Lovely secluded house.

We had a wonderful week here in November. A beautiful, quiet setting in a large woodland clearing. Lots of wildlife, especially deer. The house is warm, comfortable and well equipped. It's an excellent base for exploring the many château, the lovely city of Blois, and the brilliant zoo at Beauval. We plan to visit again.

An enchanting cottage

A beautiful cottage nestling in a clearing in the forest. Peace and tranquillity abound. Even though the cottage is away from it all it is ideally placed for visiting all the glorious chateaux in the area. The property is well equipped and tastefully furnished making it a real home from home. We recommend it to anyone wishing to visit this area for either a long or short stay.

Cosy home away from home

Everything was as described. Directions to the property were very clear. Check-in was easy and the property manager who greeted us and the owner who arrived the second day of our stay were both very kind. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and provided linens were clean. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and was clean on arrival. Spiderwebs were abundant throughout the house which is the only reason I can’t give 5 stars for cleanliness, however, this is as expected for a farmhouse and didn’t really bother us at all. We enjoyed our stay very much despite the rainy weather, which limited our ability to fully enjoy the garden. The location was very convenient to visit multiple beautiful chateaux in the region. Our children loved the two loft areas for sleeping and relaxing. We enjoyed seeing deer each evening we returned and even saw a sounder of boar run through the field at dusk one night. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I was in the area.

Perfect cottage in the Loire

We really enjoyed our stay in Fontaines-en-Sologne. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you would need and also has a barn area with a table tennis table, badminton and boules which we enjoyed playing. The gite is in a really peaceful location but it is close enough to the village and attractions. We particularly enjoyed the Grand Chambord natural swimming pool so would highly recommend this on a hot day. We also visited Beauval Zoo and Cheverny Chateau which were both excellent. Both Mme Louchard and Marie Claude were very welcoming and were easy to communicate with. We would definitely return!

Perfect French cottage in the middle of the Loire valley

This cottage couldn’t have been more perfect. The serene, peaceful location is close enough to drive to town but completely private backed by beautiful pasture and forest. The host was very responsive and friendly. The location is central to get to anywhere in Loire valley or Paris in 2 hours. Chateau chambord is only 15 mins from this cottage. While the location does require renting a car to get around, it is well worth the peace and privacy you have. You truly feel like a local staying here! Would definitely go back. Inside clean and well appointed And so beautiful!

Highly recommend

We had an amazing stay at Mme Sol’s house over Christmas. Unfortunately car trouble meant we were without transport but we spent the time relaxing, enjoying the full kitchen, comfortable lounge, fireplace, games, table tennis and badminton. The house is beautifully furnished, warm and fully equipped - everything has been thought of. Mme Sol and Mme Louchard checked in to make sure we were OK and provided advice and also bikes so we could travel to the village. We wished we could have stayed longer - maybe next time!

A lovely hidden cottage, yet close to all the Chateau and attractions. Very quiet and peaceful, with a well planned kitchen. I would say basic French is essential, but all the locals and the key holder were very patient and friendly, tolerating our rusty school French. We hired bikes from Jadi Vert in Bracieux, no english but very friendly and cheap bicycles that we used to cycle into Bracieux with our children on quiet roads to buy our bread and croissants every morning. We were unlucky with the weather, but the wood burner was an absolute joy at the end of a busy day sight seeing. This cottage was excellent value for money and its rustic charm and location near an authentic French village not over run with tourists (like us! ) Was perfect! Wifi worked but fluctuated - fine if you are holidaying not working. Beds firm but comfortable. Thank you Madam we loved our stay.

mooi huis en omgeving, maar heel warm

We hebben genoten van onze vakantie en de vakantiewoning. Het is een fijne en goed ingerichte woning, in een hele stille en mooie omgeving. We hebben de eerste dagen mooie fietstochten kunnen maken, maar daarna werd het veel te warm. We dachten een vakantiewoning met airconditioning gehuurd te hebben, maar dat betrof een kleine mobiele unit op één van de slaapkamers bovenin de woning. Daarom zijn we eerder vertrokken dan gepland.
