Petite maison avec beaucoup de charme : intérieur et extérieur Chaque pièce est aménagée avec bp de goût !
Quiétude car aucun vis à vis : face au gîte : champs et forêt
Vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermés !
Aucun souci, correspond en tout point à l'annonce
la nature environnante est appréciable (chevreuils, oiseaux, rapaces, beaux arbres....), l'agencement de la maison est fait avec goût, c'était tout bon pour nous pendant 15 jours et beaucoup de belles visites à faire dans cette région !
La bergerie est un gîte de caractère, plutôt agréable.
Vaisselle très propre, un peu sobre cependant: il serait judicieux d'ajouter une marmite. C'est là le seul bémol.
Jolie maison située dans un cadre superbe au calme en pleine nature, amoureux des espaces verts des petits déjeuner au milieu des champs n'hésitez pas c'est parfait.
Merci à Stéphanie pour son accueil impeccable et sa réactivité immédiate pour toutes questions.
On recommande les yeux fermés!
Charmante petite maison très bien équipé, confortable, et idéalement placé pour une visite des villes et châteaux du domaine de Loches. Nous recommandons cet endroit. Bravo et merci à Stéphanie la propriétaire des lieux.
Tres jolie maison, tres bien aménagée. Belle salle d eau, grandes chambres dans un environnement au calme, ideal pour se reposer.
Cuisine bien équipée.
Petit bémol sur le confort canapé et fauteuil qui sont jolis mais pas confortables du tout.
Le terrain est grand et cela doit etre tres agréable l été de pouvoir manger dehors.
Cette bergerie est un endroit très calme et reposant. La chambre du bas convient parfaitement aux enfants, voire personnes âgées. Les petits pourront s'en donner à coeur joie dans ce grand espace ouvert sur la nature. Une petite ile dans un océan de verdure

Charme et cachet
Nous recommandons ce petit coin de campagne où il fait bon se détendre.
La maisonnette est fonctionnelle, décorée avec goût et très cosy, au beau milieu des champs.
Un lieu où se ressourcer et proche de toutes les attractions de la région.
