This inviting, nicely furnished home was conveniently situated near food stores, shopping and restaurants. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The kitchen was perfect for cooking with everything needed for making meals. The fireplace looked inviting online , but can’t be used. Being located in town on a one way street meant parking could be challenging. The host was friendly and helpful throughout the process.
This is a lovely older property which is really well placed in Tours. We walked everywhere and loved Tours. Great choice of restaurants in both the old and new town.
Spent seven weeks in total in the house while attending RWC 2023 so probably had a few minor issues that short-term stay people would not have. Our host Marie was excellent and sorted any issue as quickly as she could. She made us feel very welcome and showed great patience.
A couple of negatives - parking is tough, tight and open to all so had to park a few streets away on occasion. Smaller cars better for this. Internet very good upstairs not so downstairs and needed a booster which Marie sorted.
Back to the positives - No.5 bus at end of street brings you to main TGV station and is then only an hour to Paris - we also travelled to Bordeaux and Nantes for matches and all ran smoothly. Tours a smashing place to base yourself for a French exploring holiday. Airport a 20 minute drive with easy access by car and tram (10 mins walk). Our family able to visit which was great.
Became our French home from home and we were well looked after by Marie.
Was there with my grandson , The house and Marie was fantastic , u can walk everywhere so u do not really need a car .Hopefully will be back next year ……Stephen
Great place to stay. Easy to walk everywhere we wanted. Only 20 minutes to the SNCF for Château visits (recommend a 3-day train pass for up to 5 travellers).
The property was well represented by the photographs.
The rooms,facilities, garden were excellent and comfortable. Marie was flexible and welcoming on check in.
Location is in a quiet area and a short walk to many bars/restaurants while shops for necessities nearby. Would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in Tours.
The parking was a little tight, but what a cool house! Our hostess Maria was amazing and spoke great English and knew all of the best places to go. No AC so it was a little warm upstairs, but not too bad. Location for stores was great
Lhôtesse a répondu à tous nos besoins. Sa gentillesse et son professionnaliste sont excellents. Épicerie et boulangerie à 5 minutes de la maison est très pratique pour faire les repas. Chambres nombreuses et propres. Le grand salon est pratique pour les soirées entre amis. Accès à la cour pour lapéro.
zentral gelegen, Busanschluss, Supermarkt, Bäcker und Fleischer sehr nah, alles was man braucht im Haus, kleiner Garten, sehr idyllisch- leider nicht das entsprechende in unseren Aufenthalt
Grande maison bien située avec tous les services à proximité (boulangerie, épicerie, boucherie, etc.), très fonctionnelle. Environnement calme et sécuritaire.
Très bon séjour dans cette jolie maison très bien située, calme et aménagée avec goût. Maison très bien équipée, très bonne literie.
J’y reviendrai avec grand plaisir.
Nous avons passé une semaine avec deux enfants de 6 et 1 ans dans cette belle maison, très bien située dans Tours, à 10 min à pied des commerces de bouche. Petit jardin/terrasse très agréable, quartier très paisible, décoration soignée, nous gardons un très bon souvenir de cette expérience à Tours. Nous avons été très bien accueillis, il ne manquait rien lors de notre arrivée et nous n’avons jamais eu de problème pour garer la voiture dans la rue. Nous recommandons vivement, en famille ou entre amis.
This is a great place. Close to everything with a great kitchen and garden seating area. Really felt at home. Close to markets, boulangerie, restaurants, and shopping. Good on-street parking. The hosts were nice, helpful and communicated really well. We felt very welcomed.
Très bon séjour
Maison très confortable et bien située au calme avec des petits commerces de proximité
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir

L`extérieur (jardin) n`était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes, le BBQ est au charbon de bois au lieu d`être au gaz propane, donc beaucoup plus long pour faire la cuisson extérieur. Table d`extérieur n`était pas en bon état.
Stayed 12 nights in May 2019

un excellent séjour dans un lieu à connaître
Nous avons profité d'un accueil chaleureux. Ce lieu est très bien situé par rapport au centre ville. La maison est conviviale, joliment aménagée.
