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.
Maison très agréable, nous étions 8, avec 4enfants qui ont apprécié la table de tennis de table, babyfoot, filet badminton et l'espace extérieur.
Nous avons profité de la region

A la fin de votre séjour, vous nous avez confié votre souhait de revenir pour un prochain séjour. C'est très gratifiant pour nous de savoir que la maison vous a enchanté ! Merci !
Maison Solognote typique, très agréable, un peu sombre, dans un bel et grand écran de verdure, au cœur d’un village calme avec commerces et même pharmacie
Nous étions sept personnes en tout, la maison est accueillante avec une grande jardin. 150 m de Château de Fougères, au cœur de région plein de châteaux et des villes et villages de moyen age.
Nous pouvons recommander à tout le monde.

Bonjour, avant votre arrivée, vous aviez une petite appréhension sur votre séjour dans notre maison. Votre enthousiasme nous fait vraiment plaisir après ces 15 jours passés.
Une maison magnifique et merveilleusement située à moins d’une demi-heure en voiture de tous les châteaux de la Loire, du zoo de Beauval etc. Des hôtes charmants.
