Perfect for families

We were travelling with a disabled grandma, who enjoyed the ground floor room, grandad, son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons. We had a brilliant time, the house and pool were perfect! Lovely comfortable beds and everything you need for a really lovely family holiday.

The Squirrels

Despite mediocre weather we had a very pleasant stay in a well-equipped house. Especially the quiet and secluded garden and terrace were a plus, as well of course as the location, perfect to explore the Loire Chateaux.

A lovely place to stay in the Loire Valley

A really practical house for a family stay. In two halves, split by the large kitchen /diner/lounge, young children and parents can have one side, with generous bathroom provision, and grandparents can have the other. A lovely and very safe pool was a great hit. Our second stay, and we'll go again!

Lovely home to relax with the family

We were looking for a family friendly home with a pool to escape to for a week following a stressful couple of years, and that’s exactly what we found in Cheille. Everything was easy, the weather great and we enjoyed walking in the forest, visiting Azay Le Rideau, Chinon, Tours and Langeais. We’d recommend Les Ecureuils to anybody looking for a similar break.

Accommodation layout a little unusual, but oodles of space and all necessary facilities. Hosts are a delightful and friendly couple who live a short walk away. Any issues were resolved very quickly and plenty of helpful advice and recommendations. Perfect location for visiting the Loire Valley and all the main towns and chateaux.

In the heart of Touraine

A warm welcome from Laurence with all the information about the house and the surrounding area. Very spacious house in a rural location, which is ideal for two families or friends, as there are two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms at opposite ends of the building. The large combined living and dining room with open kitchen also offers enough space and seating for the specified number of people. We really liked the combination of the old building with modern elements, the equipment is very extensive and we didn't feel cold even in autumn, which is not a matter of course in old buildings. Shops, petrol station and restaurants can be found in Azay-le-Rideau, which can be reached by car in less than ten minutes. The number of excursion options is huge and there should be something for every preference. We felt very comfortable here and spent a great week in the heart of Touraine. Au revoir!

A great place to stay and relax with many beautiful chateaus nearby

We arrived later in the evening than expected so didn’t meet our host until the following morning, but access to the property was easy and straightforward. The directions to the property were easy to follow. The house was clean and well equipped and the pool was wonderful to relax in after a day sightseeing. We were a party of 3 adults in a house for 10 people so we didn’t use all the bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious and there were 3 bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom was cool and easily accessible being in what must have been the original house. However, I think a young family may struggle with the open tread staircase off the living room and up to the first floor bedroom. Again 3 adults so not a problem for us. Laurence our host was able to give recommendations for bike hire, chateaux and restaurants to visit. One other thing to note is the security deposit in cash, euros, to be given on arrival, this was returned in full when we departed, but we then had lots of euros to convert back to our own currency on return.

Beautiful property with super facilities including parking, small pool, large outside terrace and a very large kitchen and dining area - perfect for large groups but with well designed areas for more privacy (with bedrooms on either side of the property). Laurence and Yannick are delightful hosts and live close by, and sorted out a very minor problem within minutes. The kitchen is well designed and easy to cook meals for a large group. With two bedrooms on either side of the property it is great for two families but the shared bathroom on one side of the upper house means it is better for parents and children to share (no real privacy for two sets of adults to use). The outside space is lovely, and we sat around the pool most afternoons (pool is small but perfect for cooling off). There is a cycle path just up from the house which takes you into nearby Azay which is stunning (around 10-15 minutes on a bike). Would highly recommend the house and would love to return to this beautiful area.

June 2019

The property came up to our expectations. We had rented such accommodation before in France and this one was one of the best. It’s location was exactly what we wanted. Easy access to the Loire Château and wineries. The property was also easy to find when traveling to it from Paris, as we were. We were only 4 people in a property that obviously can house more. But all the facilities we wanted were available. The property is surrounded by a large garden with a good sized pool. Very rural which was what we wanted. As the weather was so good we only eat outside from the barbecue. Never used the cooker. There were some very minor issues but as the owner lives at the end of the road these were resolved quickly and easily Perfect place for a holiday

Séjour en Touraine

Très belle région des châteaux de la Loire. Villandry, Langeais, Chinon, Azay le Rideau, le charme ne manque pas. Facile à circuler en vélo. Nous avons eu pluie et neige. Alors nous avons fait quelques visites de caves de producteurs de vin. De très belles tables de restaurant. La semaine ne suffit pas à tous les fréquenter. Le gîte est très agréable et facile. Proche des bois. Piscine non utilisée car novembre, mais en été, sa situation proche de la maison est un atout. Laurence est prévenante, et garantit un séjour dans les meilleures conditions.

Weekje Frankrijk

We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad! Prachtig huis, heel erg ruim. Qua schoonmaken kan het naar ons inziens wat beter. Veel spinnenwebben. Keuken erg uitgebreid en van alle gemakken voorzien! Zwembad en tuin ook erg mooi. Huis ligt wel iets afgelegen (wat andere huizen in nabije omgeving maar voor bakker etc. echt een auto nodig). Voor rust zoekers ideaal! In de omgeving wel erg mooie dorpjes en plaatsen te bezoeken. Ontzettend veel kastelen en wijnboeren in de omgeving.

Le description sur l annonce Abritel est bien conforme à la réalité. L emplacement proche d Azay-le-Rideau et de Tours permet des excursions de grande qualité. La piscine meme si pas très grande est certainement un plus pour se reposer. La disponibilité de la propriétaire en cas de question fut fort apprécié. Attention aux moustiques tigres.
