The photos do not do this property justice. The home is an old farmhouse that has been recently renovated and has a well-stocked kitchen, large kitchen and dining room, and three bedrooms, one of which has four single beds. There are two bathrooms with showers. Although it was warm while we were here (low 90s), the cross-breeze at night cooled the upstairs down for sleeping. Outdoors is a huge lawn with an old well, an old grainary, and a duck pond, as well as a table and chairs, grill, and ping pong table. The best feature is the owners, Irene and Didier, who were so welcoming and helpful, even lending clothes to one in our group whose suitcase never made it and inviting us over for drinks. The home is walking distance to Chateau Villandry with its amazing gardens, and to a delicious and highly rated farm-to-table restaurant. It is also within a 30 minute drive to a number of chateaux and charming Loire villages (e.g., Chinon, Azay le Rideau, Usse, Langeais, Abbaye de Fountevraud). We highly, highly recommend this lovely retreat! ##### Liz G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ludivine S. 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magnifique ! Des propriétaires adorables et disponibles, très accueillants et soucieux de notre bien-être et de bons conseils. Au niveau de la la location, une vraie merveille ! Spacieuse et vraiment très propre avec un jardin immense. Merci à Irène et Didier pour cette jolie parenthèse ! ##### Ludivine S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S., Zephyr Cove, NV 10 Jun 2018 #### Wonderful house, wonderful hosts. We had a fabulous, relaxing week at the Berdaquerie in Villandry. The house has easy access to all that the Loire region offers, and is very comfortable to just sit and relax, something that was very important to us. Irene and Didier were the best! They were warm and gracious hosts, who helped us with reservations, and made sure our stay was comfortable,. Perfect! ##### John S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### CORNET J. 29 Dec 2017 #### Une halte sympathique près des châteaux de la Loire Nous avons résidé 3 jours à la Berdaquerie, pour passer Noël en famille. La maison est un ancien bâtiment agricole habilement transformé en gîte. Les surfaces des pièces sont généreuses, que ce soit pour la salle de séjour ou les chambres. Bien qu'étant 8 personnes, nous ne nous "marchions pas sur les pieds", même si le temps froid et brumeux nous a incités à rester douillettement près du feu à l'âtre et ne nous a pas permis de bénéficier des agréments du joli jardin ni des ressources touristiques proposées. Maison bien équipée, convenant à une grande famille ou à deux couples avec enfants. Accueil très souriant et efficace d'Irène et Didier. ##### CORNET J.
