We had a wonderful few days with Michele, her charming daughter Ellen and friendly hound Nelson. We loved the house and town of Pontlevoy which is brilliantly located to explore the Loire. Overall a great welcome and would recommend it to anybody.

Michele's house is in a very nice village called Pontlevoy, next to many castles and lovely villages. It has a restaurant starred in Guide Michelin, l'Auberge de l'Ecole. We went there in springtime and enjoyed the landscape as much as the carboot sales and wineries around. The house itself is charming. We stayed 1 night in the front ensuite and 2 nights in the upper room. Both are cosy and perfectly clean. The upper room was my favorite, more spacious and furnished with exquisite taste. In both rooms, the showers are of the latest technology ! You will sometimes hear the lively sound of piano and violin that Michelle plays and teaches. She herself was very welcoming, always quick to adapt and give pieces of advices about the area. The breakfast is also delicious. I will definitely come back to Michelle's place at Maison Clergeau ! La maison de Michelle est pleine de charme. Le village lui-même est très bien placé et compte un restaurant étoilé Michelin. Nous sommes restés une nuit dans la chambre du milieu et deux autres dans celle du haut. Les deux sont chaleureuses et parfaitement propres. Celle du haut avec ses poutres apparentes, très spacieuse, est ma préférée mais les deux sont bien. Et les salles de bains sont équipées de douches des plus perfectionnées ! Vous entendrez parfois le son du piano ou du violon que Michelle enseigne. Elle est très souriante et accueillante et fait en sorte que vous vous sentiez bien chez elle. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux. J'y reviendrai quand je repasserai dans la région !

I found the room cosy and clean. It looked like to photos in the presentation. The shower-room is brand new and large. I slept very well. It is very easy to park in the area: there is a small parking lot in front of the house. The only thing "negative" I would say is the proximity to a restaurant. When I opened my window, it smelled like fried food... But again, I didn't spend my night with the window opened! In May, the nights are still a bit chilly :)

Charming hostess and charming! Great location and friendly atmosphere, this room is very nice.

We kind of new what to expect from the reviews from the other review. So of the positives were that the village was small and was the postcard example of a small village in France. Some things that I would recommend would be to rent a car if you wanna see the castles of the valley. She rents outs bikes for an acceptable price, but the castles are too far away unless your are accustom to biking 25 miles a day. It's a nice little village and I would recommed it to people with thir own transportation.

Thank you to Michele and Michael for their hospitality and kindness during the month I spent at home. The room is spacious as was the ensuite bathroom and very well maintained. I had a pleasant stay at Michele and Michael and I would stay next year if the opportunity arises. See you :)

Michele is a very welcoming and warm host, very interesting person to talk to, taking very good care of their guests:) The room is in a nice bohemian home, with a lot of art, small details, personal touch. The village of Pontlevoy is an ancient place, historical, very calm, very close to many beautiful castles. The Michele and her partner provided very good recomendations about the castles worth visiting

A warm, open and generous. A beautiful musical discovery at the Abbey of the village. True moments of sharing and the desire to know more. The room is comfortable and so cozy house. Michèle has the power to make things very simple. You really feel like home. michèle thank you and Michel.

Very nice house with a beautiful garden in peace. Nothing is missing for a good stay there even has bikes available! Celine and her husband are very helpful and friendly. I recommend!

House very nice, well equipped especially to accommodate a small child (cot, enhance, bath ...). It looks larger than the pictures! Our hostess greeted us very well, to recommend!

A true haven of peace: beautiful, quiet and well equipped. So, we would love to stay longer. I recommend.

Very charming. Clean. Near the Zoo and many places to visit. I recommend.

We had a great weekend with family in an old property completely renovated recently, fully compliant to the photos. Everything is well thought out, functional, clean and new. The decor is tasteful. The house is a bit outside of where the relaxing quiet town. The garden is pleasant, shaded with fruit and it is closed (advantage if you have children or a dog that is accepted here, which is quite rare). The welcome was warm, well-made tour. The location allows many visits (for us, Beauval Zoo, Stag belling in Chambord and Cheverny Castle). I recommend this property and Celine is not immune to see us come back in some time.

Celine very warm welcome is available.

Celine was a hostess quite helpful and pleasant. The accommodation was very welcoming and comfortable, we enjoyed the quiet and the surrounding countryside. The equipment is complete and modern.

Celine thank you for your hospitality, friendliness and flexibility. We found everything we came for: the comfort of home, the quiet of the countryside and the proximity of the Loire Valley. At another time I hope. Nizar

Charming house above the dining room and kitchen, decor nice, the garden is very large, and apart from the very nearest road (long straight, the cars pass too quickly), the house is surrounded by vineyards and countryside . The night was still calm. The sleeping area of the bottom and the bathroom are actually work but for one night it's going. The 2 children's bedrooms upstairs are very nice and colorful .The cat "Treasure" is a lovely cat, very cuddly. The kitchen is very well equipped and very modern. Good reception from the cousin of Brice and easy to reach by sms.

Very sympatic hosts but the accommodation is not like the pictures.

Beautiful family home, well equipped and pleasant; very well located for visiting the castles and other activities in the area (about 30 minutes from everything); the garden is very nice and we almost forget the road!

On the way to our vacation, we stopped for the night in Contres.

Nice house very well located for visits around the castles. Hosts very helpful when we had questions. Good luck for the work. ..there is still a little work. .

We spent a night between two days at the Beauval Zoo and we would have stayed another night! The setting is lovely, the house is beautifully decorated and it really remains functional and safe despite work still in progress (even with our 3 children 3 months, 4 years and 9 years). The relationship with the host and the person who gave us the keys was very simple. We keep the address when we return to visit the castles in the area!

Pleasant country house. Very nice kitchen and living room, as well as external. The downstairs bedroom and the bathroom are in work but all that remains functional. The ideal place for a family stay in the countryside but close to many attractions (castles of the Loire) and shops in the city next. We regret there will be stayed one night and will return with pleasure.

Thank you for this beautiful home! The children were delighted to pick up the eggs in the hen house and eat a fresh egg. The deco is top and space to live is very large. It is in the countryside! The only problem is the road side and the morning rooster. Thank you for this break in our holiday road. A next. Married

Nous avons énormément apprécié ce séjour chez Anne-Cécile, le logement est spacieux avec un très beau jardin privatif. L'hôte nous a également conseillé sur les sites à découvrir dans la région. Le village est très bien situé, proche du ZooParc de Beauval et des principaux châteaux de la Loire !

Thank you for the warm family welcome and smiling!

The room complies with pictures. The setting is pleasant with nature and the pool. The Beauval Park is about 20 minutes by car. Breakfast is okay.

Had a great time and were very well received. super pleasant setting in a quiet environment. We enjoyed the decor and style of the house. This location is very well situated to discover the castles and visit the ZooParc Beauval. We will return with pleasure

We enjoyed the quiet of the place and the autonomy of the housing which is separated from the rest of the house of Nora. The bathroom is very spacious. Definitely, you can book in Nora eyes closed you will not be disappointed.

Small outbuilding around the lovely pool 20min Zoo. very friendly hosts! : D

Everything was perfect, the home nora has filled us and we had a great time at home. A place not to miss.

Le logement correspond aux photos, le quartier est très calme convient aux personnes qui aiment la campagne. Bon accueil logement très propre.

ideal accommodation for families with children

Exactly what we wanted: quiet house, clean, comfortable, located in a quiet location. very friendly welcome from Nathalie, with a bottle of wine, crisps and apple juice! We spent a great time.

welcoming host and available very quiet but household place in the house to deepen

Big house in a quiet accommodating a large family or group of friends

Large atypical house with its decor, with a beautiful garden, which we have unfortunately not enjoyed since we were there to visit the Beauval Zoo (35 minutes by car, with easy access GPS). Again thank you to Nathalie for its availability, reception (aperitif and wood stove ready for us) and simplicity. You are not at the hotel but in a very friendly person! Only downside for most of 1.80m in the bathroom but it is not insurmountable!

Thank you for this beautiful weekend. The house is like the description, very cozy, large garden (the ability to use the electric barbecue we really liked!), Quiet, ideal for relaxing ... very welcoming hosts (and smiley cat home). Thank you very much.

.

very pleasant stay in the family home of Nathalie. Nathalie and her companion made us feel welcome in their home heated with wood stove, which gives it a special charm. We took full advantage. Thank you !

Fabulous reception, the house is perfectly row. We were 4 adults and 3 children and there were in the same room for all the toys. Edna was stocked the fridge before you arrive to ensure a delicious buffet lunch with configures house and a bottle of local wine. Soap, shampoo and gel high quality and natural from aloe vera. The hosts are very helpful and very useful information. The extent of water right next to the house is very beautiful, the grocery store across the street and we were really at the heart of the Loire Chanteaux. Are we missing a pair of children's shoes and they sent us in the mail. Frankly housing and Breakfast strongly advise !!!!!!

We had a wonderful time and we're very sad to leave. Our experience in the Loire and France was greatly enhanced by the very special hospitality of Edna and Jackie who looked after our accommodations superbly and were extraordinarily friendly and helpful as well. Lots of extra attention to the extras that make a real difference. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and would recommend their place highly.

We had a very nice stay chez Edna. She and her husband were very nice and helpful in their suggestions. They were very hospitable providing us with all the food basics for their fully equipped kitchen, an apéritif in their garden, a bouquet of fresh flowers and a lovely bowl of fruit. The apartment was very comfortable and well situated for visiting the chateaux de la Loire. There is also a very convenient small grocery just across the street for fresh croissants at breakfast or other food needs. A very good choice indeed.

A very good stay in the heart of the Loire Castles! The house was big enough for the whole family, including 5 adults, a little girl of 16 months and a dog :) Newly renovated cabin clean and conveniently located (near the Beauval Zoo and Chateau de Cheverny that we wanted to visit). Edna is a host atentionnée, like her husband. We took a pleasure to share evenings with them. We therefore strongly recommend this accommodation for your next trip!

Edna gave us a great welcome .... accompanied by a delicious jam and a very good local white wine !! The cottage is very clean and is located in the heart of a charming village. We will return with great pleasure!

Monthou-sur-cher and Edna were a wonderful surprise for our family. We found the most authentic small french village, with beautiful lake and great location for the Loire visits. Living in Edna's house made us feel a little like habitats of the village. Edna is a very generous host, we had everything we needed in the house without the need to have asked. Having the epicerie just across the street was very convenient and saved us time, Don't miss the great croissants.. It was just great!

Thank you very much Edna for her home. The house is very functional and very clean. In the heart of the Loire castles, close to the Beauval Zoo. We had a great time with my wife and two daughters.

Very enjoyable. Edna greeted us warmly (thank you again for drinks!). The house is very well positioned to visit most of the castles.

Very good stay, we were greeted by the neighbor, very friendly. The housing is fully compliant to the description and quite lovely. By heat period the house remains cool. The park just next is very nice. I would recommend this accommodation without problems and I will probably myself. Thank you for this visit.

Beautiful house, lovely deco, beautiful objects chines, very spacious home and very comfortable, everything is there to feel like home! I highly recommend!

The charm of this house is obvious as soon as we return. The rooms are nice and spacious. And everything is there to make you feel at home, even a very good wine of the region! A pleasant stay and a perfect location for exploring the region.

The Close du Parc was a wonderful experience for our family. Being in the house and garden was much better than we had imagined from the pictures. We were very delighted with style and decoration and it felt as if we were staying at home. The house is not very far at all from all the touristic sites such as the chateaus. Celine and Fabrice were amazing hosts, making sure everything was OK, and that we had all the amenities and information we needed. They were extremely friendly, helpful and even left us a very good bottle of local wine! I would very much recommend staying here if visiting the Loire area.

We have not had the pleasure of meeting our host but she was very welcoming and warm. She gave us several emails to give us information at the organization of arrival / departure (shopping, check in and check out ...) but also to organize our weekend (visits castles, zoo , cellars, markets ...) and real-time information follow the storms that hit the region (photos and road info). The house is clean and charming, with a neat decoration. The rooms are very nice size and the kitchen is well equipped. A very good idea of the owner to make known the wines, bottles are made available for a very reasonable amount. In short the perfect combination for a good time with family or friends.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. We were in France for the wedding of my niece and this house was strategically placed in the midst of all our events. The house is well equipped, the beds comfortable, and there are many many sites to visit in the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The cottage is very well laid out and very pleasant. It is well located and we were able, within a radius of 40 km, discovered in family (children, parents and grandparents) and cycling the beautiful castles.

Very nice house completely renovated and pleasant, near a park and the corner places to visit. Céline is always available, attentive and did everything to make the stay goes well.

Home that perfectly meets our expectations and matching the description. very nice home. We spent 4 days in peace. Recommend it without hesitation.

Beautiful apartment renovated. Beautiful location on the Cher in a quiet and close to many attractions (20 minutes from Beauval or Chenonceaux)

The accommodation is perfectly consistent with the description, very comfortable and ideally situated for a quiet holiday while staying close to various tourist sites. The setting is beautiful, the view of the Cher and the walks that line are rejuvenating!

The accommodation was perfect: very well equipped, clean, modern, quiet. There is a large garden for children. Ideally located for visiting the Beauval Zoo. Morgane was very welcoming and very accomodating. thank you again for this stay.

Great accommodation in an incredibly beautiful place. I recommend it without any hesitation. It hurts not being able to enjoy more of the garden at dusk because at this time there are many mosquitoes. Otherwise, it said, magnificent.

Housing perfectly fits the description of the site. There are many quality equipment provided for cooking and the bedding is comfortable. The frame is very nice. It is a perfect starting point for exploring the area.

Very welcoming, and the cottage is very comfortable and conveniently located! Thank you!

Very friendly welcome. House clean and pleasant, ideally located near many attractions. Rental that we highly recommend.

Hosting Vincent was perfect, very friendly, the house perfectly matched the description. And thank you again for the two places that Vincent gave us for illuminated gardens.

A very good stay at Vincent. The house is ideally located for visiting the castles, caves, make canoe trips etc ... The description is consistent with accommodation that is spacious with a lovely garden not overlooked which is very nice. Thank you again for these 4 days and can be a next time! Clear

Very good organization so that our home is done in the best conditions. The recent property is very well maintained. The location of the village is very valuable to spend a holiday exploring the chateaux of the Loire. A very positive experience for us. Thank you to Vincent and Madalen.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de Vincent qui nous a accueilli très chaleureusement. Sa maison correspondait parfaitement aux photos exposées sur le site. Nous avons pu apprécier le calme du lieu et sa situation par rapport au Zoo Parc de Beauval que nous avons visité et nos petits-enfants ont particulièrement aimé le jardin et la piscine(URL HIDDEN)

tout s'est très bien passé, très bonne organisation pour nous aider à bien nous (URL HIDDEN) maison se trouve dans un périmètre stratégique pour visiter le zoo de Beauval, les châteaux, le futuroscope , etcs je conseille cette maison à tous ceux qui veulent passer des vacances tranquille !

Très bel espace jardin et maison bien aménagée pour les familles. Un très agréable séjour avec soleil en prime. Vincent et Madalen sont très prévenants avec les hôtes. Les équipements sont top, une ambiance chaleureuse, on s'y sent tout de suite bien.

Nous avons passé un super séjour chez vous, votre maison est très agréable, spacieuse, très fonctionnelle, et les enfants ont adoré le jardin, les jeux d'extérieur, la salle de jeu. Nous avons pu profiter du barbecue sur la terrasse ! Et nous sommes allés au Zoo de Beauval qui n'est qu'à 30 minutes de la maison. Bref, tout était parfait !!! Merci à vous et au plaisir de revenir un jour par chez vous !

La maison est à une quinzaine de kilomètres des châteaux de la Loire : Chenonceau, Cheverny... La maison est spacieuse, possède un très beau jardin, et est idéale pour les parents et leurs enfants. Notre recommandons vivement.

very nice quiet stay. Centrally located and very welcome.

The cottage is cozy, a place where you feel good and very nice home.

We were very welcomed by the owners who made our stay very pleasant. We recommend this accommodation which is very well located. We have only 20 minutes to the Beauval Zoo. Time has allowed us to enjoy the garden and the barbecue. Our kids were thrilled!

Would recommend for a family holiday.

Communication with our host was excellent. The cottage was excellent, clean, quiet, faithful to the description and close to pretty little towns. We highly recommend this house!

Nice accommodation, spacious and quiet. We had a good stay at Anne and this is a great host!

It was a nice spacious farmhouse, quiet area, with two large bathrooms. Although the tv was in french, the kids had never bored. Playing in the garden with playground, there were games and table football. Centrally located for visiting the castles and the zoo. Enjoying the garden under the fruit trees have consumed a glass of wine. Upon arrival, the beds were made. We have excellent enjoyed ourselves.

We had a great weekend in the beautiful and spacious house of Anne Bourdin. The house is away from main roads in a perfectly quiet place. A beautiful garden with orchard surrounding it, as well as children's games. The house has every comfort. We appreciated the welcome book that gives information about the history of the house and orchard trees. Bourdin Anne made us very cordially we plan to come back! A great place for a family.

Anne est très accueillante. Nous avons visité le logement ensemble. La maison et le jardin sont très bien entretenus, et tout le nécessaire pour les enfants est fortement apprécié pour nous parents ! Le quartier est très calme, il y a très peu de voisins. Et beaucoup de producteurs faisant de la vente directe à proximité. Un vrai régal ! Tout a été parfait pendant notre séjour. Merci encore à notre hôte.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis, le logement est conforme à la description, spacieux, au calme et proche du zoo de Beauval. Nous sommes ravis de notre week-end au refuge d'Anne.

Très bon séjour passé chez Anne. Maison très agréable, pleine de charme. Je la recommande vivement.

Maison très agréable dans un cadre reposant, décorée avec goût. Accueil chaleureux , hôtes attentionnés. Une belle expérience

The gite is incredible—the home and the grounds surpassed all expectations. Patricia and David were efficient and welcoming hosts, and we could not have been more pleased with our accommodations or the prime location easily accessible to all the châteaux.

The property is just beautiful. Everything was fine. We enjoyed the fireplace and board games. Great welcome. thanks again

We had the luxury of being able to stay in both, the b&b and in the Gite (which is a private 3 bed room apartment on the premises) during our stay and Les Loges de St Eloi is literally perfection. We were a group of four adults (two couples) and each of us felt as though our experience was one of the finest we've ever had when traveling. The first impression of the property is a lasting one-it is simply stunning. Patricia and David poured their heart and soul into their beautiful property and from the moment you walk in you can immediately recognize the attention to detail and feel the warmth they have created throughout their beautiful home. We all felt like we were in our own homes. When staying in the b&b, breakfast was included (and it was a fantastic spread). When staying in the Gite, breakfast was not included because there was a fully equipped chef's kitchen, however Patricia drops off complimentary baguette each morning and we also arranged for her to bring us her homemade croissants because after trying them the first morning we couldn't get enough. They were superb. The bathrooms were clean, spacious and the showers all had rain shower heads and amazing water pressure. The common areas were clean and cozy, and the pool is an incredible luxury retreat. While we were in Pontlevoy we were so comfy that we didn't even want to leave the property. We also loved chatting with Patricia and David and they made fabulous suggestions to help us decide what to do and where to eat. Patricia and David's property exceeded our expectations on every count and we can't wait to return!

great place for a stopover in peace. Owners charming and available.

Patricia & David are incredibly wonderful hosts and their artistic talents are on full display both inside and outside of this wonderful gite. They have successfully balanced high end appointments with a cozy feel appropriate for those with or without families. In our case we were taking our daughter chateaux hopping and Pontlevoy is nicely located to quickly gain access to the best of chateaux country. There is a brilliantly designed backyard and patio area where, to my delight, I was able to take advantage of the grill for steaks one evening. Beyond the patio is a fun little fairytale oasis of a yard and garden for play or reflection. In the end, it is Patricia and David's hospitality that really made the stay special, and we have no hesitation to recommend them as your jumping off point to explore the Loire valley.

We had a fantastic stay at Les Loges de St Eloi in August with our 3 children in the Gite. Everything was finished to such a high standard and the interior and exterior design is beautiful The pictures don't do justice to the gardens and grounds, which are kept beautifully. It is a lovely peaceful location, ideal for touring the many Chateau within 30 minutes drive from the accommodation. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends, even the most design/hygiene conscious. I would also like to remark what lovely hosts both David and Patricia are. They do their upmost to make you feel welcome without you feeling intruded upon. A true gem.

The accommodation was fantastic, modern and luxurious, with a very impressive and well featured kitchen. The front lawn also provided a great area to relax and play with family. The property is well located in a lovely little town and close to many of the key attractions / towns in the region. Patricia and David were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome without imposing. A highly recommended property.

everything was just great . The place looked amazing; high ceylings, beautiful furniture, most comfortable bed ever etc etc. All the small details were just great. every morning we got fresh bread and croissants. Pool was fantastic and heated. Patricia and David are the nicest people ever. Montrichard is a lovely town on the river with markets, little beach , good restaurants on a square. This is on a 10 min drive. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again. Het was allemaal fantastisch. Het was een omgebouwde schuur met prachtige hoge plafonds. Wij voelden ons meteen thuis na 5 minuten. Heerlijk verwarmd zwembad. We kregen elke ochtend verse croissants en stokbrood. David en patricia waren erg leuk. We komen zeker nog een keer terug.
