Gite "La Bonne Avena" 3 *** NN 2014

Brilliantly located property, kitted out to a very high standard. Just round the corner from a village centre with Carre-Four supermarket, boulangerie, butchers, and a multi-pool swim centre.

Rene and Nicole very kindly lent us bikes, which we used on the excellent network of local cycle routes. Highlights for the kids were the fortress at Chinon (the ipad-esque "histopads" were excellent - National Trust could learn a thing or two) and the massive troglodyte zoo "BioParc" - worth the 40 minute drive.

We had a great week, and can't recommend the property and the hosts enough.

Gite très complet, très propre et pratique car à la fois au calme (portail électrique) et proche de tout.

La maison est fraîche ce qui est un plus par les temps de canicule de cette semaine.

Bien situé pour visiter la région et les caves.

Et pour finir, accueil très sympathique des propriétaires.

Nous pensons déjà à revenir....

Prima verblijf

The photos really don't do this gite justice. It was spotlessly clean and the private outdoor space was lovely.

The owners were very welcoming and gave good advice on the area, including which of the 3 bakers in walking distance was the best (we tried all 3 but went back to their recommendation).

This gite is on a small one way street (with very little traffic) in the centre of the village. All the facilities including a supermarket are within a few minutes walk. It is only 10/15 mins away from Chinon a beautiful town which has a large hypermarket and a castle - particularly good if you have children (very interactive).

We used this gite as a base to visit many of the Chateaus in the area and it was perfect.

If I was visiting the area again I would stay here.
