Très bel endroit, chambre et salle de bains impeccable. Bon accueil, petit-déjeuner super. Merci Nathalie

We have had another wonderful experience at Dawn and John's stunning gite. Everything was immaculately clean and Dawn welcomed us with a gorgeous basket and a very warm welcome. We loved the area especially the gardens in Descartes and the Ethni caves within walking distance. We would definitely recommend this place to stay in if you are visiting the area. Only wish we had booked longer.

This gite is the perfect AirBnB, Dawn and John are fantastic hosts who are always there if you have any questions but give you plenty of space and privacy to get on with your own thing. They have thought of everthing in the gite, there is a beautiful Welcome Box with some cupboard essentials and a bottle of wine, a very well thought out information book with everything you need to know about the gite, property and local area. The gite is beautiful and well proportioned and the local area has lots of markets and places to visit. This place comes highly recommended. I was on holiday with my mother for a week and it was her first AirBnB experience and she is totally converted, I don't think she will ever stay in a hotel again!!

We had a really lovely relaxing week in this beautiful old farmhouse gite. It is peaceful and beautifully equipped for couples or a family. Dawn and John were very kind and generous hosts - always unobtrusively anticipating our needs. Much appreciated by us. We enjoyed dips in the river from the garden, a little trip rowing down the river, and some tasty barbecues in the courtyard. We shall hope to return one day and recommend to anyone who loves rural France.

We had everything to be very happy! The house is very cosy and clean. The people are nice and gently. An adress to remember!!! Peter and Carine

We had the most enjoyable stay at Dawn and John's cosy house. We really appreciated their very helpful yet very discreet attitude! The house has everything you need to really feel at home. Il you are staying there with kids, don't miss Descartes Boylesves public garden (a 5-10 mn drive) which has a little animal farm for kids! Also, the Boulangerie d'Azeling in Descartes is an excellent one (and we're from Paris, so we're used to good bakeries :-)) Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans cette jolie maison où nous nous sommes sentis chez nous. Dawn et John sont des hôtes charmants, très disponibles, mais aussi très discrets et respectueux. Nous n'hésiterons pas à revenir.

Hard to summarize how much we enjoyed Dawn and John's gite. Staying here was a highlight of our month in France. We only stayed a few days, but we wished we had stayed longer, or never left! There's so much to enjoy just on the property itself and Dawn and John are a pleasure to get to know. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem of a place. So much space for us all and sparkling clean. Welcome pack was a neat surprise and eagerly devoured by us after a long day on the road. Such a beautiful location, a huge lawned area near the river,and only a short drive to the various châteaus in the area. Thanks to Dawn and John for being such wonderful hosts.

Dawn was an ideal host, and we felt very welcome. The welcome pack was a delight and much appreciated. The property was in tip top condition and beautifully equipped, in an interesting village in a lovely area. One of the best gites we have stayed in.

Marie is a very kind and friendly person and she welcomed us into her home. The Gite was very comfortable and clean, Marie provided all we needed for an enjoyable stay in the Loire including lots of information about the area. We look forward to returning. Paul, Maggie, Niall & Esmé Marshall

We had a lovely three night stay with Marie. Despite the language barrier she made sure we had everything we needed and even arranged for us to have some local cheese and wine. Location was easy to find and area was pretty. Very clean house, nicely decorated. Wi-Fi was spotty. Beds were comfortable. A lovely stay. Merci Marie!

Marie has the most charming little farm and the house was so much bigger than we expected. It was a perfect location for exploring the Loire valley and all its treasures, wineries and châteaus. We were free to explore her farm, pat the sheep and pick juicy plums from the trees. She greeted us with local goats cheese, honey and wine which were all delicious. We hope to return one day.

We had a wonderful stay at Marie's farm. The house is spacious and well-equipped, and the surrounding yard and outdoor eating area (a converted barn) were perfect for our two families to relax, play, eat, and drink. We visited a couple of nearby châteaux, but the farm itself was the highlight of our trip -- the lilacs were in full bloom, the night sky blazed with stars, and the wine and conviviality flowed freely. An exceptional spot for a bucolic getaway.

Marie was very nice. The house is large and clean located in a lovely farm.

Très bon accueil dans un environnement paisible et calme. Accepte les animaux, un vrai soulagement. Merci de votre accueil.

La maison de Marie est un havre de paix dans un écrin de verdure. Tout le confort permet de profiter pleinement de la campagne. Nos enfants ont adore le contact avec moutons et poules et Marie était toujours a notre écoute. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir.

Nous étions 7 et le gîte était très agréable et conforme à l'annonce, un lieu agréable et reposant. Le gîte est en rase campagne mais à moins d'une heure de beaucoup de jolis sites à visiter. On a bien été accueilli par notre hôte malgré notre arrivée en retard. Le seul petit bémol fut qu'il n'y a pas de machine à laver sur place ni de laverie aux alentours

Anne was a great host! Her property is lovely, and just like the pictures. The town is cute, and there are good boulangeries nearby. She also made a good local restaurant recommendation. She had basic food stuffs in the refrigerator, and a nice little welcoming gift with some local treats for us when we arrived. The gite is charmingly decorated and extremely comfortable. The swimming pool was clean and inviting and we used it many times. We had plenty of room to spread out for our family of 4, and easily could have had two more with us. Wonderful location for exploring the Loire Valley. We had a great day trip to Chinon, and another to the beautiful gardens of Villandry. Highly recommended, we would return to La Vigenna in a heart beat!

This was by far the most beautiful and restful place that we stayed in during our almost 4 weeks in France and Spain. The historic building has been beautifully renovated and decorated by our host. She has created an oasis in the Loire Valley. Les Ormes is a good central location for visiting various chateaux and villages. The town itself is small and not noteworthy, however the house is located on a main road and easy to access both north and south routes. Parking was in an enclosed and secure space. We highly recommend this home.

Great accommodation! The place was so well equipped and everything you'd want/ think of has been provided. We cooked quite a number of times there and didn't find anything lacking. The place was so comfortable for the 4 of us with enough room for all of us to spend time in the variety of spaces available (lounge, dining area/kitchen, patio, by the pool), whether together or alone. Each room was spacious and beautifully furnished and looks much better in real life than the photos. We had such a comfortable, relaxing stay, with fantastic sleep on the comfortable beds. The hosts (Anne and Victor) were both such obliging, helpful and lovely people. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we're back in the area. The boulangerie just opposite topped everything off nicely as we made our daily walk there to get freshly baked delicious croissants, baguettes and various patisseries....yum! Good luck to you, Anne and Victor! You both deserve every success with the amount of effort, attention to detail and hard work you've put into the amazing property! Don't hesitate to rent this place, you won't regret it!

We had a brilliant stay, the accommodation is stunning, with great facilities and fab hosts. There is everything you could possibly need. An amazing visit and we would love to visit again.

What a marvellous place to stay! We had three wonderful nights at La Vigenna with friends of ours - two families in one lovely space that is both well appointed and enchantingly pretty. Anne is charming, helpful and calm. From here, we were easily able to explore the delights of the Loire. Very highly recommended.

Anne was friendly and warm, her home was beautifully decorated and spotless, even better than the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped and even have a dishwasher. A convenient location to stay whilst en route to Bordeaux, will definitely come back!

Great stay at this beautiful home, we loved every bit of it. We had one small hiccup with the Internet not working but the hosts did everything they could to try and get it fixed for us and even let my father sit in their living room and use their wifi. Overall a great experience that we recommend to everyone. Oh yes, we also had a great dinner based on our hosts recommendation that was a highlight of our two weeks in France. Ask for their recommendations.

We only stayed for 24h but we really enjoyed the place. Its location is rather hidden (as in unnoted) and in order to enter the place a big door has to be opened for you. On the inside it is a little paradise with a spacious apartment, a beautiful garden and a very nice swimming pool! The only comment I have to make is the insufficient speed of the internet, apparently this is due to the general lack of speed that comes with internet in the countryside. I recommend this place!

We really enjoyed our stay in this peaceful village and its surroundings. Charming house, great garden to relax in, eat outdoors etc..... and lovely neighbours.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious house and its lovely garden. Perfect for large families and children of all ages. Great central location to explore the Loire valley. Thanks Christopher!

Charming house in the countryside to spend a good moment with family. Wonderful garden for children.

Incredible place, really resourcing. And Christopher although didn't meet made sure we were very welcome.

Super séjour !

Une très grande maison charmante dans un village avec un immense jardin. C'est un lieu idéal pour séjourner en famille et se reposer. Merci.

Maison spacieuse très agréable pleine de charme avec un joli jardin au calme à la campagne. Cerise sur la gâteau une cheminée pour faire un bon feu les jours de grand froid ! Accueil par la voisine de Christopher très agréable.

Logement parfaitement en accord avec la description, petit coin très sympathique pour découvrir la Touraine et ses châteaux des environs. Beau et grand jardin pour profiter du soleil quand il est fait soleil. Je recommande vivement !!

An excellent location and beautiful house with all amenities. We had great time and would highly recommend the place to anyone who wants a relaxed brake.

We spent a magic moment on that secret paradise. Lee, thanks for your kindness and congratulation for the wonderful work you've done on the house! Perfect location, couldn't ask for a better place..

This charming house is situated in the most perfect and idyllic location for exploring the Loire Valley, within a quaint village location directly upon the river - Indre et Loire. The house was presented in a very good order, clean with all the facilities you could ever need to enjoy your stay. And the added bonus of being dog friendly - we don't like leaving our cheeky fella at home! Lee was the most perfect host, with great communication which made us feel comfortable from the time we booked. What an amazing time we had - we're all chateau'd out!

This is a lovely house, with bags of character, plenty of space, beautifully clean and with all the amenities we needed. We were well looked after by Andrew and enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is that it was quite cold downstairs during periods when it wasn't practical to start a fire. However, I would definitely recommend. Thank you

What a fantastic house this is. Comfortable, impeccably styled, and spacious. In a spell of very hot weather, the downstairs of the house was cool and airy, and the addition of a fan upstairs made sleeping much more pleasant. The beds were comfy to perfection and the bathroom was deliciously tempting for a relaxing soak. The kitchen was brilliantly equipped and everything was spotless. This would be such an ideal place for two couples looking for a week of relaxation in this beautiful part of the world. I'm not going to lie, we loved the fact there was UK TV, made a massive difference when you've got kids! Plus, the internet was super reliable which meant we could work when we needed to. La Guerche is super quiet in early June, for the first two days we saw nobody! It's a beautiful village and the surrounding roads are lovely to drive/walk around. We even saw a beaver in one of the neighbouring streams. We enjoyed visiting Roche de Pousay for its lovely town square, and the Sunday market at Descartes was brilliant and really lively. Barrou, just down the road, also has a little square and nice shady cafe. Being able to bring our dog was perfect for us, and they layout made it easy to keep him away from upstairs, so thanks to Lee for making that possible.

As usual, we had a wonderful time in your house Lee, we feel right at home on arrival. We love swimming in the river and soaking up the sunshine on the deck. The people in the village are very sweet. Lee is a great host, he makes sure that everything is perfect for us, excellent communication. That house is a paradise! Thank you Lee, see you soon! Comme d'habitude, nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances dans votre maison Lee, on se sent chez nous dès l'arrivée! On aime aller nager dans la rivière et se reposer sur la terrasse. Les gens du village sont très accueillants et si vous êtes débrouillards, vous trouverez où aller chercher les œufs frais pour le matin! Lee est un hôte parfait, soucieux de notre bien être, excellente communication! Cette maison est un vrai petit paradis! Merci Lee, à bientôt!

La maison porte bien son nom : restaurée avec gout, elle a un charme fou ! Confortable, bien équipée, draps et linge de toilette fournis (les lits étaient faits à notre arrivée !). La Guerche est un petit village très calme, qui permet de rayonner vers plusieurs châteaux (Villandry, Chenonceau, Amboise, Azay le Rideau...) mais aussi vers le Futuroscope. Bien que non présent sur place, Lee a été un hôte disponible attentionné et reactif par email. A recommander !

Superbe propriété rénovée avec un goût exquis , bien équipée . Mais problème : WIFI en panne , impossible de communiquer par mails ni de travailler à distance ; pas de réseau téléphone , que faire en cas d'urgence ? (112 pas accessible) , il faut se rendre sur la place de la Mairie pour capter ( à 300 m …) . Nous avons dû joindre le contact local , qui s'est déplacé 3 jours plus tard et ne s'exprime pas en français …Aucune traduction du dossier d'accueil (mode d'emploi ). Un conseil : une maîtrise parfaite de l'anglais s'impose donc afin de profiter pleinement du lieu .Cette résidence s'adresse plus particulièrement à des touristes anglais .

We enjoyed our stay at Ali's place where we had one of the three houses that make up the large building at the property. While it was a simple dwelling, it was ideal for a family of six. The real highlight of the place is the huge garden and the swimming pool. At this time of year the garden was only waking up and the pool was too cold. No doubt in summer this place must be even more magical!!!! Overall a great week in the Loire Valley. Many thanks to Ali and his family for their hospitality! We definitely recommend your place!

La maison est fonctionnel pour un groupe de personne de plus de 8 (URL HIDDEN) disposition des chambre et de la pièces a vivre permet un rassemblement agréable avec de l'espace Nous n'avions pas compris que la piscine étais pour toute les maison ceci a était notre déception par rapport au photo ou nous pension vraiment avoir la piscine et la terrasse privé . La propriété est charmante et offre de nombreux loisir ceci étant un gros plus étant donner que cussay est un tout petit village . La petite terrasse et le barbecue permette des soirée très très agréable en extérieur, il faudrait cependant rajouter des lumière car a la tomber de la nuit la terrasse est complètement ds le noire , Et des rideaux opaque ou des volet au fenettre des chambre. Quelques toiles d arraigne nous on peut déranger au début . Cette maison est un petit coin de bonheur si vous aimer les choses simple et fonctionnel. Alistaire est une personne très agréable et flexible ce qui est fortement agréable quand on a envie de se détendre en vacance il reste à votre disposition et ceci est un gros plus . Notre groupe était ravi. Nous reviendrons très certainement . Le rapport qualité prix étant vraiment intetessant .

My parents went to Yannick's house and they said to me immediately how beautiful and particular it is. His neighbour gave them the key on time and without any inconvenience. Yannick has been very kind and helpful, also before my parents' stay in his place. I recommend this accommodation. Thanks a lot Yannick! Luca

Logement conforme à la description, idéal pour les personnes à la recherche de calme. Jardin très appréciable.

Adorable petite maison dans un bel environnement. Très calme. Bon accueil. Jardin agréable.

La description du logement est sur le site est très bien expliquer. Nous n'avons pas été déçu, nous avons pu passer quatre jours au calme et profiter du jardin.
