Fantastic house and pool in lovely location

Enjoyed a brilliant week in this lovely house. The swimming pool was a hit with kids and adults and plenty of outdoor space. Kitchen could do with a few more mugs and bowls when it’s a larger group. Check in and out process very easy and independent which helps when travelling a distance! A short walk from Azay le Rideau where you can enjoy restaurants and shops. Loved our stay here!

The property was huge and excelled our hopes and what the information stated. The location was perfect being close to a town with good shops and beautiful chateau. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Plenty of outdoor furniture and adequate kitchen utensils. What an amazing venue. The electric power went off and the owner was easy to contact and it was sorted all within 20 minutes. Easy parking and great communication throughout the booking and with detailed instructions to access the property. Would love to return

Lovely stay

Lovely house in good condition with easy walk to Azay le Rideau. Very similar feedback to other reviews - noticed little things like some broken crockery and freezer door but this was no problem with spares and expected when renting a big house in summer. We were 3 families (4 children) - the kids all slept in the bunk bed room and one couple slept in the slightly separate building but this was fine. There are three bedrooms in main house close to the bunk bed room if kids are younger. Cheillé bakery was shut for August but easy to walk into Azay L R - we went into the chateau too and canoed from the river bar. And travelled further one day to Puy du Fou. A great stay!

Lovely family house

This spacious, comfortable house was perfect for our extended family of 9. It is well equipped with everything we needed, lots of seating , great pool, plenty of outdoor space. It is not luxurious but is family friendly with nothing too fragile or easily damaged. We had no issue with cleanliness. The area is lovely with lots to see and do within easy reach. Azay le Rideau is a 10 minute stroll with its range of shops and restaurants. We did not meet Cecile but communication with her was prompt and helpful. All in all we great time and I would certainly recommend this house.

Great for a large group

There was more than enough room for sleeping for our group of 8. The kitchen was small but there was an open flame bbq fireplace that made for a great dinner when all of the local restaurants were closed. Strange hours in the neighboring village of Azay de Richeau. Our house was a very short 1/2 mil walk into the village. The house seemed to be several smaller apartments blended together which gave the house a strange flow. Plenty of refrigerator space and freezer too (for making ice). No air conditioning but plenty of fans to use. Very centrally located in the Loire valley to see wineries and cities and hot air balloon rides. It’s located on a busy street so sleeping with the windows open was a problem for one bedroom. Garage space for one car and a large lot nearby for others. It could use a little TLC in that the decor was bland and outdoor areas could use some sprucing up. We did not pay for access to the hot tub/hammam so I can’t comment on that. Owner was great with recommendations.

Great for an extended family holiday

We stayed with our children, their spouses and our grandchildren, 6 adults, 3 young children. The house was spacious. The large garden had plenty of room to play cricket, and there was room for inflatables in the pool. There were several outdoor and indoor seating areas. The kitchen was well equipped though a few more tea towels would have been useful. The house is in a fantastic location, walking distance (with young children) to the shops, restaurants and chateau of Azay le Rideau, and a boulangerie and bar/tabac in Cheille. There is parking over the road and we could always get a space. The night market in Azay on the Friday evening is worth a visit. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the house: the sofas had clearly not been moved for cleaning (filthy when retrieving a toy that had rolled underneath) and there was a half eaten chocolate bar on a shelf and a wrapper under one of the beds. We had been told that we could not arrive before 6pm as a deep COVID clean was being done. This had not happened. The downstairs toilet didn’t always flush properly. The marble slab in the living room did not seem to be securely attached and could be a hazard. We were concerned to find a cctv camera directed at the pool, as we had not been told about this and what it was being used for. Overall we enjoyed our holiday.

Family reunion in the Loire Valley

Overall the property was suitable for our needs which was a large family gathering of 12 persons of all age groups. The facilities were provided that you could possibly need. The pool, steam room, hot tub and BBQ were the focus for the family especially as the weather was perfect. The pool is lovely. The house offers convenient location to local town and easy to drive to nearby sites. Car parking was available across the road. I was however, somewhat disappointed at the tired condition of some of the interior furniture, beds etc and we felt the house could of been cleaner for our arrival. There has not been a detailed clean I would suggest before our arrival, even the windows were all dirty. When I checked out the lady inspected the property standard we had left the house so not sure why the house cannot be at a higher standard of cleanliness. Using the pool and spa was very good but the English language VRBO site did not make clear there was an extra €750 for the use of when I booked. Only got told by owner two weeks before our stay. My other concern is why cctv has to be monitoring the pool, garden and outside seating area. I for one wanted privacy without the possibility of being monitored. In summary we all had a good holiday but could of easily been much better when you pay this amount for a holiday house. Communication with the host was fairly straightforward but it would be better to have someone greet you at property so the details can be easily understood.

Charming and spacious Loire Valley Retreat

We very much enjoyed this charming home in Cheille, France. The host, Cecile, is helpful and responsive. The house is walkable to the town of Azay-le-Rideau in under ten minutes, so there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby as well as the beautiful chateau. Also, along the street in Cheille (and walkable in under 3 minutes) is excellent coffee at the tabac, a very good patisserie/bakery, and an épicerie/small market with a very friendly owner. The bedrooms and bathrooms were exactly as pictured, and everything was very clean and in good order. We didn’t have time for the pool or spa, but it was nice to have them as an option. Overall, the house is perfect for a large family or group. There is a very large dining room and plenty of outdoor seating as well. I would highly recommend this property as a lovely Loire Valley retreat!

Séjour très agréable dans une belle maison vraiment originale

La maison de Cécile est très belle, bien équipée, confortable et très originale. A parfaitement convenu à notre famille de 7 adultes et 6 enfants, question nombre de chambres, lits et pièces à vivre! J'ajoute que le jardin, même en hiver, a été un terrain de jeu idéal pour les enfants. Cette propriété est de plus, très bien située, près des commerces et du magnifique château d'Azay-Le-Rideau à 10 mn à pied de la maison. En résumé, un excellent souvenir de notre semaine à Cheillé et un grand merci à Cécile, toujours prête à nous renseigner avec une grande gentillesse dès que nous avions des questions.
