The kitchen is really well supplied! Several reviews mention this, and it’s true. Also plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery which isn’t always the case. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities. Locally, we probably weren’t very adventurous with restaurants etc, but we did use the excellent nearby tram service into Orléans. It’s affordable and runs every 20 mins. Saved us the hassle of using the car. Nice quiet neighbourhood, lovely pool. A very relaxing holiday. ##### Mark A.

We feel we were in a joyous dream a bubble of calm...like a child's fairy tale. We dream of coming back soon,for after traveling some 300 kilometers by bike this cottage was a secret garden for our refuge. Frederique and Remi were our gracious hosts ##### Susan H.

When we arrived Frederique had stocked the shelves and the refrigerator, there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us. It was cool and rainy during our stay and we made good use of the fireplace in the evenings. The cottage is well located for visits to the chateaus and sites of Loire. We also enjoyed relaxing days at the cottage with a walk to one of the bakeries for breakfast in the morning and a visit to the local crepe shop just a 1/4 mile away. If you are looking to experience France and French hospitality this is a great way to do it. Thanks again Frederique and Remy and we hope to see you again. We will never forget how you saved us during the "wine outage" on the unexpected Bank Holiday give Valentine a scratch for us. Mike and Marlys ##### Mike G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 11 Dec 2008 #### LE POT VERT Our stay at Le pot Vert was most enjoyable. It was everything it was represented to be. Arrival was seamless with excellent explanations, supplies and an everything-functioning household. Also, Frederique, the owner, was most responsive with respect to all questions we had as the week progressed even volunteering a mobile GPS system for us to use during our stay. The house is very well stocked with guide books, maps, general reading, dvds, cds and kitchen provisions. Le pot Vert certainly provides plenty of room if you are just two people like we were, however, two bedrooms are not equal if you are a party of four or more. The property on which Le pot Vert sits is beautifully maintained, and the surrounding area is pleasantly residential with very good food shopping close by. Our day trips to the various chateaux in the Loire Valley worked out very well, and Orleans turned out to be a more interesting city than many of the guide books represented.

The owners, Frederique and Remy were very charming and hospitable, and when we arrived to find a fully stocked pantry and refrigerator, wines, cheeses, and even baguettes and pastries, we were more than delighted! We were blessed with wonderful weather so we could take advantage of walks and bike rides near the Loire, a hot-air balloon ride, visits to several chateaux and wine tastings, and walks to the local Sunday market. We also appreciated Frederique's recommendations for local restaurants which were fun and charming. I do think a month was a long time to be in one place once the weather started turning a bit chilly and rainy, but over all it was a wonderful experience. The description of the cottage is accurate (except the furniture in the living room is now different than the photo, but not a big deal). The owners supplied bikes, a garage for our rental car, and free Wi-Fi and international calling which was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family. ##### Donna K.

Family lives on the property in the larger house. 1800 sqaure foot cottage that has all the comforts of home. Everything works well. Plenty of hot water, good water pressure, washer-dryer, 16 cubic foot size fridge, 4 burner electric stove with oven, toaster, coffee & tea makers, 26" TV, AM/FM radio with CD player, iffy Wi-fi internet signal usually works, it's free. Decor is authentic french wine country and cute, cute, cute. Friendly family dogs and cats will play with you and the kids. Cottage can sleep up to 6 people. Bedrooms upstairs. Narrow wood staircase is NOT handicap accessible. Twin beds are comfy if a bit lumpy & old feeling. Main queen size bed is fine, it's firm! Good quality linens, clean & fresh smelling. Owners are the nicest people, especially warm, friendly, helpful, interesting and humorus. Frederique speaks English much better than husband Dr. Remy. If you are Francophone you will be treated like close family. I plan to stay here again. ##### Barbara S.

(plenty of room for two couples). Athena, who wrote the recent review here, was one of our housemates. The cottage is lovely, very comfortable and clean -- and blissfully quiet (so nice to hear only birdsong in the morning!). We loved taking the cheap and easy tram into Orleans (a beautiful city) as well as our many day-trips to chateaux and to the wine-making town of Sancerre. Only an hour by train from Paris, we also were able to easily sneak into the capital, but to be honest, it was the cottage that maintained its greatest pull on us all. Returning to it each day was a balm for the soul and we ended up eating most of our evening meals at home after shopping in town (with desserts and fresh bread from one of the best boulangeries in France). Our two dogs had a ball romping in the grounds and one of our favorite things to do was to wander back into the property's woods, aperos in hand, during l'heure bleue each evening. Frederique and Remy were gracious hosts, helping us as needed but always giving us complete privacy. We have rented many properties in France and elsewhere and this was by far the most charming. The best compliment I can give is to say I wish we could have stayed longer and that we want to come back. ### 10/10 Excellent #### anne c. 1 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ferienhaus mit Charme Historisches Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette C., California 27 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charm and hospitality in a relaxing environment Charming and full of authentic character, Le Pot Vert captures the experience of a cozy cottage with views of nature set in beautiful, well-tended grounds. Since we visited for a week in February, our family of three spent much time indoors, finding the space very comfortable and accommodating. I especially liked the adorable French country kitchen with its pretty views (still a center of activity for us during the pandemic) and the fireplace that kept us warm. Others have already commented on the generous provisions that Frédérique provides. This is all true but I don’t think it captures the amount of thought and detail she has considered in creating as welcoming a stay as possible. After briefly showing us the house, we were left to relax and feel at home, discovering croissants and other baked goods from her favorite local bakery; a pantry and refrigerator stocked with quality produce and ample ingredients for a few simple meals. This cottage and its furnishing are immaculately maintained and presented. Together with all this, we enjoyed much privacy during our stay, although we knew that Frédérique was available if necessary to answer any questions that would arise. Living in Paris, we stayed for a week of our daughter’s school break, and found the WiFi to be reliable for work. We drove to Orleans a few times and regularly walked and cycled at the nearby forest. We particularly enjoyed DaVinci’s home, Château du Clos Lucé, near Amboise, about an hour away. Thank you, Frédérique, for all your efforts! ##### Janette C.

Frederique and Renee provide a welcome worthy of Kings. Fully stocked cottage with all the comforts. Excellent accommodation in a park like setting that had hundreds of roses in bloom! You will not be disappointed. The perfume museum, La Parc floral, the maritime museum were all less than 30 minutes away and made for excellent day trips with picnics on the grounds. Enjoy! ##### penny h.

Lots of little quaint little surrounding towns to visit, and only 1.5 hr drive from the Paris centre! This is a place where you will really get to experience the French way of living -- from the house itself, to the chickens roaming the grounds, to the glorious produce you will find at the market, to the Michelin star restaurants to dine at. Frederique was extremely helpful in the preliminary planning process. She would be very responsive, had great suggestions on restaurants and where to visit. You could tell she cherishes her home, and loves to share it with guests. She also took the time to decorate the cottage with Christmas touches, and along with a wood burning fireplace, all of it really made the place feel like home. The grounds itself is stunning in the winter, and I could only imagine how gorgeous the grounds are in the summer in full bloom. Frederique was more than gracious, generous and just overall wonderful. This is a vacation we will always remember! ##### Caroline P.

Our hosts provided a fridge full of foods, in addition to spirits, wines, coffee, tea, croissants and breads from a local bakery. There is a very nice pool and relaxation area, but we were there in October 2016, so it was too cool to swim. The grounds of their property were very beautiful. Would love to see them in the spring when everything is in bloom! They also had a book with directions for everything in the cottage and suggestions of places to eat and visit. Lots of maps are also available. There are several nice restaurants in the area, but you will need to drive to them. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a VRBO outside of Paris. ##### Martha M.

The owners are charming and committed to helping you have a great holiday - the layout of the grounds around the cottage provides plenty of space and lovely views over the garden. The pool is long enough for swimming or volleyball and provides a peaceful and private spot for sunbathing. The kitchen has everything you would expect at home and the fridge was generously filled on arrival. Bathrooms are spotless and bed mattresses are firm. Clean linen and plenty of towels are provided. Wifi works fine, so you can stay as connected to the outside world as you wish:) There are some good local options for dog walking, including a riverbank walk in St Jean de Braye and a local parkland area. We would recommend the cottage to friends and would love to return one day. Thanks to Frederique and her family for their patience with our dog and all their support and care during the week. A bientot! Phil & Annabel NB The cottage best suits two couples or a young family, as the two single beds are on the landing outside the master and second double bedroom. ##### Phil A.

Great location; close to facilities but with the feel of a country cottage. Well appointed (the photos don't lie) and very welcoming hosts in Frederique and Remi; nothing was too much for them, and the home made apricot jam was delicious! The cottage had enough space for young and old to spread out, whilst the pool, the kitchen table and the outdoor table became the focus of family time - a wonderful cottage and worth booking; we'll certainly be going again! ##### tom m.

Frederique is a warm and vivacious host and Remy's low keyed charm makes you feel right at home. The animals are a particular delight especially Bess one of the sweetest dogs in the world. The cottage is well stocked with everything you will need and they have paid attention to every detail down to the fresh eggs from their chickens roaming the grounds. We enjoyed going to different towns every day especially Orleans for lunch and sightseeing and returning to the lovely cottage to have a fire and cook a nice dinner in the warm, inviting kitchen. It was a perfect French country setting and close to many wonderful attractions -- my favorite Chateau Chambord which was recommended by Frederique and Paris is close by either train or car. Looking forward to going back soon for another beautiful vacation! ##### Athena K.

We ended a busy, fun-filled trip to France with a one-week stay at Frederique & Remy's beautiful cottage. At this point in the trip we were looking forward to some R&R and this property certainly did not disappoint! The kids loved the tree house, pool area and HUGE yard - not to mention the friendly pets (and chickens!!). This cottage was equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable - and was perfectly clean. The cottage had so much character too - a truly authentic experience! We did a lot of our own cooking, but when we wanted restaurant recommendations nearby, Frederique was very helpful in recommending (and booking) a fabulous dinner for our last evening. We did a few day trips from this location and found you could reach all the big chateaus (and even Versailles) within 1-1.5 hours and it was easy to get around (with a car). We had high expectations of our stay here and it even surpassed them! We would love to go back and would certainly stay here again!! ##### Amy C.

Spacious and convenient accommodation with elegant decoration and style. A delightful garden outlook. Well supplied with everything you need and more. Kitchen especially well-stocked - crockery, utensils and food! Spotless and well-maintained. Comfortable bed and high quality linen. We loved our stay and didn't want to leave after a month. Looking forward to meeting the owner again (and friendly cat, dog and hens!) the next time we stay. Karin and Philip. ##### Karine T.

Large rooms that had been prepared beautifully of our arrival. Well located near shops and other amenities, whilst in a rural setting with huge grounds. Plenty of lovely walks along the Loire nearby, and easy access to Orleans. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. ##### Ben R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Les Hauts de Loire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Veuzain-Sur-Loire-Hotels-Domaine-Des-Hauts-De-Loire.h27541511.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau 150kms south of Paris for 15 people](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cerdon-Hotels-Chateau-150kms-South-Of-Paris-For-24-People.h41808702.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sonnay Castle Lodge, near Chinon: 4 \*\*\*\* cottage for 2 ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cravant-Les-Coteaux-Hotels-The-Sonnay-Castle-Lodge.h27326605.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Le Cheval Blanc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Just-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Cheval-Blanc.h40719585.Hotel-Information) > > [Spacious waterfront villa in the isolella with private beach and pontoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spacious-Waterfront-Villa-In-The-Isolella-With-Private-Beach-And-Pontoon.h34958068.Hotel-Information) > > [Gîte des Caves, 16th century, near Beauval and Chenonceaux, troglodyte pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montrichard-Val-De-Cher-Hotels-Gite-Des-Caves.h67409251.Hotel-Information) > > [VVF Lac d'Eguzon, Eguzon Chantôme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eguzon-Chantome-Hotels-VVF-Villages-Les-Bords-Du-Lac-Eguzon.h2731415.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Choiseul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboise-Hotels-Le-Choiseul.h175114.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Tours Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tours-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Tours.h66541223.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel D'Angleterre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bourges-Hotels-Best-Western-Hotel-Dangleterre.h430298.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel de Biencourt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Azay-Le-Rideau-Hotels-Hotel-De-Biencourt.h11254538.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Jehan de Beauce](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chartres-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-Jehan-De-Beauce-Les-Collectionneurs.h1350069.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais des Cinq Routes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parnac-Hotels-Relais-Des-Cinq-Routes.h24237166.Hotel-Information) > > [Château de Boisrenault](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buzancais-Hotels-Chateau-De-Boisrenault.h16322562.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Huttopia Lac de Rillé](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rille-Hotels-Camping-Huttopia-Rille.h35828073.Hotel-Information) > > [Center Parcs Les Hauts de Bruyères](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chaumont-Sur-Tharonne-Hotels-Center-Parcs-Les-Hauts-De-Bruyeres.h18637387.Hotel-Information) > > [La Grange de La Retardière, spa and spaciousness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepmes-Hotels-La-Grange-De-La-Retardiere.h63315933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Restaurant Spa la Maison Tatin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lamotte-Beuvron-Hotels-La-Maison-Tatin.h18693491.Hotel-Information) > > [2 The Courtyard 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Seen-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h35165606.Hotel-Information) > > [Logis Hôtel Restaurant La Mire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mereau-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-La-Mire.h16133105.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Pluvier - Luxury 3 bedroom holiday home with heated pool in the Loire Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cussay-Hotels-Le-Pluvier-Luxury-3-Bedroom-Gite-With-Heated-Swimming-Pool-In-The-Loire-Valley.h36149161.Hotel-Information) > > [Château des Sept Tours](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Courcelles-De-Touraine-Hotels-Chateau-Des-Sept-Tours.h893950.Hotel-Information) > > [Manoir Du Parc - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboise-Hotels-Manoir-Du-Parc.h23256152.Hotel-Information) > > [Loire Valley Lodges - Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Esvres-Hotels-Loire-Valley-Lodges.h46137929.Hotel-Information) > > ["les écureuils" 4\* chateaux Azay le rideau](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheille-Hotels-Squirrels-4-Heated-Pool-The-Loire-Valley-Azay-The-Curtain.h33473194.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel de Panette](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bourges-Hotels-Hotel-De-Panette-Appartements-De-Charme.h15386834.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Maintenon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maintenon-Hotels-Castel-Maintenon-Hotel-Restaurant-Spa.h9693795.Hotel-Information) > > [La Belle Etoile-La Grange-House near Azay le Rideau - Large Grounds with Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avon-Les-Roches-Hotels-La-Belle-Etoile-La-Grange.h32055194.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Chartres Sud Barjouville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barjouville-Hotels-Hotel-LOree-De-Chartres.h789464.Hotel-Information) ---
