Charmante Steinhütte in der Region Grand Chateaux des Loire-Tals

The location was excellent providing an aura of peace and calm. Whilst located on a very minor road we saw hardly any traffic just as Patrick described. A moment of excitement one evening when we looked out at the stars and realised we could see Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Venus (proved my the StarTracker app!).

The property is well appointed and we had everything we needed for our group of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 grandchildren aged 7 and 3. It gave the appearance of being lived in and was better equipped than anything we have experienced before. We arrived in the middle of the heatwave so the pool was excellent and met all our needs for cooling down with much jumping in by the grandchildren There was an abundance of bikes (9!) which were made use of by some in our group and also an abundance of games etc some of which I didn’t discover until the day we left!

We visited Amboise for the Son et Lumiere, Chambord and Blois which I would highly recommend especially the dragon animation by the Maison de Magique. If you can coordinate your visit when the Denis Papin Chemin de Fer is operating in Chitenay then do. Great fun for adults and children alike.

Jean Louis, Chantal and Bernadette were wonderful even taking our later than expected arrival in their stride. Pour les poulets became our phrase of the fortnight as we collected vegetable waste and stale bread to feed Bernadette’s chickens.

Of all the properties we have stayed in this is the first one I would be delighted to return to. Many thanks Patrick.

A really great family house. Plenty of space and well equipped. The outside space was excellent as was the pool. A good location to explore the Loire with plenty to visit within about 30mins drive of the property.

Centrally located in the wonderful Loire river Vally, with exquisite chateaux and many other attractions. The charming cottage is extremely well equipped and staffed with the loveliest people. When the dishwasher broke down, they brought a new one immediately and installed it themselves.

Maison de caractère très agréable, merci à Mme Rabotin pour son accueil et sa sympathie.

Good accommodation with all required facilities, with private garden area for barbecues and games, swimming pool, bicycles and games available too.
