Highly recommend
We had an amazing stay at Mme Sol’s house over Christmas. Unfortunately car trouble meant we were without transport but we spent the time relaxing, enjoying the full kitchen, comfortable lounge, fireplace, games, table tennis and badminton. The house is beautifully furnished, warm and fully equipped - everything has been thought of. Mme Sol and Mme Louchard checked in to make sure we were OK and provided advice and also bikes so we could travel to the village. We wished we could have stayed longer - maybe next time!

Très bon séjour
Idéalement placé entre Cheverny et Chambord, le gîte était bien adapté à notre court séjour (3 nuitées). Calme absolu, bien équipé, nous avons même eu la chance de voir 2 biches paître dans la prairie qui jouxte la maison. Les 2 chambres d'étage ont un accès "raide" et assez bas de plafond, donc à privilégier pour des enfants. Nos petits-enfants ont adoré le côté "cabane" selon eux de la mezzanine. La 2ème télévision dans la chambre du bas a permis de les laisser choisir cette mezzanine non isolée (autre que par un rideau) de l'espace de vie du séjour en bas plutôt que l'autre chambre. Nous avons été autorisés à accéder au gîte puis en repartir selon des horaires à notre convenance en suivant la procédure indiquée qui a parfaitement fonctionné; une bouteille nous a même été offerte ! Merci ! Les propriétaires étant absents en cette période de congés scolaires, nous ne les avons pas rencontrés.

Une moment familial privilégié
Nous avons passé un séjour en famille très agréable grâce à ce gîte. L'accueil a été optimal, le gîte est parfaitement équipé, les espaces extérieurs sont parfaits, les alentours paisibles. Nous étions tout proche du château de Chambord notamment et pas très loin de Blois. Un moment vraiment détente dans un cadre parfait.

Nature et calme dans un gîte très cosy
Le gîte a un emplacement idéal : au coeur de la campagne/forêt tout en étant à proximité des commodités et des lieux à visiter (châteaux, caves…). Le gîte très paisible est propice au repos et à la déconnexion. Son aménagement est très fonctionnel tout en étant charmant. Nous avons été très bien accueillies par Madame Sol. Toute la famille s’y est beaucoup plu. La semaine est passée trop vite!

Perfect cottage in the Loire
We really enjoyed our stay in Fontaines-en-Sologne. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you would need and also has a barn area with a table tennis table, badminton and boules which we enjoyed playing. The gite is in a really peaceful location but it is close enough to the village and attractions. We particularly enjoyed the Grand Chambord natural swimming pool so would highly recommend this on a hot day. We also visited Beauval Zoo and Cheverny Chateau which were both excellent. Both Mme Louchard and Marie Claude were very welcoming and were easy to communicate with. We would definitely return!

Endroit à recommander
Magnifique petite maison perdue dans les bois, entourée de prairies sauvages, elle bénéficie d'une quiétude olympienne. Idéalement située (15 min de Chambord et de Blois), on rayonne facilement vers tous les châteaux de la région mais aussi vers des villes qui valent la découverte (Blois surtout). N'hésitez pas.

Perfekter Aufenthalt
Die Unterkunft ist sehr geschmackvoll und komfortabel eingerichtet. Völlig ruhige Lage. Die Gastgeberin wohnt im Nachbarhaus und war unaufdringlich freundlich. Kostenlose Nutzund von 3 Fahrrädern möglich, mit denen wir zu Schloss Chambord fuhren. Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Lediglich die akustische Isolierung zwischen dem oberen und unteren Schlafzimmer ist gemessen an deutschen Standards etwas kärglich. Aber wir werden das Haus sicher weiterempfehlen an Freunde und Bekannte.

A lovely hidden cottage, yet close to all the Chateau and attractions. Very quiet and peaceful, with a well planned kitchen. I would say basic French is essential, but all the locals and the key holder were very patient and friendly, tolerating our rusty school French. We hired bikes from Jadi Vert in Bracieux, no english but very friendly and cheap bicycles that we used to cycle into Bracieux with our children on quiet roads to buy our bread and croissants every morning. We were unlucky with the weather, but the wood burner was an absolute joy at the end of a busy day sight seeing. This cottage was excellent value for money and its rustic charm and location near an authentic French village not over run with tourists (like us! ) Was perfect! Wifi worked but fluctuated - fine if you are holidaying not working. Beds firm but comfortable. Thank you Madam we loved our stay.
