L'accueil des propriétaires est chaleureux et ils sont disponibles pour régler le moindre souci. A recommander ##### niala g. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Valérie P. 6 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Bonne adresse pour semaine au calme à la campagne Descriptif globalement conforme à l'annonce. Gîte spacieux, propre, idéal pour les familles avec les jeunes enfants (3 et 5 ans nous concernant) qui apprécieront nourrir les ânes et jouer aux jeux de société mis à disposition. La cheminée est fonctionnelle et apporte du charme au séjour. La literie est de qualité. Un supplément pour le chauffage devrait toutefois apparaître plus clairement au moment de la réservation. La précision figurait bien dans la documentation transmise post réservation. Les hôtes sont accueillants et serviables. C'est une belle adresse à conserver pour visiter les divers châteaux de la Loire aux alentours. ##### Valérie P.
