La Petite Grange is located in-between Le Mans and Tours and a few minutes away from the lovely villages of Lhomme - the capital of Jasnieres, the local white wine, and La Chartre-sur-le-Loir - famous for its connections to the 24 hour Le Mans race and it's brocantes.
The pretty cottage has a relaxing patio area overlooking the enclosed garden and field and valley behind. It's the ideal area in which to unwind during the warm weather whilst enjoying a barbecue and a glass of the local wine.

This was our 4th stay at the property over last decade. The property is set in a hamlet in the Jasnières vineyards. Host Jim and Ophelia are always friendly and helpful. The gite is well equipped with an outside area with bbq, table and chairs, sun loungers etc. The local area is great for walking and cycling, bikes can be hired at the tourist office in La Chartre-sur-le-Loir a couple of miles away. The Loir valley is beautiful, with a number of Chateaus, whilst much less busy than the Loire which is a 45 minute to a hour’s drive away, making the places like Amboise and Chenonceau within easy access.Highly recommended for a relaxing break.

This lovely gite met all our expectations; there wasn’t anything that we were unhappy with. Our little dog enjoyed running around in the enclosed and secure garden so she was happy. We appreciated the welcome gifts of homemade jam, wine, and the fresh eggs. It was located in a quiet area surrounded by fields and wildlife. Transport is needed to explore the pretty villages and get to the supermarkets or markets. We give a 10/10 for this property.

I booked this over a year in advance based on location, description and reviews--La Petite Grange did not disappoint! A perfect location to explore the Loire Valley, yet tucked away from the noise. Clear skies and stars filled the nights, and songbirds in the day. A rural hideaway that would be my retirement home if I could. The gite is quaint and cozy with all you could ask for in a holiday let. Lovely hosts, nice (delicious) welcome! I had a great walk/talk with Jim as well. The walks could be endless--fields, vineyards... Super U became our favorite for supplies and fuel--close and convenient. There's just so much to appreciate!!!

Let’s get a couple of things very clear from the start: we don’t want to write this review, and read to the end to find out why! Never mind the welcoming bottle of the superb local Jasnieres wine. Never mind the cute little fresh eggs from our hosts’ own hens on the breakfast bar. The fact is, we don’t want to mention the noise problems but here are the harsh facts.Neighbour Claude (70 this year, couple of teeth left – we know this because he smiles all the time) has a rooster. OK, when you’re inside the house you never hear it because of the double glazing…but it crows. Maybe once an hour. Some days. The 75-yr-old twin brothers who own The Other Farmhouse have hens and geese. The hens cluck when they’re laying eggs, the geese honk sometimes.The hawks fly over in the middle of the day and call from about 300 feet up.Robins and thrushes sing.One morning a woodpecker landed in the back garden. It didn’t make any noise but we did! “Wow! A woodpecker!”One day Claude replaced a pair of shutters before the winter. Hectic day that was in La Petite Grange!With this amount of insane activity, thank God we had our cottage to escape to, when we weren’t touring chateaux and local vineyards. With every single appointment, furnishing, kitchen, cool design, technology (if you must), skylights and plants, (not to mention lunch under the spreading walnut tree) the cottage is a sanctuary from the pressures of living amongst five houses on a road that no one uses except…well…us…and Claude, and Jim and Ophelie, our fun, intelligent, caring host/neighbours.See, this is why we don’t want to write this review: if you also think this sounds like Heaven, you’ll want to go there and, the next time WE want to go, YOU might have booked “our” La Petite Grange before us. We do have one criticism: the cover on the ironing-board is luxuriously thick and tends to bunch up a bit. Why were we ironing on holiday? One does like to dress for dinner at historic L’Hotel de France in the local town, La Chartre sur Loir. You wouldn’t know who you’d meet.
