Former barn in Chinon, near to town, forest walks & cycle paths
10/10 Excellent
"A lovely, clean and cosy house in a very peaceful area. A great base for exploring the countryside, chateaux and towns. Chinon is a few minutes away by car and has a great market on a Thursday morning, as well as two supermarkets and an amazing fortress. Communication with the owners was excellent."
"Lovely Gite, full of character in a beautiful area. Check in was easy with great communication beforehand. Super pool and undercover terrace. Plenty of space. Tranquil and excellant location for visiting the local area. Thankyou to Wessel for allowing us to use your family home. Thankyou for the wine also."
"What a wonderful stay we had! Sad that we didn’t spend more time as really was a quick stop! I rung ahead and explained we were going to be a little late for check in (we were driving back to the UK from Spain) they couldn’t have been more helpful! Lovely people, the most beautiful room (almost like a small apartment!) We had the family room which had 2 double beds and a single - for our family of 5 it was perfect! No doubt I would stay here again! Highly recommend!"
"The image used on the listing for this property is not the part of the house that you will be renting. It is very tired, with broken garden furniture. The garden is not fully enclosed. It is attached to the owner's property, which may or may not be occupied. (We were told it would not be, yet someone appeared at the end of the week). There is no freezer here, no oven, and the crockery is mainly badly chipped. There are two sets of steep stairs with no handrails, unsuitable for small children or elderly visitors. Worst of all there are no towels, no teatowels, no dishcloths, and bizarrely although the beds have bottom sheets there are no duvet covers at all. We contacted the management company Belvilla for assistance which was useless, the mobile no for the caretaker who did not respond, and the owner whose email was in the folder, (bounced back) and Vrbo about this, none of whom responded. Chinon is a lovely area, the garden delightful and the area very peaceful but stay somewhere else. We felt that the owner was charging way too much for the accommodation and will be asking for a partial refund "
