Wat een schitterende en unieke locatie is dit, dat begint al als je aan komt rijden, met het chateau op de voorgrond en het doodlopende weggetje dat naar du Moulin gaat. Wij verbleven in de de gite de molenaarswoning, heel volledig ingericht en ontzettend schoon met een mooi eigen terras en tuin. Wat een rust en privacy heb je hier, je hoorde alleen het ruisende water, de vogels en de kikkers.
We hebben mooie fietstochtjes en wandelingen gemaakt. De fietsten mochten we overigens in de schuur zetten. In Azay-sur-Indres zit op loopafstand een prima restaurant (Le Relais) waar we meerdere malen gebruik van hebben gemaakt, heerlijk eten en erg leuke eigenaren, wel van te voren reserveren.
Wij huren al 17 jaar vakantiewoningen in Frankrijk, soms meerdere woningen per vakantie en we proberen altijd iets te vinden dat uniek of karakteristiek is en op een mooie locatie ligt. Ik mag wel zeggen dat deze locatie en woning volledig aan onze verwachtingen voldeed en toch wel tot onze top 3 hoort.

Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt in diesem super eingerichteten Haus. Die Küche war top ausgestattet, das es wirklich Freude machte sich selbst zu verpflegen und die Mahlzeiten im Garten bei Vogelgezwitscher und Froschkonzert einzunehmen. Wir genossen es bei herrlichem Sonnenschein im Garten unter den Bäumen zu liegen. Das Haus und Garten bot viele gemütliche Ecken zum Verweilen. Es gibt in der Umgebung viele Orte zum Entdecken. Wir haben uns total wohlgefühlt und kommen sicher wieder. Sabine und Jean Luc vielen Dank für alles
Merci Mme et Mr Delwarte,
Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Woche, die wir in ihrem sehr ruhigen und gemütlichen Ferienhaus verbringen durften. Wir haben die Ruhe und Gastfreundschaft genossen und uns jedes Mal gefreut, wenn die Katzen oder der Pfau vorbeigekommen sind.
Die kurzen Anfahrtswege z.B. zu den Schlössern Chenonceau und Montresor waren prima. Vielen Dank auch für die Empfehlung des Restaurants La Promenade und vorallem des Naturschwimmbades in Loches. Letzteres hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir zweimal da waren.
Liebe Grüße,
Familie Scholz
Merci Mme et Mr Delwarte,
Merci pour la merveilleuse semaine que nous avons pu passer dans votre maison de vacances très calme et confortable. Nous avons apprécié la tranquillité et l'hospitalité et étions toujours heureux lorsque les chats ou le paon passaient.
Les courts trajets vers les châteaux de Chenonceau et Montrésor, par exemple, étaient formidables. Merci d'avoir recommandé le restaurant La Promenade et surtout la piscine naturelle de Loches. Nous avons tellement aimé ce dernier que nous y sommes allés deux fois.
Salutations,
Famille Scholz

Die zahlreichen schönen Schlösser liegen alle in guter Reichweite.
Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!
