We had a fantastic week at Villa Castalie. The kids were in the pool at least 3 times a day! There were 13 of us and I think every one of us wanted to return to stay at the house next year! The house is very well designed and spacious, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need.
Villa Castalie overlooks the Loire River and it is also located just a few minutes’ walk from the pretty Montrichard town centre where you can find plenty of shops to buy everything from fresh baguettes to oat milk.
There is, five minutes’ walk away, a lovely beach area created by the river for kids to swim in and play in the sand. There are also some fun rides and things for kids to do, as well as hire pedalos, canoes and paddle boards. Situated there, is also a lovely cafe that serves great food and drinks.
We did walks along the river and around the towns. There are many lovely walks you can do in this area. There are also many castles and ruins you can visit. There are many activities for kids and adults. Next time we will definitely do the river cruise dinner.
There are several lovely restaurants in Montrichard with the perfect ambience to while away the evening, sipping on fine wine and listening to a live band play. The food is so good, prepare to put on some weight!
Valerie and Remy keep the house in an excellent condition. They are warm, kind and were available when we needed assistance. They also have a vineyard that produces some of the nicest wine we have tasted, and it is organic!
A perfect holiday!
