Nous avons passé un bon séjour bien qu'il manquait des équipements. A notre arrivée, nous avons constaté qu'il n'y avait pas de barbecue alors que c'était mentionné dans le descriptif. Nous avons été informés peu après que celui-ci avait été endommagé avant notre arrivée mais il n'a pas été remplacé pendant notre séjour. Les seules toilettes indépendantes étaient hors-service alors qu'elles sont les plus pratiques quand on est un groupe de 10 personnes.Ces informations ne nous ont pas été transmises en amont alors que nous avons été en contact peu de temps auparavant avec une personne qui s'occupe de la location du gîte.Nous avons dû faire aussi abstraction de l'état de propreté qui laissait à désirer (poussières, morceau de verre cassé trouvé sous le tapis du salon, verres à vin tâchés et vaisselle dans un état douteux, saletés dans les placards et les tiroirs, mobilier extérieur en mauvais état et inutilisable).Il manquait également des ustensiles utiles dans la cuisine (couteau à pain, couteau économe, essoreuse à salade, verre doseur). Les couteaux de cuisine ne coupaient pas. La cafetière électrique était très longue à faire le café et mériterait un bon détartrage ainsi que la bouilloire.Pour finir, pour comble de malchance, nous avons été réveillés à 7 heures un matin par le bruit avoisinant d'une tondeuse à gazon.Malgré tout cela, notre séjour a été plus ou moins agréable grâce au cadre campagnard et à la gentillesse des hôtes que nous avons eu au téléphone.

Décevant

Location décevante. Bien que les draps et serviettes étaient propres, le reste du gîte était sale, des toiles d'araignées et de poussière partout, la vaisselle douteuse les tiroirs à couverts sales, bref on était obligé de laver avant tout ce qu'on voulait utiliser. Le lave vaisselle nettoyait très mal, du coup on relavait encore une fois derrière. La table branlante, les chaises en osier abîmées... Le pire a été la souris qui a grimpé le long d'une serviette dans la grande chambre (on a vu après qu'il y avait un piège à souris dans un coin de la chambre, mais inefficace apparemment). Bref on voit que le gîte a été bien à une époque mais pas du tout entretenu, nous ne recommandons pas du tout!

Gîte confortable spacieux et bien situé dans le sud du val de Loire

Tout s'est bien déroulé dans le gite. Le hameau est calme et entouré de cultures. Sa proximité au château de Rivau permet de s'y balader aisément. Chinon, l'abbaye de Fontevraud et Richelieu sont également proches.

Cadre sympathique

Gîte agréable. Le Spa est un plus mais bien le préparer à l'avance. Le temps de chauffe est un peu long

Quiet and relaxing lication in a very small hamlet close to Chinon

Having rented gites in France ovee many years we have always been slightly disappointed by tired properties, but this gite lived up to its description in all respects. Everything needed for a relaxing holiday but we were a party of 4 if 10 I think it would be crowded. Locally there are many chateaux and attractions within 60 minutes of the gite. Chinon and Tours offer small town facilities. Would recommend this gite to smaller groups.
