Exceptional

We had an excellent stay at this charming and sophisticated property. As other reviewers have noted, the location is fabulous for exploring the area of the Loire near Amboise. The house is a beautifully renovated historic outbuilding on a large estate; the property was very well equipped with thoughtful attention given to every detail. But most importantly, the owners are exceptional hosts, and they went "over and above" to ensure that we had a satisfying and comfortable stay. We highly recommend this lovely home in a stunning location.
a fantastic property, which lived up to the advert! beautiful house in an amazing location, the standard of the fit out and facilities are first class. the hosts are very helpful. we had a fantastic break.Clos de Venise is ideally located for the Chateaus and vinyards. My daughter and her husband loved the Aquarium and the zoo.
Wonderful stay in a luxurious beautiful property. Very well equipped As others have said, the photos don’t do it justice. Francine and Claude are so charming and welcoming, always available if needed. We loved the tomatoes from the garden, the flowers and jam, thank you Jacky! And of course the wine. Great area for cycling, and lots to see and do within less than an hour. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay in the Loire for a family of 4. The house is a perfect mix historic but with modern updates. Very comfortable and well appointed. The design decisions were thoughtfully made. Beautiful windows and doors and amazing views. Claude and Francine were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. It was the highlight of our trip to France.

It was a privilege to stay at the clos. The property is a beautifully managed winery and the hosts are very warm and welcoming. They live on the estate and graciously share their knowlege. Our only suggestions would be some fans or dehumidifier for use when it is very hot. While the home stays cool if the doors are closed, it also gets damp since it is stone. Many thanks to Claude and Francine for their hospitality.
An immaculate property, in a beautiful region. Francine and Claude are impeccable hosts, welcoming and incredibly helpful. Countless wonderful locations to visit and enjoy.

Beautifully restored house with high-end equipment
We spent a wonderful week in Clos de Venise. The house is perfectly located for exploring the region. The surrounding of the house with its garden and the vineyard is exceptional! The owners are very welcoming but not intrusive at all.

Very high quality of fixtures and fittings in a splendid barn conversion - absolutely delightful! The location is splendid, surrounded by vineyards which you can walk around, and a delightful garden. Very handy for exploration of the Loire Valley, its towns and chateaux, and of course wineries. The hosts, Francine and Claude, could not be more friendly and welcoming. Usually living in the main house next door, they were away for much of the time that we stayed, but support is available if needed - we didn’t. There are a few internal steps to the ground-floor bedroom, so may not suit from an accessibility point of view if that were an issue. Otherwise - perfect. And the wine from surrounding vines is superb!

A Haven in the Loire Valley
Clos de Venise is a truly lovely place to stay in the glorious Loire Valley. The house is warm - very important in December - very comfortable, beautifully appointed and located in a fabulous location. Claude and Francine are tremendous hosts - warm, friendly, welcoming and keen to help us enjoy our holiday. We spent a happy relaxing time here and visited a few of the enchanting Chateaus in the region.

Dear Sue and Bruce,
Thanks a lot for your very kind appreciation. it will be helpful for future guests, especially if they hesitate to come in winter !!
Our best wishes for a happy new year.
Francine & Claude
The property was ideal for our trip - bigger than it appears on the photos, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden was a delightful place to relax and our hosts were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive.
The location of the property was excellent with two restaurants and a small shop within walking distance.
There is also lots to discover in the wider area - gardens, chateaux, markets and restaurants....

If it had been possible to stay longer, then this would have been great. It is the best holiday location ever. The place was impeccable, very friendly welcome, accessible yet respectful of our privacy. Fresh vegetables from the garden, even suggestions for recipes and it was just delightful! And great views from the house and garden unto the valley!

Francine and Claude were perfect hosts, even providing toys for our 3 and 5 year old.
They knew we would be hosting a family dinner for the holidays with family who lived nearby and provided us with all the necessary tableware. They even decorated! The property is gorgeous and a short ride from Tours. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay, it was above and beyond expectations!

We are so sorry for our oversight and thank you for your good comments. We really appreciated your stay and were happy that you could have your family meetings in our house. Do not hesitate to come back, you will be warmly welcome.
Francine & Claude
A beautiful home in a great location, made even better by the hosts who did everything they could to welcome us, including going out of their way to fit stair gates for our toddlers. The pictures don’t do the place justice as little things like top quality appliances really set it apart from other properties we have stayed at.

Absolutely fantastic holiday!
We stayed here in the beginning July and at arrival were greeted by the very frendly hosts. As we entered the accomodation we noticed that the house is even more beautiful than expected from the pictures: spatious, beutifully renovated and furnished.
We enjoyed every morning breakfast outside on the terras and every evening also with some wine and snacks. What a vacation!
We will definitely return...

This is a brilliant property. It’s an old vineyard house, stylishly converted and very well equipped. The description and photos are accurate. There is a lovely garden in front with chairs and loungers, which sadly we were unable to use because of the persistent rain. Claude and Francine are the best of hosts, welcoming, friendly but discreet.
All in all, a great choice for a week in the Loire Valley
Everything was fabulous! Great, friendly and welcoming hosts, and perfect setting for a relaxing week in the Loire. Thank you so much Claude and Francine for welcoming us to your home so generously. Great location for exploring the Loire valley, main challenge was pulling ourselves away from the patio view every morning. House was perfect, with everything you could possibly need!
Thank you!

You will be welcome if you want to come back.
Kind regards from Francine & Claude
Our stay was more than we could ever imagine! We appreciated everything from Claude and Francine’s warm hospitality to staying in a newly renovated cottage situated in a vineyard (yes, just like in a movie!), and central to all the attractions you visit the region for. The clarity of communication during reservation, prior to our arrival and throughout our stay was exemplary. We felt we visited a family, and are planning to return soon. Many thanks!

Claude and Francine
This lovely property completely lived up to expectation and was even bigger upstairs than the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the garden and view (shady when needed) especially the birds, including redstarts and barn owls. The village is very handy and we made good use of the grocery shop (fresh bread) and the cafe which was excellent value for morning coffee or traditional lunch. Many places to visit nearby whether by bike or in the car, however we were quite content to enjoy the surroundings from the garden. Thank you.
We had a short (too short) one week stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing, in the middle of the vineyards. The property was very tastefully restored, and the inside is mixing touches of the past and many contemporary upgrades. Yet, it is just minutes away from the charming flare of Amboise, and from the bustling Tours. Well located if one wants to go to Chambord (1 hour drive), or Chenonceau (30 minutes). The owners are very friendly, and ready to help and provide some recommendations. We had a lovely time. Definitely a place to come back to.
Absolutely perfect in every way! Where to begin.... inside the pink rose wrapped house was everything you could ask for, comfortable and cool, much bigger than the photos suggest. The sunfilled garden was beautiful, plenty of furniture from which to enjoy the magical views and relax after cycling. Claude and Francine are perfect hosts..... thank you again!!
