Great family vacation!

The property was exactly what we wanted. It was a great home base after seeing the local chateaus and towns. We would go out in the morning and come back with the kids to play in the pool, and grill outside and enjoy the property. While out a bit on its own (which was perfect for us to relax), it was still close enough to a good grocery store (5 minutes) and all the main attractions (Amboise 25 minutes), Tours (15 minutes), Chateaus (between 25 and 45 minutes). As everyone has said, Valerie and Bruno were exceptional hosts, even providing fresh eggs from their chickens. It's always a toss up with some of the VRBO properties, but this was as advertised. Thanks for hosting at such a great property!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time, we were very sad to leave. Valerie and Bruno are lovely hosts, very welcoming. The property was so clean and comfortable. I'd recommend the property on the basis of the en-suite shower alone! I wondered what it would be like, given that it is on a crossroads, but really, that was never an issue. Azay-sur-Cher is a charming village, enjoyed spending time by the river Cher as well as exploring some of the beautiful places nearby, especially Beauval Zoo. Many thanks for our stay, we had a great time.

A perfect gem in the heart of Loire Valley!

Our family of 4 (including two teens) absolutely loved staying in Valerie and Bruno’s lovely country home. The setting and location were perfect for us, as we could easily drive into Cher for the bakery, or over to Amboise for meals, shopping, groceries. We toured the castles and quaint towns all day every day and came home to relax with a glass of wine outside and ate dinner under the grape arbor. Everything in this newly renovated farmhouse is absolutely pristine and immaculately clean (something I appreciate as a neat freak myself) and Valerie and Bruno have thought of every single detail to make their guests comfortable! They were also very accessible as they live very nearby and responded to questions immediately. Highlights: Chenonceau, Chambord, the Sunday market in Amboise, date night dinner at the fabulous (yet oddly inexpensive) Michelin Star restaurant La Boulaye (they accommodated me as a vegetarian and gave me the best meal I’ve enjoyed in years). We could have happily stayed a whole week here. Thank you Valerie and Bruno for your kindness and hospitality!

Loire for four

Our party comprised one 60+ couple who are familiar with France accompanying another 60+ couple on their first visit. Valerie's and Bruno's cottage at Azay sur Cher was the perfect base for a week in the Loire under perfect skies. Our hosts were also most welcoming, so much so that even the car seemed to know it was somewhere special😉. The cottage is all on one level and beautifully appointed. Entering through a very modern kitchen opening onto a spacious dining room & lounge there are two very comfortable bedrooms, each with its own shower/bathing & toilet facilities. An outside terrace has a table for six under a wicker-type sun screen at which we ate all our meals. Two supermarkets are less than 5 minutes drive away and the village of Azay has two boulanger/patisserie, the one of which we frequented was excellent. As a base from which to explore les Chateaux de la Loire, it could not be bettered. Chenonceau is virtually on the doorstep. Azay les Rideau and Vallencay about half an hour's drive away and Chambord at twice the distance was no hassle. All in all we had a very happy week touring, and probably eating and drinking too much. 5-star plus is our rating.

An Awesome Vacation Spot

We have just returned from a 15 day stay at The Clos des Buis and it couldn't have gone any better. We were warmly greeted by Bruno and Valérie upon our arrival. Their kindness, warmth, and responsiveness to any need were a big part of what made our trip so enjoyable. The gÎte is conveniently located near many of the chateaux including Chenonceau and Villandry and a 20 minute drive to beautiful Amboise and Tours. Only three kilometers from the Cher River and Azay-sur-Cher, where we could drop in at the local patisserie or take long walks along the banks of the Cher River on a path dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians were highlights. The region offers so many fun opportunities to learn about history, canoe the rivers, or bike along their many bike paths. The region is beautiful, dotted with quaint villages, fields, and forests. The recently and tastefully remodeled farmhouse was very comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with anything that you might need to prepare a meal. One of the important issues for us when visiting France is always the size of the bed since my husband is 6'5". The master bedroom has a king sized bed and an excellent mattress. Each bedroom has shutters that close and the master bedroom also has blackout curtains. We slept better here than we sleep in our own home. I highly recommend a stay at this location. Valérie and Bruno are lovely people who are very good at making their guests feel welcome. Bruno and Valérie, thanks for a lovely stay. Patricia and Greg

Malgré un week-end très pluvieux le logement correspondait à nos attentes. Le gros problème c'est que les propriétaires qui logent côté ont passé les deux jours à nous surveiller " comment garer les voitures! voir si nous sommes pas trop nombreux! surveiller pour voir si on utilisait pas un branchement interdit." Il faut bien comprendre que cela est très désagréable à vivre.

Super schönes Haus mit Pool

Das Ferienhaus mit dem Pool ist richtig schön und komfortabel. Der Pool ist zur Alleinnutzung und hat uns richtig Spaß gemacht. In dem Innenhof geht immer ein leichter Wind was bei dem warmen Wetter sehr angenehm war. In dem alten Bauernhaus sind die Wände sehr dick und entsprechend bleibt es innen angenehm kühl. Es ist sehr gut und hochwertig ausgestattet und schön eingerichtet. In der Umgebung konnten wir Radfahren, zum Schloss Chenonceau paddeln, klettern gehen und richitg gut Essen gehen. Bruno hat uns immer mit Tipps versorgt. Ich würde es jedem empfehlen.

Séjour parfait en famille

Nous avons passé une super semaine avec notre fille de 15 ans dans le gite de Valérie et Bruno (beaucoup trop grand pour 3, le gîte peut en accueillir 8 sans soucis). Tout était parfait. La piscine à eau salée, toute récente est très grande, toujours à bonne température et très agréable. Le gîte est comme neuf, très fonctionnel, et très bien équipé. Valérie et Bruno on pensé à tout , mêlés aux petits détails du quotidien qui manque souvent dans les gîtes : maniques, ciseaux, cure-dents , équipements pour le BBQ et ils s’assurent que vous ne manquez de rien à votre arrivée : sel , poivre, huile d’Olive , café…. La localisation est super pour visitez les châteaux, assez centrale, proche de Chenonceau, Amboise, Villandry et Azay-le-Rideau. À moins d’une heure de Blois et Chambord. Vélo et Kayak à proximité. Et les conseils Restos de Valérie et Bruno sont à suivre les yeux fermés : le restaurant La Boulaye à proximité du gîte est fabuleux. Merci aussi pour le Comptoir de Brune (salon de thé), nous y avons passé un agréable moment (et on serait passé à côté sans le tuyau)
