A fantastic house in a lovely area
We spent a fabulous week in Francoise and Benoir's house. We had a mixture of weather but there was always plenty to do. The pool was fantastic for the hot days, it's very peaceful and a real sun trap and the house is equipped with plenty of plastic cups, bowls and plates to drink and snack up there all day long! We made good use of the provided bikes which were all in great condition. There are some lovely routes to cycle out around the area. We also visited Chenonceau Chateau which is beautiful but very crowded in peak season. Prepare for queues and pack a lunch to take with you!
The house is great for a large family, there were 14 of us plus a baby. It might be tricker with friends as the downstairs rooms are bigger and have more storage where the upstairs rooms are in the roof without wardrobes and all sharing one small bathroom. It was fine for us as the children were all based upstairs and the triple room was perfect for our three to share, just might cause some issues in groups where everyone was paying the same for very different rooms. The downstairs of this house is fantastic. There is a really big living/dining space with seating for even more than the 15 of us. The kitchen has two ovens, two fridges and is well equipped. It was great to be able to all sit together on the days when the weather wasn't good enough to sit outside.
Francoise offers a catering service which I would really urge you to take up. She cooked a meal for all of us for a birthday one evening and it was AMAZING! The strawberry tart was the most delicious French pudding I think I have ever tasted - so good that we almost asked her to cook it for us again on our last night.
Francoise and Benoit were very friendly and helpful without being in any way obtrusive. Communication with them was very easy, through email or text message and Francoise's English is excellent.
We would really recommend this house - we had a lovely week. Thank you!
