Francoise and Jean are wonderful people, very open and welcoming. The farm is located in the middle of beautiful, spacious fields and is just brimming with life. So many birds, Igor the (very sweet) horse, deer, foxes, small lizards, a farm cat paying a visit from time to time.. definitely recommend this for anyone who is looking to get away from busy city life for a while; you'll feel like a new person after spending a week here.

Francoise en Jean zijn zeer gastvrij en alles was mogelijk. De dag na aankomst stond Igor het paard bij het huis. Onze kinderen (en wij ook) vonden dat geweldig en gingen elke dag wel een paar keer kijken. Hij vond de aandacht en de appels en wortels heerlijk. De woning bevind zich alleen op de bovenverdieping wat voor ons met twee hele kleine kinderen soms wat onhandig was. Vanuit de woning was namelijk weinig zicht op de kinderen als als ze buiten waren. Het huis was verder goed verzorgd en ook voor de kinderen was er voldoende speelgoed. Onze zoon heeft heerlijk op de loopfiets rond het huis gereden. Er is in de omgeving ook genoeg te doen. Vanuit het huis kan je goed wandelen. In tegenstelling tot hetgeen wordt aangeven is er geen WiFi. Wat ook wel heel ontspannend is maar voor de kinderen toch een gemis als ze even een filmpje willen kijken. Als je tot rust wilt komen is dit echt de perfecte locatie. Let wel op je hoofd want de balken zitten vrij laag😁 Groeten, Robert, Bea, Bram en Lisa Groetjes ##### Bea A.

Francoise and Jean are excellent hosts, even bringing us tomatoes and plums from their garden. Whilst the house is finished to a very high standard, the open plan kitchen dining area is the only seating available and the property would be improved with a separate lounge area. ##### Andrew M.

Surrounded by fields, the house was wonderfully quiet, with no traffic noise and fantastically dark night skies. The children loved the freedom and space, especially stroking and feeding ends of baguette to the donkey and horse in the field opposite the house, (visible from their bedroom window). Wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy more walks, cycles and blackberry picking, (cueillette de mûre)! Jean and Francoise were very welcoming hosts, thank you very much for the delicious confiture de prunes! Hope to return some time. ##### Nicola T.

Peaceful and beautiful. Lots to see in the area if you wish to do so. Le Mans was a treat, and the trip on the tourist railway is not to be missed. The hospitality of the ownners was first class. We will definately come again. ##### Allan C.

The house is beautifully renovated and furnished and surrounded by peaceful fields and abundant wildlife. Meeting wild deer became a daily event. Jean and Francoise have put lots of love and attention into the property and extended the same to our stay, with friendly advice and help throughout. If you are looking for a calm and beautiful place to stay, then this is perfect. The owners fully accommodated our two children, including a young toddler. The house is close to several small towns with lots of opportunities to try out the local wine. And there's a convenient Supermarket within 10 minutes drive. We wouldn't hesitate to return for another stay. The photos don't do justice to how lovely this place is. ##### Simon E.

USA 4 May 2017 #### A great stay A comfortable converted barn with farmland all around. Jean and Françoise were a delight to have as the property owners. We felt like a part of their family. The barn with post and beam construction, ample room for four adults, and green and yellow pastures around you made you feel a part of it all. The lower part of the barn was being converted into more living space. We had to say goodbye personally. They invited us to meet their son and view their home. They asked us if we wanted to share some wine. Unfortunately the road was calling for our drive to Paris. We all would love to return ##### Gary G.

Nous avons trouvé un gîte formidable à Villedieu chez Françoise et Jean, authentique avec tout le confort possible. Leur accueil a été parfait et nous nous sommes tout de suite senti "chez nous". Tout est prévu pour que nous passions un excellent séjour et si nous devons revenir dans le coin nous reviendrons certainement à cette adresse!! bravo! ##### joelle C.
