Nature et Calme

Très beau gîte confortable et particulièrement spacieux.Endroit magnifique et super bien entretenu.Calme au milieu des champs.Idéalement situé pour visiter la région.A recommander !Seul bémol, il faut bien lire l' annonce en ligne, car il y a des suppléments inattendus et le switch entre Abritel et Poplidays et ses messages incompréhensibles.

Bonne adresse pour semaine au calme à la campagne

Descriptif globalement conforme à l'annonce. Gîte spacieux, propre, idéal pour les familles avec les jeunes enfants (3 et 5 ans nous concernant) qui apprécieront nourrir les ânes et jouer aux jeux de société mis à disposition. La cheminée est fonctionnelle et apporte du charme au séjour. La literie est de qualité. Un supplément pour le chauffage devrait toutefois apparaître plus clairement au moment de la réservation. La précision figurait bien dans la documentation transmise post réservation. Les hôtes sont accueillants et serviables. C'est une belle adresse à conserver pour visiter les divers châteaux de la Loire aux alentours.
