander de plus ? Et bien, le plus c'est l'infinie gentillesse de Valérie et Frédéric, des propriétaires pleins d'attentions et toujours aux petits soins, ceci avec un équilibre parfait entre discrétion, écoute et respect de l'intimité de leurs hôtes. Merci à eux!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette jolie location où on se sent "comme à la maison" ! Accueil très sympathique de la propriétaire d'abord puis séjour de 3 jours dans l'appartement où tout est impeccable, joli, et où rien ne manque pour passer un bon séjour. Il est, de plus, très bien situé pour visiter toutes les merveilles historiques du lieu : Chambord, Cheverny, Chaumont-sur-Loire...entre autres !

Châteaux à l'agréable

Nous (famille allemande) avons passé 4 jours dans cet appartement de charme avec 3 adultes. Rien ne manquait, on était charmé par l'appartement, le petit jardin et surtout le "table tennis" au "grenier-jeux". Certainement à recommender, aussi parce que le Château de Chamborg est accessible facilement par une piste cyclable.
