Lovely and comfortable farmhouse near several chateaux
What a lovely home in the Loire countryside! 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!
