The house is definitely quirky with wood beams and angles to work around upstairs. We stayed over New Years and had a great time. Marie is very interesting and communicative and suggested the Tours Opera for New Year’s Eve which was fun! She is very helpful and gave us suggestions for where to shop, visit etc. Winter in France was a very different experience for us. The Chateaux were lit up and decorated along with shops and streets. A great time to go! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Paul D. 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nature et calme Très agréable ##### Jean Paul D.

The house is amazing, the beds are very comfortable. Being able to sit in the courtyard and enjoy a meal is a real bonus. This was my second stay with Marie and I know I'll be back. ##### Sheri T.

De boerderij is van alle gemakken voorzien en staat in het teken van kunst en bloemen. Ruime slaapkamers met eigen badkamer, wat erg handig was met pubers. Heel rustig gelegen op 15 minuten met de auto van het centrum van Tours. Volledige rust, maar toch overal dichtbij. We zijn heel vriendelijk ontvangen door eigenaresse die goed Engels spreekt. De eigenaresse woont in het aansluitende huis, maar dat is afgescheiden. Ze geeft op verzoek met alle plezier tips over wat te doen in de Loire steek. ##### Yvonne v.

When we started communicating with Marie about the house and the area we were amazed by how responsive she was, always a reply within hours. Marie shared so much information what to see and do that there was no way to do it all. When we arrived at the house we were late due to traffic, road construction and rain. Marie was so gracious when we called to let her know we were delayed. When we finally got there she welcomed us so warmly, showing us all of the features of the house and really made us feel at home. While we were there Marie catered a meal for us, even taking into account three very different diets and did an amazing job. She prepared a meal of local specialties that was delicious. The location was perfect, a little out in the country but close to plenty of shops and restaurants. We liked that we didn't have to deal with city traffic every day. Ultimately, we were very sorry to leave. The warmth and hospitality of Marie made the week so much nicer than we could have imagined. I'm kind of glad we didn't see everything on our list, that's an excellent excuse to go back to visit Marie! ##### Sheri T.

Marie was extremely helpful and gave us very useful information about the region and what it had to offer. Her house was very welcoming. We had ample room for the four of us and the kitchen was well-stocked. We would highly recommend Marie’s house for a quiet stay in a convenient location just outside of Tours while exploring the Loire Valley. ##### Sylvie and Gene B.

Es, sin duda, una opción perfecta para visitar la región: está a unos 25 minutos de la cuidad de Tours, a unos 15 del castillo de Villandry y a menos de 90 minutos de la mayoría de castillos del Loira (Chambord, Cheverny, Blois, Ussés,...). El pueblo más cercano, Savonnières, tiene un par de buenas panaderías, supermercado, varios restaurantes, una playa en el río y un bar al aire libre junto al río con parque y actividades diversas para las tardes y noches de verano. La casa es parte de una granja rehabilitada, está pegada a la vivienda de Marie, su propietaria, pero su discreción y amabilidad es tal que no es ninguna molestia, mas bien al contrario. La propiedad consta de 2 pisos, en la planta baja hay un enorme salón comedor con un par de sofás -uno de ellos, el más grande, es comodísimo- , también hay una cocina (moderna, luminosa y totalmente equipada) y un pequeño aseo. En el piso superior hay un gran distribuidor con sofás y una decoración muy curiosa que incluye varios vestidos preciosos. Hay tres habitaciones, cada una con su baño y su ducha, dos de ellas tienen cama de matrimonio y la tercera tiene dos pequeñas camas. Las camas son muy cómodas y las lencería de cama y las toallas son de excelente calidad. La casa es ideal para una familia numerosa o dos familias. Sólo un "pero" al llegar tuvimos que comprar cosas básicas como papel higiénico, bolsas de basura, papel de cocina, estropajo o fregaplatos, entiendo que se trata de un despiste, así que esto no cambia ni un ápice nuestra excelente valoración de la casa de Marie (que, por otro lado, tenía un montón de juegos, discos, DVD con películas clásicas y hasta disfraces que hicieron nuestras delicias y las de nuestro hijo). ##### Irene F.

The owner is friendly and gracious, the house and yard were clean, well appointed, and highly functional. The space is somewhat quirky, with sloped ceilings upstairs, but spacious and artful. It is a removed and quiet location, yet with nearby shopping - and a great centralized location for getting to many Château’s (as well as wineries and other activities we didn’t elect to enjoy). I would gladly return for another fabulous stay! ##### John B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard B. 18 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A most relaxing holiday. There were three generations of our family staying at Marie’s holiday home. She was very kind and did her best to help us with all our questions. The gite is set In the country so it was a very restful and relaxing holiday. Very clean, well equipped excellent beds and towels supplied and very relaxing. It was very hot so an outside parasol would have been welcome and possibly a bbq but we didn’t ask so perhaps we should have done, also we felt if Marie had put together an information book with details of supermarkets etc it would be good but again she answered everything if we asked.. We would definitely return in the future and would recommend . ##### Richard B.

Es gibt überall viel zu bestaunen und zu entdecken. Die Küche ist etwas klein , mit wenig Arbeitsfläche , ebenso sind die Bäder klein , teilweise mit schrägen Wänden. Da wir nur vier Personen waren, reichte uns aber der Platz. Wir wurden überaus freundlich ( mit einer guten Flasche Wein ) von der Vermieterin empfangen und in alles sehr ausführlich eingewiesen. Unter prächtig blühenden Rosenbüschen haben wir trotz teilweise schlechten Wetters eine schöne Zeit hier verbracht. ##### Regine k.

La propriétaire des lieux a mis beaucoup de cœur et d'empathie pour nous accueillir. Toute notre petite famille a beaucoup apprécié. Roses magnifiques ! Implantation idéale au cœur des rivages de la Loire, des vignes et des chateaux ! ##### Christophe P.

Marie, the owner, lives next door and was a great host. Very friendly and helpful with suggestions on things to do, and always responsive when we had a request. The house is quirky and different, nicely renovated and Marie has decorated it with some lovely and unusual pieces. We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend it. We hope to be back one day. ##### Julie C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginie E. 25 Apr 2019 #### Fabuleux Nous avons passé un week-end très agréable. Marie, la propriétaire est adorable. Elle nous a accueilli très chaleureusement dans cette maison charmante et cosy. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les équipements et le confort (la literie est parfaite) qu'offrent cette maison, sans parler bien sûr de la décoration très soignée. Nous avons été complètement séduits par le calme et l'environnement très nature des alentours. Un véritable havre de paix à proximité de sites historiques splendides. Cette maison est à recommander sans aucune réserve. ##### Virginie E.

We bike along the river, and admire the landscape. A good vacation address. ##### Marie C. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lucas B. 14 Jan 2019 #### Expérience globalement décevante Séjour entre amis agréable, maison bien aménagée, lits très confortables et les salles de bain privatives sont toujours bienvenues. Cependant quelques points négatifs : -la cheminée n’est pas fonctionnelle, seulement décorative. - le ménage de la maison n’était pas prêt à notre arrivée mais seulement à 20h ce qui n’est pas habituel pour une location - une présence peut être un peu trop accentuée de l’hôte Marie qui passe souvent dans la maison. A noter aussi qu’il faut passer par son bureau pour rentrer dans la location. - location chère pour la prestation fournie ##### Lucas B. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela G. 21 Oct 2018 #### WONDERFUL! Marie is the perfect host. We arrived late from CDG with half our luggage; thus.... no toothpaste, shampoo, etc. Marie greeted us at 11:00 PM with wine and cheese and supplied us with the necessities that British Airways was holding hostage at LHR. The cottage is beautiful and reflects Marie’s talent as an artist. We truly enjoyed her companionship and look forward to returning to this little slice of heaven. ##### Pamela G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. 10 Oct 2018 #### Country idyll Berthany is an almost island cradled between the Loire and the Cher , and Maries rose covered home is the perfect peaceful country retreat. Judt a short distance from historic Savonniere and Villandry it make an ideal base for exploring the Loire Valley, its chateaux and gardens. The house was comfortable and very well equipped and having a charming hostess like Marie next door made all the difference to our stay. We were briefed with suggestions for places to go, offered delicious fig tarts and quiches, enjoyed lively discussions and sharded an outing to nearby Tours together something we would not have done on our own, One of our favourite stays during five months in Europe. ##### David M. Stayed 15 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil & Ruth S. 28 Sept 2018 #### This was an amazing character farmhouse owned by a lovely lady This house was very roomy and had all the things one could want on a stay there. Very comfortable, quirky, beautifully presented and best of all was over 300 years old. Marie was a star. She greeted us like long lost friends and made us feel so welcome. Full of local knowledge and printed out information on wherever we wanted to go. This is a ‘must stay’ country place and we can’t speak highly enough of Marie. We will return! ##### Neil & Ruth S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil B. 5 Sept 2018 #### Lovely, charming, peaceful house and location Our family had a truly amazing week at these absolutely unique and full of French character country house. Marie, the owner, was extremely helpful and kind to us throughout our stay. I would recommend this house for anyone as our family of 5 (including children age 8 and 1) had fabulous, relaxing and fabulous time. House itself was very spacious, fully equipped and we loved it so much. Although the house itself was located in peaceful area there were still many places to visit and see, not to mention a lovely town - Tours - packed in amazing architecture and restaurants that serve yummiest food. Thank you Marie 👍 ##### Neil B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc-Alain G. 20 Aug 2018 #### A great countryside and a great host The house is in a quiet setting near river Loire, surrounded by gardens and meadows. It is comfortable, well-equipped and tastefully furnished with a lot of art stuff, much of it painted and sculpted by Marie, the host. She is a talented person, and very helpful to give you hints on what to do, where to eat out, where to buy good wine and organic honey. Wonderful days we spent there. Thank you, Marie ! ##### Marc-Alain G.
