Lovely, authentic mill in the perfect location for exploring the Loire Valley.
Posted Oct. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayOn arrival at Moulin des Fleuriaux we were delighted with the beauty of its setting. Once inside we found everything we needed, it is well equipped and we very much enjoyed returning there after days visiting Chateaux and places of interest nearby. The weather was mixed during our 10 day stay but we were able to enjoy the outside space on fine evenings and sit around the splendid wood burner inside when it was chilly.
Communication with the owner was excellent before and during our stay.
The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

Sewage from the property discharges directly to the River Indre
Posted Aug. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayThis is a lovely characterful property in an idyllic and tranquil setting. Overall the property is very well appointed.
However, we were concerned and upset to observe that the raw sewage from the property discharged directly to the River Indre.
Pollution of rivers is a global environmental problem, and it was disappointing to see this apparent disregard for the environment.
It was also concerning that guests are not informed about this issue in the guidance notes for the property. We abandoned any thoughts of swimming once we became aware.

Like you, we are sensitive to the environment of this magical place where magnificent flora and fauna evolve. We have alerted the authorities and the town hall to the need to set up a drainage system, but given the mill's very specific location, no technical solution has yet been found. The subject remains topical...
In the meantime, like all our guests, you have received instructions from me to bring organic products (shampoo, laundry soaps, etc.), while we leave environmentally-friendly cleaning products (organic washing-up liquid, household vinegar, etc.) on site.
Given the many fish that hang around the mill or are caught by our guests, I'd like to think that we have a minimal negative impact....

A piece of heaven
Posted Aug. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayThis is our second stay at the Mill. We keep coming back to Monts just to stay here. Our little ones (4 and 6) love playing in the creek and under the willows, letting their imagination run wild. My husband and in-laws took out the kayaks. There are life vests of all sizes, even for the littles. My husband, kids, and I slept on the top floor. My inlaws (in their 70s) stayed on the second floor. Everyone was able to navigate the stairs easily. There were plenty of supplies in the kitchen and we were able to eat in each night, including grilling three nights. There is a grocery store in town and a Carrfour a short drive away. There is also a great bakery. The famous Chateaux are within easy driving distance. We really love this place as an escape from the busy world and the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the French countryside.

Mill on river
Posted Jul. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayLovely house in a wonderful location. Lots of grounds and use of the river was great fun. Rooms comfortable and had everything we need.
The age of the property showed in the plumbing (eg when flushing toilet, water came out of the kitchen plug hole)
Communication from host received information for check-in in good time (instructions were really clear) and was prompt to respond to queries. Would have been nice to have had a check that we had arrived / got in / everything fine.
Overall, really recommend

Hello
thank you for trusting us with part of your vacation. We always know when our guests have arrived as we can see the light of the Fleuriaux mill from the other side of the river. In addition, as the arrival was free, it left you complete flexibility if you wanted to change your arrival time at the last minute. If you'd had the slightest problem, I hope you would have contacted me as you had my phone number, I wouldn't have left you by the side of the road! Kind smiley

Amazing water mill
Posted Jul. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWhat an absolutely amazing property, even better than the photos you are literally in the middle of the river. My family really enjoyed using the kayak, fishing rods and sitting by the water.
The house is perfectly decorated and furnished. Only 2 small improvements that would be great, more pillows and fans for the top floor bedrooms as they got very hot.

Moulin aux fleuriaux
Posted Jun. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayAn absolutely delightful setting, in the River Indre (literally). With sunny weather, the deck is a great place to sit and relax. A wealth of first rate chateaux within easy reach, plus the Montlouis and Vouvray appelations (try Chidaine at Montlouis).
With kind weather, this is an ideal gite, very highly recommended.

Beautiful setting
Posted May 27, 2024 on HomeAwayDespite some mixed weather, we had a lovely week by the river. Lots of wildlife, even caught a glimpse of a red squirrel. The house is well equipped, with a cosy log burner for chilly evenings. Lots to see within an easy drive. There are plenty of guidebooks and maps available in the property for use of guests. This was our second visit and it is perfect for a relaxing stay.

Paradise
Posted Oct. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayThe property is even more beautiful than the pictures. Utterly tranquil and yet very close to all amenities and the beautiful chateaux of the Loire.

Posted Sep. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayA most relaxing stay by the river. A wonderful property, well equipped and the most beautiful location. Near to supermarket and bakery but far enough to feel isolated in a nice way. We didn’t go anywhere the whole week, choosing to enjoy the peaceful nature of this wonderful mill.
We saw kingfisher’s many times a day, deer red squirrels and lots of fish.
We will definitely return.

Highest recommendation for an authentic French experience!
Posted Sep. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayThis 3-story mill-turned-home-rental sits on a beautiful stream and is an easy drive to everywhere in the Loire Valley. Had everything we needed and was even better than described. We had a fabulous experience and a great host with excellent English communication skills.
