Holiday in Montgivray
A wonderful property with lots to do for all the family. The property was well equipped. The rooms were all comfortable. You would need a car most days if you wanted to go to the supermarket or boulangerie for example. However we all loved it.

Magnificent
We’ve just got back from a wonderful two weeks. The photos don’t do the house justice! We come to France most years and some in our family have been for 40 years and said this is the best house they’ve stayed in. The room to bathroom ratio is perfect for three families . It’s all cleaned perfectly. The pool is excellent, perfect temp with towels and lounger cushions. The pool table, ping pong table come in handy when weather isn’t great. The little village of Montgivray is idyllic. Each evening we enjoyed various walking routes. It’s just immaculate. Palegie is very sweet and helpful, and just across the street if you have any problems. The house does come with a large list of rules but I think this keeps the house at a nice standard for people to enjoy, and so it doesn’t get damaged or run down and is respected. We will definitely be back, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay!
