• A beautiful fully equipped kitchen
• A large living room with a wood stove
• A 2-person bedroom with a queen-size bed (160 cm) with private shower room

• A large south-facing patio with a garden furniture
• Shared with the owner :
- A garden for 5 000 sqm
- A Petanque field
- A heated swimming pool of 8 x 4 m, in service from June to September

Perfect stay in the Loire countryside
Beautiful house which is a converted stable. The two bedrooms were perfect for myself, husband & 2 children (ages 4&6). The kitchen area was massive and very well appointed - we loved picking up food supplies from local market/shops, spending afternoon by pool, then having a BBQ early evening. Michel & Ann looked after us very well!

We had a wonderful week in the Loire. The gite was very clean and well equipped. There was lots of information available on local tourist attractions. The swimming pool was very welcome in the heat. Anne and Michel were excellent hosts and very friendly. A perfect relaxing holiday for either couples or families. Ideally situated for exploring the towns and chateau of the Loire.

Great countryside cottage
The house exceeded our expectations. A lovely secluded location accessible to major roads, near the Loire river with ample supermarkets and necessities nearby. Our hosts, Michel and Anne are a lovely couple. They were very helpful with recommendations about local places to dine and chateaux to visit that were less crowded than the ones on everybody’s list to see. Their English was much better than our French! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived at the house just before midnight and Michele was so understanding, and it was not an issue at all. The house is clean, had a washer (No dryer, as is typical but a drying rack and ample sunshine to dry your clothes) and a very comfortable kitchen with a full sized refrigerator. A bottle of sparkling wine awaited us upon our arrival!

Our stay at Le Clos de la Reserve was lovely. The Gite was stunning from top to bottom, extremely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The setting is perfect, surrounded by fields and woodland, ideal if looking to get away and enjoy peace and quiet. The heated pool was ideal to enjoy the sunshine and of a decent size for swimming and playing with the kids. Anne and Michel were perfect hosts, meeting us on arrival and talking us through the gite and providing all the information we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and we hope to return one day

Tranquil spot for chateaux visits
What a haven this cottage was in the mini heatwave during our visit! Was great to return to our cool gite and appealing pool after hot days out exploring chateaux. The owners were friendly, helpful and let us practise our French on them!
