Noizay cottages

We had a lovely stay – the chateau and grounds are beautiful – a few steps from the serene River Cher and cycle path; we could borrow bikes and play tennis, table tennis or lounge around the luxurious pool; it is a cool green oasis after a day of sight seeing. There are lovely walks into the forest and around the vineyards. We were able to live an outdoor life here. The lodge building was lovely for us 4 adults – good sized bedrooms with elegant furniture. And outdoor space to sit in – we could read under the trees. The position of the chateau is fantastic – so easy to get onto main roads go on trips to the amazing chateau and towns all around. It is very close to Blere for amenities, shops, restaurants – a calm Loire Valley village – and after all that you can return to the ground of your own chateau! The hosts are lovely, helpful and very thoughtful about details. Check in and check out very easy.

The gite had everything we needed for a comfortable two week holiday in the Loire Valley. Lovely hostess who was attentive but not intrusive. Would certainly consider returning.

The cottage, attached to the owner’s farmhouse, but quiet and private, has been recently renovated to the highest standard. Enormous care has been given to every detail, high-quality appliances and bed linen, lovely furnishings and comfy beds. There is a large, heated, perfectly clean pool right out in front and a large garden where the children can play. The house is a short walk to shops including a great bakery and a 20 minute walk to Amboise with all it has to offer. There are lots of day trips for the family in the surrounding areas - kayaking, visiting the chateaux, the zoo park Beauval, futuroscope etc. Virgins and Jerome are fantastic hosts - available if needed but giving you privacy. There is nothing to fault - we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.

Everything looked exactly the same as the website but i think the small outside seating area could have looked a lot better!!

Cambalu is a lovely, quiet, well equipped property that is well suited to a couple with 2 children - but other combinations would work. A great place for exploring the Loire by car or by bicycle; but also a wonderful place to rest and relax. The owners, Aude and Eric were very welcoming, the pool is lovely too. I strongly recommend this property and would not hesitate to return.
