Thank you Anne we had a fantastic week. A great setting with all we needed to relax. Facilities and attention to detail were excellent. The balcony over the river was a lovely place to sit and watch the kingfisher, heron and dragonflies, a parasol would be a great addition so it could be enjoyed in the afternoon and early evening sunshine. We hope to return.

What a stunningly beautiful setting. It’s like being *in* a painting by John Constable. The river and surroundings are just exquisite. The house is beautifully furnished too. The owner greeted us personally and was warm and kind, and the checking out was very smooth. As others have said, it’s not for the elderly or for young children because the stairs to the bedrooms are effectively a ladder. It’s an old building, so inevitably quite a few dusty corners and the oven is small as is the dishwasher.

A little paradise. Anne was really kind and helpful. We loved the pool during the heatwave and enjoyed some trips on the boats. The mill has everything you could need. We chose to not have a car as we needed enforced rest. This place is lovely and relaxing. It is possible but next time we will bring a car so we can see all the sights. We will definitely return.

Ankommen und erholen! Wir hatten eine wunderbare, surreal schöne Woche in der Moulin du Breuil. Ein magischer Ort direkt am Fluß Indre - fernab von Alltagsstress. Eine charmante, urige Mühle in einem 100 ha großen Park erwartete uns. Die beiden Gastgeber muss man einfach gern haben! Mit ihrer herzlichen Art waren sie jederzeit für uns da, falls wir Fragen hatten oder Ausflugstipps benötigten! Natur pur, Kultur, Shopping in der schönen Stadt Tour - es ist diese Mischung, die diesen Ort so einzigartig macht. Und natürlich die Menschen, die diesen Ort zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht haben und ihn Stück für Stück liebevoll aus dem Dornröschen-Schlaf geweckt haben. Wir werden wiederkommen im nächsten Jahr!

Getting away from it all

So secluded and so quiet, yet near shops for the essentials. Ideally located for cycling, chateaux visiting, wine tasting or just lounging on the terrace, a bit of swimming and a bit of baby-foot (table football).

Relaxing week by the water

We loved our very relaxing week at the Moulin. We didn't do much apart from paddling in the river on the canoe, playing in the pool and resting on the terrace. The cottage is well equipped and very spacious. We also loved meeting the resident animals.

A very tranquil location

A real wow location, in a characterful old water mill. A wonderful piece of France, with plenty too see, eat and drink within an easy drive along pot-hole free roads. The Domaine de Cande was especially interesting, the location of the Traitor King's (Edward VIII) marriage to Mrs Simpson by a corrupt clergyman in 1937.

Moulin in a beautiful location

Lovely property, beautifully located on the river. It is well equipped, with everything that we needed. The rooms are spacious, particularly the master-bedroom. It was lovely to sit on the decking in the evening, watching the sun over the water. The only slight downside was mosquitos - we needed lots of bug spray to keep them away.

Amazing week at the Moulin

Our family of four finished off a month of travels in Europe with a week at La Breuil and it was perfect. The setting is beautiful and the moulin had everything we needed. Anne responded immediately to any questions. We enjoyed boating on the l’Indre River, exploring nearby towns and chateaux, cooling off in the pool, and eating delicious French cheese and bread! We hope to return to the Loire again and would highly recommend this gem of a place.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay here! The terrace over the river is wonderful - it gets the late afternoon sun, and is perfect for chilling out with a glass of wine. The building stays cool despite the very hot summer temperatures. The master bedroom is huge, with a great view. The location is a great base to visit the castles west of Tours (e.g. Villandry), but also to have lots of space to yourself for peace and quiet.

Wonderful Stay

A fantastic week in Monts. The Moulin was ideal: tranquil river location, which was perfect for swimming kayaking and paddle boarding on the river. The children has an amazing time. Add to that the swimming pool, table tennis and table football and they had so much to do! Guests should be aware the stairs in the moulin are very steep - entirely manageable, but steep! The only other point to note is the oven is limited, so Cooking plans are best made around gas hob options. In summary, a great spot supported by a welcoming and very helpful host, Anne.

A fascinating and quirky property

What a situation and what a great conversion to a holiday let. We were greeted by the host, who had already lit the wood burner, this was most welcome as the weather was cold also left us a bottle of fizz. We did find the stairs a little daunting but this was down to the fact we were all in our late 70's early 80's. The main bedroom is vast, triple aspect with great views across the river which is also a bird watchers delight. A great property in an amazing location.

Perfect property by the river

We have stayed in many French properties and this one is unique. Very well equipped, very clean, and the large wood burner kept the whole house warm in late October. Unlimited logs supplied and a lovely bottle of bubbly on arrival. Host met us on arrival and was very reassuring as there was severe flooding the week we arrived. We spotted deer in the fields as well as kingfishers, cormorants and a large heron. Unfortunately no fishing as the river was very high and very fast. Incredible chateaus are easy to get to - Chateau D’usse and Chenonceaux. Chinon worth a visit as well as local markets. Lovely 15 minute walk from the property to the gate through the cyclamen covered private woods. Would love to come back
