Beautiful properties in quiet village.Great to have a pool and games room. Empty roads would be perfect for exploring by bike. Sam was very helpful and accommodating.
We had a super stay in Prinçay. The spacious gite had all necessities to accommodate 4 grown people. Peaceful and open areas all around the very small town. Nice pool and games room.
The hosts was very friendly and helpful. If we are in the region again we will most certainly stay there again.

Bewertung Ferienwohnung
Das Cottage war sehr ursprünglich und gemütlich, allerdings nicht besonders sauber (Staub, Spinnweben). Dies liegt vielleicht auch an der sehr ländlichen Umgebung (direkt neben einem großen Feld). Die Ausstattung war in Ordnung; insbesondere Teller, Gläser und Besteck waren in mehr als ausreichender Zahl vorhanden. Im Erdgeschoss war es auch bei großer Hitze angenehm kühl, für die Schlafzimmer im Obergeschoss gilt dies bis auf die letzten beiden Nächte auch. Das Gelände ist sehr geräumig, was unsere Kinder zu Ballspielen jeder Art genutzt haben. Sehr angenehm war auch der Pool, den wir oft und gerne genutzt haben. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es - gerade für Kinder - kaum touristische Angebote; sehr schöne Ausflugsziele gibt es dafür, wenn man bereit ist 45-60 Minuten zu fahren. Insgesamt haben wir 2 1/2 entspannende Wochen in unserem Cottage verbracht.
Nous avons quelques jours en juillet dans le gîte de Sam.
Ces 3 jours ont été très agréables, les propriétaires sont très accueillants et chaleureux. Le gite est très bien rénové, très propre et confortable. Le calme de la campagne est très relaxant. Enfin, les enfants ont bien profité de la piscine et de l'espace du jardin avec les balançoires.

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis. Ce fut un grand plaisir de vous rencontrer, vous et votre famille. Merci aussi d'avoir quitté le gîte si impeccablement. Profitez du reste de vos vacances. Cordialement Sam et Mark
We just returned from a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in one of Sam and Mark's beautifully converted cottages.
Sam and Mark were excellent hosts, warmly welcoming and attentive enough to ensure all our needs were catered for but never in way that was intrusive.
The cottage was excellent, newly and very sympathetically restored and converted, with a lovely period feel but clean and modern kitchen and bathrooms. The pool and games room were superb extras and made relaxing at the cottage very enjoyable.
The local area was exactly what we were looking for - incredibly relaxed and very pretty rural surroundings but with a good selections of villages, towns, chateaux, lakes and the Futuroscope park so there was plenty to do when we wanted to be active and explore.
We would highly recommend Sam and Mark as hosts and their cottages as a perfect location for a relaxing break in a beautiful, rural part of France.

About the host
Hosted by Samantha Sowton
Mark and Sam were previously based in the UK employed in architecture and property development. We moved to France in 2017 with our two daughters, Millie and Hattie and bought a derelict former winery which we have totally renovated and converted to create our own home and two spacious gites. We hope to see you soon to share this beautiful part of France with you.
Why they chose this property
After having a few holidays in this area of France we fell in love with it and decided to make it our home, a decision we have not regretted. We have travelled extensively around France but particularly enjoy this region partly due to it's fabulous climate, we have very little rain and more sunshine than most of the rest of France, and the many historic towns and tourist sites we have very locally. The people here have been incredibly warm and welcoming.
What makes this property unique
Our property oozes historic character and features. Both gites have beautiful oak beamed ceilings and limestone walls. All the properties overlook the central courtyard with it's planted wine barrels and lawn. On the other side of the gites is the in ground swimming pool which is fenced for security and large lawns for children to play. We have recently converted the former bread oven or bakery building which is another stunning feature and houses the pool table, football table and darts board. A great holiday destination with something for everyone.
