Enjoyed a brilliant week in this lovely house. The swimming pool was a hit with kids and adults and plenty of outdoor space. Kitchen could do with a few more mugs and bowls when itâs a larger group. Check in and out process very easy and independent which helps when travelling a distance! A short walk from Azay le Rideau where you can enjoy restaurants and shops. Loved our stay here!
The property was huge and excelled our hopes and what the information stated. The location was perfect being close to a town with good shops and beautiful chateau. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Plenty of outdoor furniture and adequate kitchen utensils. What an amazing venue. The electric power went off and the owner was easy to contact and it was sorted all within 20 minutes. Easy parking and great communication throughout the booking and with detailed instructions to access the property. Would love to return
We stayed with our children, their spouses and our grandchildren, 6 adults, 3 young children. The house was spacious. The large garden had plenty of room to play cricket, and there was room for inflatables in the pool. There were several outdoor and indoor seating areas. The kitchen was well equipped though a few more tea towels would have been useful.
The house is in a fantastic location, walking distance (with young children) to the shops, restaurants and chateau of Azay le Rideau, and a boulangerie and bar/tabac in Cheille.
There is parking over the road and we could always get a space.
The night market in Azay on the Friday evening is worth a visit.
We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the house: the sofas had clearly not been moved for cleaning (filthy when retrieving a toy that had rolled underneath) and there was a half eaten chocolate bar on a shelf and a wrapper under one of the beds. We had been told that we could not arrive before 6pm as a deep COVID clean was being done. This had not happened.
The downstairs toilet didnât always flush properly. The marble slab in the living room did not seem to be securely attached and could be a hazard.
We were concerned to find a cctv camera directed at the pool, as we had not been told about this and what it was being used for.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday.
This spacious, comfortable house was perfect for our extended family of 9. It is well equipped with everything we needed, lots of seating , great pool, plenty of outdoor space. It is not luxurious but is family friendly with nothing too fragile or easily damaged. We had no issue with cleanliness. The area is lovely with lots to see and do within easy reach. Azay le Rideau is a 10 minute stroll with its range of shops and restaurants. We did not meet Cecile but communication with her was prompt and helpful. All in all we great time and I would certainly recommend this house.
There was more than enough room for sleeping for our group of 8. The kitchen was small but there was an open flame bbq fireplace that made for a great dinner when all of the local restaurants were closed. Strange hours in the neighboring village of Azay de Richeau. Our house was a very short 1/2 mil walk into the village. The house seemed to be several smaller apartments blended together which gave the house a strange flow. Plenty of refrigerator space and freezer too (for making ice). No air conditioning but plenty of fans to use. Very centrally located in the Loire valley to see wineries and cities and hot air balloon rides. Itâs located on a busy street so sleeping with the windows open was a problem for one bedroom. Garage space for one car and a large lot nearby for others. It could use a little TLC in that the decor was bland and outdoor areas could use some sprucing up. We did not pay for access to the hot tub/hammam so I canât comment on that. Owner was great with recommendations.
