Very comfortable and very central to a lot of places of interest. Bed very comfortable. Although she lives next door we were given privacy. The pool was great to cool down in when it got really hot. Would recommend it.
This property was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and in an attractive and peaceful area. The swimming pool was at the perfect temperature, very clean with attractive flower beds. Several chateaux are within easy reach. We visited Villandry and Azay le Rideau which were interesting and with beautiful gardens. It was nice to have a private garden with loungers, table and chairs. Amelie was readily contactable by email and phone. The dogs are very friendly but one does come into the garden so, if you really don't like dogs, it may not be for you. We loved it, thought it good value for money, and may book again.
A lovely conversion of an old building, next door to the hostess, but private nonetheless. We found it comfortable for a short break, and the main room felt quite spacious, but the bathroom is off the kitchen, at the opposite end of the property to the bedroom: there are two of steep steps between the living room and kitchen and another into the bathroom. The property was very difficult to find, some distance from the main village, towards the end of a long road, but our hostess, who is lovely, came out to greet us and show us around. The village itself had little to offer, but there are plenty of places to visit nearby. We spent some time in Loches and visited the Chateau de Brézé, which is truly astonishing.

Comfortable, well equipped property
We enjoyed our stay in the Loire Valley. Amelie was very friendly and welcoming. The property was situated in a great area, away from it all in the wonderful French countryside. The gite itself was compact and not as large as the website photos lead us to believe. It is a one storey apartment, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. The bedroom had a queen and 2 single beds but would have been quite claustrophobic for 4 people in our opinion. The private garden was good although in need of some TLC gardeningwise. The shared pool was excellent although we had to ask for a key to the gate to use it. The River Loire and village of Brehemont is just 2.5 km away, a comfortable 20 minute walk through the fields. There was a Boulangerie (excellent bread and cakes) and a hotel/bar (funny opening hours) and fish restaurant (recommended but book first) along with the obligatory church. All alongside the river with views. Lots of interesting places to visit and all within an hour or so drive. If you are a cyclist it's ideal with many designated cycleways and quiet roads

En effet, un gîte de 50 mètre carré n'est en aucun cas un vaste loft et il est bien indiqué qu'il n'y a qu'une seule chambre... ce qui pour certaines familles est très apprécié pour le temps des vacances. Le jardin, est en effet peu fleurit cette année puisque nous manquons de pluie depuis la mi-juin.... En ce qui concerne la piscine, elle est en effet fermée à clé (clé disponible) par mesure de sécurité pour les enfants.
Gîte bien placé pour visiter les châteaux en vélos,se balader,se reposer.
La propriétaire loge à côté mais alors en toute discrétion.
Bref un agréable séjour.
Très Bon Accueil hôte à l'écoute. Tranquillité, situation géographique idéale pour un séjour agrable
Bien situé, tout y est ! calme, campagne, les animaux. La disponibilité de l'hôte. Bien entretenue, bien équipée. Possibilité de faire de la marche de visiter les châteaux. La piscine l'été. Reste à profiter
Nous avons énormément apprécié notre séjour chez Amélie. Nous la remercions pour son accueil chaleureux et sa disponibilité! La propriété est superbe et très bien située. Le gîte est parfait pour une famille, il y a tout ce qu’il faut y compris pour les bébés! Amélie a été très arrangeante et compréhensive! Nous la remercions infiniment et n’hésiterons pas à revenir!
Cette petite maison nous a accueillis pour trois jours . C’est un havre de calme parfait pour des balades au bord de l’eau. Sa situation géographique permet de rejoindre rapidement les châteaux d’Azay-le-Rideau ou Villandry par exemple.
La gentillesse de la propriétaire est à l’image de sa propriété.
Parfait !
Gîte bien situé pour faire de ballades en vélo, et pour visiter la région. Dans le calme et tout de même près de tout.
Tout ce qu'il faut pour un confort idéale. Bonne literie. Idéale pour un couple.
Hôte sympa et discrète. Une adresse à recommandée.
Bien sûr, il faut aimer ou adorer l'air, le vert, les fleurs, les oiseaux, les balades en bord de fleuve et la tranquillité. Alors, c'est une halte idyllique en bord de Loire, à 5 km de la gare de Langeais qui permet des itinéraires à vélo variés et parfois somptueux, dans un sens comme dans l'autre. Et beaucoup de belles architectures dans les environs. Accueil, confort, literie, jardin fleuri, rien n'a manqué.
