Family stay in the Loire Valley

We stayed in this house for 5 nights. The property is awesome and as advertised. There is a large yard with all the necessary amenities. The property was clean and well stocked. Many activities are within an hour drive. The property is very quite and secluded, ideal for a get away. The owner was extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely come back.

un charme d'autrefois accueillant et confortable

Nous avons passé 3 soirées idylliques dans une maison qui a du charme, trés propre, bien équipée, bien pensée. quelque soit les pièces, elles sont spacieuses, lumineuses, décorées sobrement avec goût. Literie au top, salle de bains et salle d'eau aussi. Cuisine avec tout ce qu'il faut en équipement et même plus qu'il n'en faut. tout fonctionne, tout est clean. un grand jardin pour les enfants et des coins relaxants pour les grands. elle est bien située par rapport au parc de Beauval, on atteint trés facilement le parking sud et l'entrée. Seul bémol, sa situation en bordure de la rue principale car nous sommes réveillés le matin par le bruit des voitures et des tracteurs car les moissons commencent. mais ce n'est qu'un petit bémol par rapport à tout le reste. Par contre l'ecole à côté n'est pas du tout génante. Franchement, à 10 personnes, on ne se gêne jamais les uns, les autres même dans la cuisine.
