The photographs don’t do justice to this beautiful home and gardens. It has to be seen and experienced. We had a perfect stay. The area is wonderful to explore and Patrice gave us great help and recommendations. We felt honoured to be given the opportunity to stay in this loved family home. We plan to return.

Thank you Stephanie for your pleasant appreciation and we look forward to seing you again.
Very pleasant stay in a special & well equipped home
The host was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful.
The vacation home is very well equipped and all equipment is of high quality.
The rooms are all individually styled and we thoroughly appreciated the interior of the house.
Given its former function as a mill, the kitchen has a direct view of the mill gears, which are beautifully restored and give this area a special charm.
The garden and terrace are are huge and give ample room to relax or have meals outside.
The restaurant across the street is excellent and we also were able to buy many different local wines there. This was a great recommendation by the host.
Overall our stay exceeded our expectations and we can highly recommend this property!
L'hôte était très sympathique, accommodant et serviable.
La maison de vacances est très bien équipée et tous les équipements sont de haute qualité.
Les chambres ont toutes un style individuel et nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'intérieur de la maison.
Étant donné son ancienne fonction de moulin, la cuisine a une vue directe sur les engrenages du moulin, qui sont magnifiquement restaurés et donnent à cet endroit un charme particulier.
Le jardin et la terrasse sont immenses et offrent un grand espace pour se détendre ou prendre des repas à l'extérieur.
Le restaurant de l'autre côté de la rue est excellent et nous avons également pu y acheter de nombreux vins locaux différents. C'était une excellente recommandation de l'hôte.
Dans l'ensemble, notre séjour a dépassé nos attentes et nous pouvons fortement recommander cette propriété!
Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gut eingerichtet und die gesamte Ausstattung ist sehr hochwertig.
Die Zimmer sind individuell gestaltet und die Inneneinrichtung des Hauses hat uns gut gefallen.
Da das Haus früher eine Mühle war, hat man von der Küche aus einen direkten Blick auf das Getriebe der Mühle. Die Mechanik ist schön restauriert, was diesem Bereich einen besonderen Charme verleihen.
Der Garten und die Terrasse sind riesig und bieten reichlich Platz zum Entspannen oder um draußen zu essen.
Das Restaurant auf der anderen Straßenseite ist ausgezeichnet und wir konnten dort auch viele verschiedene lokale Weine kaufen. Das war eine tolle Empfehlung des Gastgebers.
Insgesamt hat unser Aufenthalt unsere Erwartungen übertroffen und wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen!
"Le Moulin des Charmes" a magnifiquement répondu à ce que nous attendions de notre projet familial de vacances. Après un périple de 5 jours à vélo le long de la Loire, il a été notre point d'ancrage pour récupérer au frais , au calme et dans un confort spacieux, de tous les efforts consentis. Tout a été fait pour rendre notre séjour très agréable. Une très bonne pioche !
Propriété très agréable, bien équipée, parfaitement propre et entretenue. Jardin immense et magnifique. Accueil très sympathique par Patrice. Nous recommandons avec plaisir ce beau gîte situé dans une superbe région.
Patrice nous accueille avec conviction dans ce lieu qui mérite son appellation. On se sent bien dans cette demeure à l'esprit préservé, meublée et décorée avec goût. Les chambres sont superbes. Le parc splendide est à l'avenant. Le jacuzzi naturel dans la Cisse qui le traverse est un vrai bonus !!!
Adresse vivement recommandée. Merci !!!

Jardin somptueux, belle et grande maison tous conforts... Nous avons passé une excellente semaine au Moulin.
