Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à 7 adultes dans cette maison remplie d'histoire. Bien située, dans le centre de ce petit village, le cadre, et la propriété sont authentiques, idéal pour des retrouvailles familiales de plusieurs jours. Parfaitement adaptée aux familles, grand terrain, jeux....elle permet les grandes tablées en intérieur et en extérieur. Le salon en U, devant la cheminée est parfait. 2 salles de bain ( douches) des grandes chambres, des grands lits, le tout tres propre.

Superbe maison. À recommander.

Location très soignée et très propre. Équipement de cuisine et de loisirs exhaustifs. Endroit très bien situé pour visiter tous les châteaux de la Loire qui se trouvent à environ une trentaine de minutes maximum du gîte. Le château local vaut aussi le détour.
