Wonderful accommodations near Tours!
Wow! What a wonderful home! The house is just as you see in photos, very cute and comfortable! Michel is very kind, and very helpful! I wish we could have stayed longer to get to know Michel and his wife better! The beds are so comfortable! The view is beautiful! We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening, and in the morning! We would definitely stay here again! I only have 2 recommendations for future renters, hand soap in the bathroom and hand towels. We did not realize that the pressure in the bathroom sink is very good so we accidentally sprayed water all over the counter when washing our faces and hands, so a hand towel to wipe up the water would be great. But this did not cause any problems. Also, Michel so kindly mailed my daughter’s iPhone charger to us, she left it in the home. He is the kindest person! I hope to return some day for a longer stay to get to know him better! Wonderful memories were made at this home!!

havre de paix en pleine nature
Merci à Michel et Claire pour leur accueil toujours aussi chaleureux et sympathique. Le logement est un vrai petit havre de paix, cadre très calme, très arboré. La climatisation dans le logement a été un gros plus pour notre séjour compte tenu des températures caniculaires. Michel et Claire sont vraiment très gentils, à la fois discrets mais toujours présents en cas de souci quelconque. Aux petits soins. Très arrangeants sur les heures d'arrivée et les heures de départ. Nous reviendrons certainement leur rendre visite l'année prochaine à la même période. Merci encore a eux ! Sylvie, Patrick et leurs amis
