Amazing trip

We have all had an amazing time at this property. Stephanie was fantastic with communication in the run up to our trip, and once we arrived we couldn't have had a better time. The location was ideal and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax and spend time together. I miss it already!

Wunderschönes Haus mit toller Umgebung

Das Haus, bzw. das Haupt- und Gästehaus ist wunderschön, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber, super ausgestattet. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön, man hat seine absolute Ruhe und kann ausgedehnte Spaziergänge in den Wäldern machen. Eine Auto ist Voraussetzung um die tollen Städten, Restaurants und Schlösser zu erkunden. Stephanie ist ein super Gastgeberin, sehr aufmerksam, immer hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Das Haus ist eine absolute Empfehlung!!!

Special Family Holiday

We wanted somewhere special to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with three generations of our family (7 adults and 4 children). Gite des Orfeuilles met and exceeded our expectations. The setting is remote but incredibly tranquil, secluded and beautiful. It is a bit of a trek to the nearest supermarkets but we somehow turned this into an 'event'. Daily bread deliveries are reliable and early - and we discovered that the boulangerie also makes fantastic croissant, pain au chocolate and other goodies. . The gite complex offered everything we needed to be self-contained and fully occupied. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, so the pool was in constant use, but there were plenty of other diversions on offer for our grandchildren (such as boule, tennis, fishing, table tennis and space for the many games we brought with us) - and the separation from neighbours meant we never worried about the noise the kids made. The situation is also perfect for outings to sightsee, canoe and soak up the Loire/Cher region. Stephanie and David are charming, attentive and effective hosts. The arrival chat was friendly, informative and helpful, as were the information book and tourist leaflets in the house. Later in the week minor problems were quickly and effectively resolved without fuss. Checking out was straightforward - and it felt a little like saying goodbye to newly made friends. If this is the sort of break you are looking for, I can't recommend it highly enough; we loved it..

Great family vacation

The property is ideal for families with 2 spacious homes to allow for great family enjoyment. We all enjoyed the large property and especially the pool where the kids spent a lot of their time. You must order the baguettes and the croissants to complete the experience. Stephanie and David are excellent hosts.

Exceptionnel et magique !!

Nous avons séjourné en famille et avec des amis dans la propriété de Stéphanie du 11 au 25 Juillet 2020. Les maisons se trouvent au milieu d'une clairière entourée d'arbres et d'animaux sauvages. Ces dernières sont très confortables et parfaitement équipées. Le domaine de Stéphanie s'étend sur plusieurs hectares ou vous êtes libres de courir, de faire du vélo, de vous balader, de pêcher et de faire du tennis. C'est un véritable paradis pour ceux qui sont en quête de vacances sportives et en contact permanent avec la nature. Stéphanie est très avenante et aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. Les maisons sont d'une grande propreté et la literie excellente. Ici tout n'est que luxe, calme et volupté. Nous y retournerons.......
