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.

Das Ferienhaus von Marie-Claude ist sehr gut ausgestattet und war sehr sauber. Wir haben drei Nächte in diesem sehr gemütlichen Ferienhaus verbracht und wir haben die ruhige Lage inmitten der Natur genossen. Das Haus liegt perfekt für Ausflüge nach Chambord und Blois. Wir empfehlen das Ferienhaus von Marie-Claude uneingeschränkt weiter und kommen sehr gerne wieder für weitere schöne Ausflüge an der Loire.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Le logement est parfaitement conforme à la description. La maison est très belle, très fonctionnelle et spacieuse. Située au milieu de la forêt, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la tranquillité et le calme. Les commerces sont très accessible (5-10 min en voiture) et les châteaux tout proches (20 min de chambord). Très bonne communication avec les propriétaires à l'arrivée et avec la conciergerie au départ. Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement.

Cosy home away from home

Everything was as described. Directions to the property were very clear. Check-in was easy and the property manager who greeted us and the owner who arrived the second day of our stay were both very kind. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and provided linens were clean. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and was clean on arrival. Spiderwebs were abundant throughout the house which is the only reason I can’t give 5 stars for cleanliness, however, this is as expected for a farmhouse and didn’t really bother us at all. We enjoyed our stay very much despite the rainy weather, which limited our ability to fully enjoy the garden. The location was very convenient to visit multiple beautiful chateaux in the region. Our children loved the two loft areas for sleeping and relaxing. We enjoyed seeing deer each evening we returned and even saw a sounder of boar run through the field at dusk one night. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I was in the area.

mooi huis en omgeving, maar heel warm

We hebben genoten van onze vakantie en de vakantiewoning. Het is een fijne en goed ingerichte woning, in een hele stille en mooie omgeving. We hebben de eerste dagen mooie fietstochten kunnen maken, maar daarna werd het veel te warm. We dachten een vakantiewoning met airconditioning gehuurd te hebben, maar dat betrof een kleine mobiele unit op één van de slaapkamers bovenin de woning. Daarom zijn we eerder vertrokken dan gepland.

Séjour pittoresque en pleine nature

Séjour formidable dans un gîte charmant et chaleureux où l'on se sent très vite chez soi. Entouré de nature nous pouvons jouer au ping pong, badminton et faire des tours en vélo. L'endroit en plus est très bien situé pour visiter les châteaux et le zoo de Beauval.Une adresse que nous n'oublierons pas et nous n'hésiterons pas à en parler autour de nous.A l'année prochaine !

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!
