Gîte très sympathique et bien équipé, endroit calme à proximité de Loches, ville touristique très intéressante. Accueil agréable des propriétaires. A recommandé pour un couple.
Séjour calme et reposant.
Accueil plaisant et discret sans oublier la visite d’un écureuil et le miel délicieux des propriétaires.

Notre séjour près de Varennes, un peu introuvable....
Naturellement c'était trop court, deux jours, trois nuits! Le lieu est très spécial, ce vieux moulin, vraiment chouette. Les hôtes charmants, mais assez absents, ce que nous avons trouvé dommage. C'est petit, mais suffisant pour deux personnes et les environs (tous ces châteaux) vraiment l'embarras du choix. De bons souvenirs donc!!

Mittelmässig
Die Bettwäsche hat schmudelig ausgesehen und nicht frisch gerochen.
Die Matratze ist sehr alt und muss dringend ersetzt werden. Nach vier Nächten war ich X-Fach zerstochen/zerbissen. Allenfalls Flohbisse.
Der Nasszellenbereich nur mit Vorhang war unangenehm. Sind aus diesem Grund früher abgereist.
séjour très agréable dans ce logement, parfait pour s'y reposer au calme .
super accueil des propriétaires qui sont à la fois discrets et efficaces .Nous les remercions pour leur pleine confiance.
Logement authentique, calme et bien équipé dans un ancien moulin rénové, idealement situé au coeur d'une region historique. Les hôtes sont disponibles et discrets a la fois, une parenthèse enchantée pour le repos,des visites de châteaux ou des promenades au vert.
Eerste indruk was schitterend: je komt op een afgelegen, rustige, voormalige boerderij, met een beetje rommelige binnenplaats: het staat vol met leuke spullen (brocante), maar ook kapot materiaal. Typisch laissez-faire, laissez aller. Er zijn voldoende bijgebouwen om deze weg te bergen in afwachting van herstel, of gooi ze gewoon weg.
De ontvangst was vriendelijk en hartelijk, maar niet echt proactief. We moesten zelf van alles vragen (waar vind je een bakker, supermarkt, etc...). Een infoblad hierover zou handig zijn. We betaalden extra voor een lakenset, waarvan de matrashoes te klein was (en dus elke nacht loskwam) en voor handdoeken, 1 stuk per persoon. De inrichting is goed maar minimaal en duidelijk goedkoop, dus geen topkwaliteit (net genoeg, minimum 1 afwas per dag nodig om rond te komen).
De overdekte doorgang is zeer praktisch bij te warm of regenachtig weer, maar ook hier rommelig. De 2 BBQ's die er stonden, waren rijp voor het stort en dus onbruikbaar. De eigenares was wel zo vriendelijk onmiddellijk een nieuwe te voorzien, maar de kapotte bleven staan.
De ruimte voor de vuilbakken was een klein stort. Ze hebben een geld om de molen te renoveren, maar opruimen kost geen geld en zo bekom je een propere en overzichtelijke ruimte voor de vuilbakken. En kun je de molen een meerwaarde laten zijn.
Kortom de plaats mist liefde om het top te maken.
Un très joli moment de repos au milieu des visites de châteaux. . Ce gîte
"au four à pain" a participé en grande partie à la réussite de mon séjour. Verdure, calme ,dégustation de miel et bbq .. que du bonheur grâce également à propriétaire d une très grande gentillesse.
A faire et à recommander. !
We zijn erg fijn ontvangen door de eigenaresse! Huisje is net ruim genoeg voor 2 personen en is ‘plein d’ambiance’ in een rustige omgeving. Weliswaar moet je voor de beroemde kastelen wel een eindje rijden, maar dat is geen straf!
Logement petit mais mignon et il n'y manque rien. Jardin et nature sauvage permettant d'amener son chien sans problème. Un hic :
Les poutres à l'étage nous obligent à baisser la tête mais on s'habitue. Propriétaires aimables et discrets
Joli logement au calme et bien amenagé.
Propriétaires disponibles et accueillants
Alliance parfaite de l’ancien et du moderne concernant la rénovation du logement
We stayed here for a couple of nights on the way down to south west France. We were very comfortable plus there were some nice walks nearby as we were travelling with our dog.
Die FeWo ist ausreichend für eine Woche. Die Toilette ist durch einen Vorhang vom Schlafzimmer getrennt. Das Häuschen liegt ziemlich außerhalb, aber mit Auto ist alles erreichbar.
