Set in deep countryside with beautiful views over the village. Relatively close enough for visits to châteaux of the Loire. Big hypermarket (E. Leclerc) 20 minutes away. Some inclement weather during our stay but enough hot days for swimming and lazing around the pool area. Great holiday. Chris W ##### Christopher W.
