Indre e Loira: soggiorni in castelli

Tout était parfait, très bon petit déjeuner

Beautiful gite in a fantastic location with lots of character. Well equipped with large fridge freezer, Nespresso machine, dishwasher, washing machine, new cooker and plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. Swimming pool was very well used in the sweltering temperatures. Pleasant outside eating area with lots of birds, wildlife and views to watch. Excellent host who was very helpful and friendly. Good wifi. Lots of activities to do nearby.

The location feels like a dream come true, reminiscent of a castle in a forest equipped with all the modern comforts. Ellen and Paul are wonderful hosts—friendly, communicative, and eager to help. I can only share positive reflections about our stay; the natural beauty surrounding the castle is breathtaking. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable experience.

Wij hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad op het kasteel! Jerome en Charlotte zijn hele hartelijke en vriendelijke mensen. Ze verstaan hun vak als gastheer en gastvrouw! Wij hebben Frankrijk echt op een mooie manier leren kennen. Prachtige omgeving, fijne avonden met de andere gasten. Wijn proeverijen, BBQ, massage, heerlijk zwembad erbij, leuke dieren, je kunt veel informatie over de omgeving krijgen van ze. Wij hebben erg genoten en een mooie Franse herinnering.

Our family of four - with 2 kids ages 10 and 9 - loved staying at Chateau Fontenay's garden cottage. We loved being on the beautiful grounds of the Chateau. The pool was perfect! The kids loved playing ping pong outdoors near the pool and loved having access to the bikes (many to choose from so that we all found bikes to fit us!) for a ride along the Cher (a bike path runs right along the front of the property) to the boulangerie in the morning. The location is perfect for visiting Chenonceau and so many other chateaux. It was a quick drive to Amboise for dinner (although we also had a lovely dinner in Blere) and well-placed for a trip to Loches for the Wednesday morning market. Nathalie was so kind to write out a long list of suggested restaurants for us to try out in the area. We ate well! The cottage is rustic, but clean and had everything we needed, including a little laundry shed out back. We ate mostly breakfasts at the cottage, but there was also a grill if we had wanted to cook dinner for ourselves and a nice table to sit outside. The grassy area between us and the other cottage was good for our son to run and play football. We wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again!

Ivana's home was an incredible place to stay. Absolutely beautifully presented and decorated throughout with amazing views of the local countryside. It was a huge privilege to stay there. Ivana was an amazing host, really kind, welcoming and informative and made great recommendations about the local area. Ivana's breakfasts were absolutely legendary with homemade bread and preserves and it was clear to see the pride Ivana took in her home and everything she did, including the beautiful music that greeted us on our way down to breakfast! Most of all Ivana was a really kind and approachable person who connected beautifully with her guests. Thank you so much, Ivana for a truly wonderful and memorable stay at Chateau Hodebert. xxx

Très belle propriété bien entretenue avec beaucoup de charme et confortable. Alexia s'est montrée très à l'écoute. Un très bon séjour !

Alles wie beschrieben. Wunderschöne Anlage. Ein tolles Erlebnis. Toller Gastgeber. Ideal für Ausflüge oder einfach das Leben am Hof zu genießen.

Super hôte, très serviable et accueillant.le top avec en plus sauna et piscine . Super localisation pour visiter les châteaux de la Loire. Je recommande très fortement

Nous avons passé un week-end en famille dans le logement de Stéphanie en décembre. La maison était exactement ce que nous recherchions et plus encore : Très bien entretenue, équipée, spacieuse, propre, lumineuse, calme ... L'espace de vie (salon principe, salle à manger /cuisine) est très agréable et nous a permis de passer de super moments en famille. Il y a également un carrefour market à 10 minutes en voiture pour de petites courses. Nous n'avons eu aucun souci pour trouver les lieux. Stéphanie est joignable facilement. Nous recommandons ! Merci Stéphanie pour ce week-end !

Wow! This place was truly magic and way beyond our expectations. The chateau was perfectly well furnished with great taste. But more impressive were the grounds around the chateau. The views from the windows are incredible, with very old beautiful trees, grassland, a river, like paintings! We took every day walks of several kilometers among those trees within the property, with total silence. Sometimes we biked in the property. On top of this, there is a nice swimming pool and a playing room that our daughter loved, and the river where we could go with a canoe. We stayed here around 3 weeks and plan to return.

Notre séjour fut court mais très agréable. L'emplacement est idéal pour se ressourcer. Le lieu est entouré d'arbres et de bâtiments centenaires et notre hôtesse fut disponible et accueillante. Le logement est dans un bâtiment ancien, avec quelques précautions à prendre, mais combiné avec toutes les commodités modernes (cuisine équipée, lave-linge...) et avec un bon feu de cheminée, ce fut idéal !

Demeure bien adaptée à un séjour familial d’une vingtaine de personnes ( parents, enfants, conjoints, petits enfants). Elle a fait l’unanimité. La décoration avec un p’tit sapin et quelques guirlandes ont été un plus bienvenu à l’ambiance festive. France a été très réactive et d’un contact très agréable.

Un gîte plein de charme, parfaitement équipé et idéal pour accueillir un groupe comme le nôtre (nous étions 7). L’hôte a été très réactif et arrangeant, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Nous n’avons passé qu’une seule nuit, mais nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps tant l’endroit est accueillant. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Château des Hommes. L’environnement est très beau et les hôtes d’une grande gentillesse. Albine et toute sa famille font tout pour que vous passiez un magnifique séjour. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et la literie est très bonne. Nous avons adoré et nous reviendrons avec plaisir! 🥰

Absolutely stunning location and accommodation! Loved every minute of our stay and felt totally spoilt being able to use the pool and relax in the gardens whenever we wanted. Extremely friendly hosts, nothing was too much trouble. An excellent place to unwind. Highly recommended, we will be back!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Albine's place, it was beautiful and relaxing. Exactly what we needed! Her husband and her were accommodating and attentive to our needs, we had a really nice time. Definitely would like to return one day!

When I reached out to Albine, to give her an ETA, she messaged back soon. She was very welcoming, with clear instructions for entering the room and breakfast. Our room was a large comfortable space with good light, screened windows to let the clean country air into our room. We kept the windows open the entire stay to hear crickets, birds, thunder and rainstorm. Beautiful countryside estate with castle ruins on the property to explore. We didn't get a chance to use the pool area, but Albine had placed "pool towels" in our room, just in case. As a guest, you need to know, you are really in the country. The closest town that we frequented was Langeais and Villandry, with each having at least one chateau to visit and plenty of restaurants, chocolate shops, bakeries, and casual places to get a drink and a french style sandwich. This was a good base to do our daily exploring. Albine had many suggestions and knows the history of the area extremely well. Thank you Albine. Hope to visit soon!
