Terrific

We had a wonderful time. The villa was as described. It was very clean and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding very good. It was in a lovely setting, with a very nice swimming pool and the main town was not far away, so was very convenient to get to, by car, for gift shops (not many, but a few) and restaurants. You definitely need a car though to get around as everywhere is too far to get to if you walk. We did notice a bus stop within a couple of minutes walk from the villa, so I guess you can get about easily by bus but we never asked about this. The only thing that we were a little disappointed with was that there wasn’t a welcome pack and that would have been very good because we arrived late and had only half an hour to get to the supermarket to buy milk and cold drinks. We would definitely love to stay again although the next time we may fly because the drive is very long from the Euro Tunnel - 6/7 hours.

Accommodation layout a little unusual, but oodles of space and all necessary facilities. Hosts are a delightful and friendly couple who live a short walk away. Any issues were resolved very quickly and plenty of helpful advice and recommendations. Perfect location for visiting the Loire Valley and all the main towns and chateaux.

An amazing place to relax!

The property is quite wonderful. In one of the hottest weeks of the year, we kept cool by dipping in and out of the pool. The garden and patio area are so lovely that we hardly spent any time inside the house, apart from sleeping. We would recommend it for two or three families, rather than four couples because the smallest bedroom and the larger one next to it share a "intimate" access to the bathroom.

Beautiful property with super facilities including parking, small pool, large outside terrace and a very large kitchen and dining area - perfect for large groups but with well designed areas for more privacy (with bedrooms on either side of the property). Laurence and Yannick are delightful hosts and live close by, and sorted out a very minor problem within minutes. The kitchen is well designed and easy to cook meals for a large group. With two bedrooms on either side of the property it is great for two families but the shared bathroom on one side of the upper house means it is better for parents and children to share (no real privacy for two sets of adults to use). The outside space is lovely, and we sat around the pool most afternoons (pool is small but perfect for cooling off). There is a cycle path just up from the house which takes you into nearby Azay which is stunning (around 10-15 minutes on a bike). Would highly recommend the house and would love to return to this beautiful area.

A great place to stay and relax with many beautiful chateaus nearby

We arrived later in the evening than expected so didn’t meet our host until the following morning, but access to the property was easy and straightforward. The directions to the property were easy to follow. The house was clean and well equipped and the pool was wonderful to relax in after a day sightseeing. We were a party of 3 adults in a house for 10 people so we didn’t use all the bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious and there were 3 bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom was cool and easily accessible being in what must have been the original house. However, I think a young family may struggle with the open tread staircase off the living room and up to the first floor bedroom. Again 3 adults so not a problem for us. Laurence our host was able to give recommendations for bike hire, chateaux and restaurants to visit. One other thing to note is the security deposit in cash, euros, to be given on arrival, this was returned in full when we departed, but we then had lots of euros to convert back to our own currency on return.

Excellent!

This is a wonderful property. Very clean, exceptionally well equipped and a perfect location tucked away in a quiet hamlet near Azay. We kept in touch with Laurence on our arrival day, and she came to the property as she lives a few doors away. Having the hosts close by gave us re-assurance in case we had any problems, but we didn’t. There is a large ground floor bedroom with a big en-suite. Above that room there is a huge bedroom with a cot, and two singles and a double. Plenty of room in that upstairs bedroom for a family to share. This upstairs bedroom has the use of a shower room and separate wc downstairs on the hallway. Across the other side of the house on the mezzanine floor there are two bedrooms that share a shower room with wc. These two rooms both had double beds in them. I think we had the option to have one of these rooms set up as a twin, but check that with the owner beforehand in case I’ve got it wrong. The swimming pool is lovely. Nice and warm, and a welcome relief on the hot days. Plenty of sun-loungers. A huge outdoor table and many chairs to seat a large group. The only VERY SMALL issue we had was in relation to the security deposit. We assumed from the wording on the website that it would be by way of a credit card scan, as it spoke about “not levied” and “returned within a week of your departure” but Laurence explained that she couldn’t process a credit card. We therefore had to use cash. Apparently in France cheques are still used a lot, and therefore many of their French guests hand over a cheque (which is not banked) and it is posted back after the property has been checked. As I said, not a major issue, but just to be aware to avoid confusion. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this property- Yannick and Laurence are superb hosts and they have made Squirrels a wonderful retreat in which to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside in a cosy little corner of France. If we return to the area in the future this will be top of our list as a place to stay.

Douceur angevine

Nous avons profité de la douceur angevine, de ses cours d’eau, des châteaux bien sûr , et d’une végétation luxuriante, notamment des très belles roses partout, d’une population amicale. La maison était conforme à nos désirs, avec son extérieur traditionnel et son intérieur contemporain, son beau jardin fleuri et sa piscine.Quelques petits points à corriger, ciseaux qui ne coupent pas à remplacer, micro-ondes à l’ergonomie très confuse nécessite absolument un mode d’emploi clair à défaut d’être remplacé. Globalement, grande satisfaction.

Séjour en Touraine

Très belle région des châteaux de la Loire. Villandry, Langeais, Chinon, Azay le Rideau, le charme ne manque pas. Facile à circuler en vélo. Nous avons eu pluie et neige. Alors nous avons fait quelques visites de caves de producteurs de vin. De très belles tables de restaurant. La semaine ne suffit pas à tous les fréquenter. Le gîte est très agréable et facile. Proche des bois. Piscine non utilisée car novembre, mais en été, sa situation proche de la maison est un atout. Laurence est prévenante, et garantit un séjour dans les meilleures conditions.
