Our stay at Katherine Cottage was absolutely perfect, the cottage is beautiful , inside and out, it is set in a woodland setting ,beside a little river. We have stayed many times in French properties, but none of them can compare with this fabulous place
We stayed in this beautiful cottage for a week and it was blissful. A bubbling river runs along the bottom of the garden and many an hour was spent sitting next to the river, sipping something cool and nodding off to the sound of the water. The host, Katherine and her two wonderful granddaughters were absolutely delightful and nothing was too much trouble. There are stunning castles galore to visit within a short distance and great restaurants too. We will definitely return.
We had a wonderful time at this property. Within walking distance of a small supermarket, boulangerie and restaurants, yet peaceful and completely quiet at night. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. Thank you for hosting us!
The house had such character. I suggest that perhaps the comfy master bedroom easy chairs should be moved into the living room, or new sofas bought. The property is sweet, very private, and Montrésor is a lovely place to spend a holiday.
Nous avons passé le week-end de l'Ascension en famille dans ce charmant gîte au calme. L'espace est confortable et très bien équipé. Nous remercions notre hôte pour son accueil chaleureux et ses conseils de visites.
Lovely property with super friendly helpful host nearby. We were disappointed the local lake was closed for swimming at the time but there were 2 pools in nearby villages.
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille à Montrésor (4 adultes et 2 enfants en bas âge). La maison est charmante entourée de verdure, confortable, très bien équipée, et bien située pour visiter les environs et se reposer (lecture, apéritifs, barbecue..). Katherine a été une hôte chaleureuse et attentionnée, et nous avons même eu le droit à quelques visites du petit Elton ! Merci pour l'accueil !
The gite was very comfortable, well equipped and cool in the exceptional hot weather. It's location is perfect. Calm and peaceful, in extensive grounds with a gentle river flowing nearby. Lots of shady areas to sit and relax but also close to a footpath to the lake at Chemille. Montresor is a picturesque village with an interesting chateau and is about 10 minutes walk away, down a track. Most of all Katherine was the perfect host. So helpful, friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed this holiday home and the location very much. The owner is a very nice person who is happy to share information about the region.
The holiday home fully meets our expectations. The owner has thought about it to have small things present such as dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll, kitchen towel, toilet paper, etc.
A lovely characterful, rustic property in a beautiful location, close to a historic and pretty village. The village had good facilities and was well placed to explore the surrounding area, walking, cycling, visiting towns and villages and various chateaux. The host Katherine was very friendly, informative and kind and was helpful when we had some issues with the wifi. We had a relaxing ten days and the property location was delightful, by a river surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Charming old property in a beautiful and peaceful location.
Comfortable and well provisioned. Stayed cool during hot days. Would love to come back. Easy cycle ride into Montresor, lovely town with great boulangerie and handy mini supermarket. Fantastic area.
Lovely hostess whose English was far better than our French.
Only concern was poor WiFi, essential when holidaying with teenagers.
This is a super gite, set in the most peaceful surroundings. Well equipped, especially appreciated the outdoor seating and eating area. Easy walking distance of village with restaurant, bakery and Proxi supermarket. Katherine, the host, lives in the house next door but we never felt intruded upon. She was such a lovely host, giving us lots of suggestions on where to visit and eat.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette propriété au coeur d'un domaine joliment arboré . Les adultes comme les enfants ont apprécié le calme et la sérénité de ce lieu.
La propriétaire charmante nous a réservé un excellent accueil et ses conseils pour découvrir les environs ont été précieux.
Séjour très agréable en famille. Magnifique maison au bord d'une rivière et dans la forêt. Proche du très joli petit village de Montrésor. Parfait pour se balader dans les environs et faire le zoo de Beauval.
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir, merci pour votre accueil 😀
Très bon séjour dans un cadre très charmant, entouré de nature et à la fois proche du village à pied. La maison est bien équipée, on y trouve tout ce qu’il faut pour séjourner confortablement en famille avec des jeunes enfants. Il y a des petits commerces à proximité et aussi des jolies balades à faire aux environs. La situation est idéale pour visiter les châteaux, le zoo, les plus grandes villes ne sont pas très loin aussi (super centre aquatique à Loches) cette location convient bien si vous aimez le charme des vielles pierres et la nature et que vous souhaitez à la fois du confort et la proximité des commerces et sites touristiques.
Charme, fraîcheur, nature et calme à Montresor, très beau village de Touraine
Un très bon choix l’été pour visiter la région, et profiter d’un cadre bucolique à l’écart des routes fréquentées. La maison est ancienne et fraîche, avec une première très grande chambre. Il faut savoir que pour aller dans la 3ème chambre il faut passer par la 2ème. La propriétaire est très attentionnée, et Nelson est adorable !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison parfaitement rénovée et aménagée dans un endroit très calme et reposant. L'accueil est très agréable. Montresor et sa région offrent de nombreuses ressources touristiques.
Très belle location au calme absolu, dans un écrin de verdure, tout en étant proche des commerces et sites touristiques. On peut faire pas mal de choses à pied sans avoir à prendre la voiture (Montrésor, lac de Chemillé, canoë, vélo, forêt, vestiges romains ...). Ici le temps s'écoule plus lentement et qu'est-ce que ça fait du bien ! La location est impeccable, très bien équipée. Katherine Segalen est charmante et nous a chaleureusement accueillis. Nos filles ont aussi passé des heures à jouer avec Elton, toutou espiègle et attachant. Je recommande vivement cette location qui permet de déconnecter tout en passant de belles journées de visites.

About the host
Hosted by Katherine Segalen
Why they chose this property
La Ronde or l’Héronde, its ancient name, actually consists of 2 houses, one of which is rented out on a weekly basis. In the Middle Ages, la Ronde, is by a small river, was first a mill and then a tannery. La Ronde was beautifully restored by artisans from our region, which use local stones/ building material and traditional techniques. We strived to restore the houses in such a way as to preserve the original layout and architecture of the houses. We do our best to protect the surrounding nature and wildlife. If you’re lucky you may spot a number of birds and maybe a few deer and boars…
