The cottage property was better than the pictures! The accommodations were very comfortable and the location was perfect being next to a forest for hiking and less than 15 minutes from Blois.
The property is located in a small village a few miles from Blois and was perfect for our trip to see the chateaus in the Loire Valley. It is set over a stream which was previously an old mill. The sound of the stream was lovely. There is a large private garden accessible. The apartment was large, with tasteful decoration. We really enjoyed our time at the property.
A really pretty cottage in a quiet village close to Blood and all the chateaus. Charming balcony overlooking a stream, comfortable bed and very clean. We had a great start 6, thank you.
A terrific property in a beautiful setting, Molineuf is a small village just 15 minutes from Blois, and located in the heart of the Loire Valley. Convenient - less than an hour - from several amazing chateaus. Well equipped and comfortable - perhaps the most comfortable need we've slept on outside or home. I highly recommend.
Excellent accommodation in a very unique setting. Easy access to tourist sites along the Loire. Groceries available 10 minutes away in Blois and a restaurant locally across the road. We had to purchase shower soap and condiments for kitchen as not supplied as would be available in a B&B.
A complete surprise .. the accommodation was more than we expected. The fittings and furniture suited us completely and the view from the balcony was magnificent. All the well known chateaux were with easy reach. We had a wonderful time. J&T xx
Beautiful gite in a wonderful location. Spacious accommodation for 2. Great balcony for al fresco dining. Outside space aplenty.
Adjacent to the Hôtel du Pont - Nice for a drink next to the river but closed Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday!
Lovely host, great communication and loads of brochures in the house. Blois about a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend.

Je précise que nous sommes hôte Premium avec une cotation de 9,6 sur 61 avis.
Il est regrettable que ce couple agé de plus de 85 ans , à qui par ailleurs nous avons rendu plein de service,(ils étaient complétement perdus dans cette période de déménagement),ait eu ce ressenti sans jamais nous en faire part.
Pour mémoire , ils sont quand même restés 4,5 mois dans ce "todis"!
Chacun se fera son opinion ....
Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Gemütlich eingerichtete Ferienwohnung mit allen was man für einen Kurzurlaub benötigt.
