Large charming house between town and countryside

Enjoyed a brilliant week in this lovely house. The swimming pool was a hit with kids and adults and plenty of outdoor space. Kitchen could do with a few more mugs and bowls when it’s a larger group. Check in and out process very easy and independent which helps when travelling a distance! A short walk from Azay le Rideau where you can enjoy restaurants and shops. Loved our stay here!

The property was huge and excelled our hopes and what the information stated. The location was perfect being close to a town with good shops and beautiful chateau. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Plenty of outdoor furniture and adequate kitchen utensils. What an amazing venue. The electric power went off and the owner was easy to contact and it was sorted all within 20 minutes. Easy parking and great communication throughout the booking and with detailed instructions to access the property. Would love to return

Lovely house in good condition with easy walk to Azay le Rideau. Very similar feedback to other reviews - noticed little things like some broken crockery and freezer door but this was no problem with spares and expected when renting a big house in summer. We were 3 families (4 children) - the kids all slept in the bunk bed room and one couple slept in the slightly separate building but this was fine. There are three bedrooms in main house close to the bunk bed room if kids are younger. Cheillé bakery was shut for August but easy to walk into Azay L R - we went into the chateau too and canoed from the river bar. And travelled further one day to Puy du Fou. A great stay!

We stayed with our children, their spouses and our grandchildren, 6 adults, 3 young children. The house was spacious. The large garden had plenty of room to play cricket, and there was room for inflatables in the pool. There were several outdoor and indoor seating areas. The kitchen was well equipped though a few more tea towels would have been useful. The house is in a fantastic location, walking distance (with young children) to the shops, restaurants and chateau of Azay le Rideau, and a boulangerie and bar/tabac in Cheille. There is parking over the road and we could always get a space. The night market in Azay on the Friday evening is worth a visit. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the house: the sofas had clearly not been moved for cleaning (filthy when retrieving a toy that had rolled underneath) and there was a half eaten chocolate bar on a shelf and a wrapper under one of the beds. We had been told that we could not arrive before 6pm as a deep COVID clean was being done. This had not happened. The downstairs toilet didn’t always flush properly. The marble slab in the living room did not seem to be securely attached and could be a hazard. We were concerned to find a cctv camera directed at the pool, as we had not been told about this and what it was being used for. Overall we enjoyed our holiday.
