A beautiful house, superb setting, charming hosts

Le Clos de Venise is an exceptional property. The house is beautiful, extremely comfortable and equipped with everything you might need for your stay. We enjoyed every minute of our week there. The setting in the vineyard is superb. Note that the resident sheep is very friendly and likes to have a pat when you pass by on your way to buy the breakfast croissants at the little village epicerie. Claude and Francine are wonderful hosts – the nicest couple, friendly, informative about the region and its history, interesting to have a chat with and extremely generous with their wonderful wine, fresh produce from their vegetable garden and home-made jam, all greatly appreciated and devoured. Thank you to you both. We will look back on our stay at Le Clos de Venise with very warm memories and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

Perfect

We had a lovely greeting by the hosts when we arrived at this beautifully restored house.They personally showed us around, and made sure we felt at home before leaving us. They live in the house nearby but this was not a problem as they left us to it, and we were able to roam freely and explore the grounds. They were splendid hosts!We were very fortunate with the weather and so got to fully appreciate the garden and loungers, eating outside and relaxing. There is a great supermarket 3km away which served all our needs. 5 mins walk there is also a small village store, and a restaurant/bar which served great food which was very good value. There is a hotel within walking distance which also has a restaurant but we chose not to go there as ate in most of the time.The house itself has everything you need, and is decorated to a very high standard. 3 comfortable large beds, great bathrooms, plenty of reading material and wifi.

Lovely vineyard house close to Vouvray

This is a brilliant property. It’s an old vineyard house, stylishly converted and very well equipped. The description and photos are accurate. There is a lovely garden in front with chairs and loungers, which sadly we were unable to use because of the persistent rain. Claude and Francine are the best of hosts, welcoming, friendly but discreet. All in all, a great choice for a week in the Loire Valley

Fantastic Cottage

As a family we stayed at the end of August. The property was easily the best rental cottage we have ever stayed in. Very roomy and fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality. We loved the outdoor electric grill plate on the terrace which we have never used before, so much cleaner than a barbecue. As we have a daughter who is slightly autistic and also has Type 1 diabetes we always try and find good quality accommodation as we tend to spend more time there than other families might do as we often have to limit our days out if our daughter gets tired and this property fitted our needs perfectly. Our hosts Francine and Claude were marvellous and very helpful to me when on day 1 I had an issue with my car and thought I needed a garage. Claude accompanied me to the garage and was able to communicate with them for me as my French is non-existent !! I was very thankful for the time they gave to help me. They both speak quite good English so we were able to converse perfectly fine. If I have one suggestion for those staying here who are English speaking, there is a satellite TV box but it only has a couple of English speaking news channels available, BBC World and Sky News International. The TV is not a smart TV so as a suggestion for future travellers it might be wise to bring a dongle such as a Firestick or Chromecast that you may be able to access your streaming services via the good wi-fi at the premises. We had DVD's we brought so used the DVD Player for entertainment.

Luxury gite in the vineyards

This lovely property completely lived up to expectation and was even bigger upstairs than the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the garden and view (shady when needed) especially the birds, including redstarts and barn owls. The village is very handy and we made good use of the grocery shop (fresh bread) and the cafe which was excellent value for morning coffee or traditional lunch. Many places to visit nearby whether by bike or in the car, however we were quite content to enjoy the surroundings from the garden. Thank you.

Une maison au charme incomparable

Notre séjour dans la Loire était exceptionnel en grande partie grâce au Clos de Venise. Les hôtes Francine et Claude sont absolument charmants. Leur accueil chaleureux a fait resplendir la demeure mise à notre disposition. La maison est décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Les portes-fenêtres innondent la maison de lumière et s'ouvrent sur le jardin, d'où nous avions une vue imprenable sur les vignes. Le calme nous a fait oublier le quotidien. Francine et Claude étaient aux petits soins pour nous avec le sourire et discrétion. Nos expéditions dans les alentours se terminaient chaque jour avec le plaisir de retrouver la maison et le jardin du Clos de Venise.

Everything was fabulous! Great, friendly and welcoming hosts, and perfect setting for a relaxing week in the Loire. Thank you so much Claude and Francine for welcoming us to your home so generously. Great location for exploring the Loire valley, main challenge was pulling ourselves away from the patio view every morning. House was perfect, with everything you could possibly need! Thank you!

Week in Noizay with friends and family

The property was ideal for our trip - bigger than it appears on the photos, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden was a delightful place to relax and our hosts were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive. The location of the property was excellent with two restaurants and a small shop within walking distance. There is also lots to discover in the wider area - gardens, chateaux, markets and restaurants....

Great property in the heart of the Loire Valley

We had a short (too short) one week stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing, in the middle of the vineyards. The property was very tastefully restored, and the inside is mixing touches of the past and many contemporary upgrades. Yet, it is just minutes away from the charming flare of Amboise, and from the bustling Tours. Well located if one wants to go to Chambord (1 hour drive), or Chenonceau (30 minutes). The owners are very friendly, and ready to help and provide some recommendations. We had a lovely time. Definitely a place to come back to.

The sunfilled garden was beautiful, plenty of furniture from which to enjoy the magical views and relax after cycling. Claude and Francine are perfect hosts..... thank you again!!

Exceptional property, exceptional hosts

There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe Le Clos de Venise. As inspiring as the photographs are, they cannot convey the warmth and welcome of the owners, Claude and Francine and their caretakers, Michèle and Jacky. It’s not surprising that all of the reviews offer 5 stars. They cover most everything one can say about this exceptional property and our party of five (4 adults and a toddler) echo all the glowing comments. It's the little things that made our stay so memorable. • Watching the delight on our granddaughter’s face as she ran out to greet the sheep in the gardens every day. • Walking the acres of vineyards and gardens and pathways so quintessentially French. • Hiking, running, and bike-riding through endless vineyards and beautiful roads winding through surrounding towns. • Appreciating the splendor of the trellised roses as they burst into bloom during our two-week stay. • Enjoying dinners on the patio with our family while being serenaded by cuckoo birds. • Learning how to queue up for morning baguettes at L’Epicerie. • Buying far too many olives at the Friday and Sunday farmer’s markets in Amboise. • Appreciating the bottle of Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups Vin de France “Venise” left for us so much as to immediately head to Montlouis-Sur-Loire for a tasting and a case of their offerings. • Spending time with Francine and Claude and Michèle and Jacky over some wine and hors d'oeuvres and a roaring fire while seeing pictures of the before and after of the guest house and marveling at what a spectacular transformation it had undergone. All of the joys and activities we were so privileged to experience were enhanced so perfectly by our home in France. Clos de Venise brought charm and enchantment, peace, and a sense of romance to our cherished two weeks in France. Thank you Claude and Francine for sharing your home with us.

Exceptional

Claude and Francine, the owners of Clos de Venise, have done an outstanding job restoring this lovely property situated above the village of Noizay, conveniently located in the heart of the Loire Valley. The property includes a vineyard that produces an outstanding Bourgueil. The farm below has an extensive vegetable garden and a field with friendly animals. The guest house is done in a comfortable contemporary style with high ceilings and lots of light. Doors open onto a lovely patio with a panoramic view. Our hosts could not have be more hospitable and helpful. Their loving care and tasteful touches are found all around. C’est magnifique! J,C, and ML
