ECRIN DE VERDURE proche CHATEAUX ET ZOO BEAUVAL

Parfait contact et accueil des propriétaires. Le logement est conforme aux descriptions et photos en ligne, très propre et très bien entretenu. Très confortable, bien équipé et très calme. Très joli jardin, un écrin de verdure zen permet de trouver le calme. Facilité d'accès et de stationnement. Aux alentours, le centre de la commune est à deux minutes à pieds en traversant le joli pont sur le Cher, très belle vue depuis le jardin sur le Cher et ses promenades de rive. Proximité de certains château de la Loire comme Chambord par exemple. Accès en voiture à 15 minutes du Zoo Parc de Beauval qui est aussi un endroit charmant et intéressant à visiter, sur deux jours je le conseille vu sa grandeur. Je conseille vivement ce logement aux internautes en recherche d'un endroit pour le repos et proche de ces centres d'intérêt. Celui que nous occupions était pour deux personnes. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Encore merci à nos hôtes !

Lovely holiday

A typical French property, with quirky touches, in both the gite and the gardens. The house was very clean and well presented, Dominque made us very welcome and was very informative about what could be experienced in the area. The visit gave us an opportunity to have a relaxing holiday and to experience a new area of France which we had not previously visited.

Der Mangel hat überwogen.

Die Wohnung ist sehr schön gelegen, in der Nähe des Cher und fußläufig zum Ort. Der Garten ist geschmackvoll und einladend angelegt. Jede Wohnung hat eine kleine durch Hecken abgegrenzte lauschige Terasse. Der Grillplatz und der kleine Pool laden zur Benutzung ein. Sie sind so gelegen, dass die anderen Gäste bei der Benutzung nicht gestört werden.Die Wohnung ist zweckmäßig geschnitten. Die Einrichtung besteht aus alten Möbeln, die sehr ansprechend sind, also keinen Sperrmüll-Charakter haben. Die Gastfamilie war sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, sie hat uns mit leckeren süßen , wohlrichenden Tomaten aus dem eigenen Garten versorgt. Leider hatte die Wohnung eine massive Beeinträchtigung: sie war durchgehend feucht bei mit einem Messgerät gemessenen 70 % Luftfeuchtigkeit. Eine Querlüftung war nicht möglich. Die Belüftungsanlage war insuffizient. Das Bettzeug und die Kleidung waren klamm. Es roch wie in einem Altbaukeller. Zunächst wollte die Gastfamilie die Reklamation nicht wahrhaben. Dann wurde sie eingeräumt mit dem Bemerken, die Lüftungsanlage sei beschädigt. Auch nach deren Reparatur stellte sich noch nicht einmal eine graduelle Besserung ein. Selbst bei unserer Abreise wurde noch der Versuch gemacht, den schrecklichen Geruch mit der Witterung und der Lage am Fluß zu erklären.Die objektive Beeinträchtigung und der unproffesionelle Umgang der Gastfamlie mit der Reklamation führen zu einer Gesamtbewertung mit nur einem Stern.

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung

Ein kleines Plätzchen in einem wunderschönen Garten. Wir durften den Grillplatz und den kleinen Pool mitbenutzen und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Ruhig und trotzdem sehr nah zum Städtchen und zu Ausflugszielen in der Nähe. Dominique hat uns Tipps gegeben und so entdeckten wir neben den Schlössern auch in Amboise das letzte Domizil von Leonardo da Vinci. Susanne und Torsten Grobecker

Lovely retreat in Selles sur Cher

We had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay at this gîte in Selles sur Cher. Dominique was an excellent host & couldn’t have made us more welcome. The gîte was well equipped and very comfortable and it was lovely to be able to relax in the different areas of the garden. The plunge pool was great for cooling down in the evenings. We made good use of the bikes to explore the surrounding countryside. The Cher/ Loire Valley is a beautiful region of France to visit. We would like to return to the gîte in the future.

Entspannung in der Gartenidylle

Die Ferienwohnung liegt in einem wunderschönen Garten direkt an der Cher. Hier kann man hervorragend ausspannen, so wie wir, oder die Schlösser und Weingüter der Umgebung erkunden. Bäcker,Metzger und ein Käseladen sind in der Nähe, der Supermarkt in 3 Minuten mit dem Auto. Die Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit. Der Urlaub war rundum gelungen.

Cosy Gîte

A lovely setting for a relaxing stay by the Cher. The gite is well equipped with a very pleasant terrace. It is a bout 5 minutes walk from the shops of Selles sur Cher, which include an excellent boulangerie/patisserie. We ate a lot of delicious cakes & croissants. The village is well placed for visiting chateaux and towns in the eastern Loire. The owners were extremely helpful & quick to fix any issues.

A perfect week in a lovely cottage.

The cottage was so pretty and cozy, set in such a lovely garden on the banks of the river. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and provided a great recommendation for dining, even making a reservation for us. The location makes it very easy to access many interesting sites in the surrounding area, including the zoo, though we didn't take that in, due to the weather while we were there.

Charming stay - live like the locals !!!

Charming cottage steps across the bridge from a typical small French village....if you are looking to experience living like a local, this is the place - away from the hustle & bustle of the main towns & cities, but close enough to get to comfortably by car. It was a very comfortable stay and felt like home.....Alain & Dominique (hosts) were extremely accommodating, warm and friendly - we were sad to leave !! Large grocery store less than 1km away, easy walk or very quick drive. Walk to boulangerie in the morning for your croissants and baguettes and delicious sweets and cakes. Great location for exploring the eastern portion of the Loire chateaux (Tours and east).
