Villas in Tourouvre-au-Perche

"My 5 year old summed this up best: ‘I wish we could live here!’ The property was idyllic. It was set in huge private grounds that are not overlooked by anyone except horses and donkeys. We had all our meals outside in the sunny courtyard chatting around the large tables and listening to nature, under the shade of the tree, and spent evenings there also under garden string lights. We loved the pool - the kids spent endless hours in it and the adults could relax on the comfy sun loungers under the parasols. There was also a pool cover and the area was gated so very safe for kids. The area was incredibly quiet - we could cycle on the roads from the property without coming across many vehicles, and visited many pretty villages in le perche region and saw beautiful churches, went to nice markets and played mini golf. But we didn’t need to leave the property - there was enough there to entertain us - the pool, table tennis, darts, badminton, bikes, table football, hammocks, swing, river, donkeys, ponds and frogs, games (we loved pickomino!) and tv (that was never turned on!). The accommodation was clean, had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, floorboards were on the creaky side and doorways low for taller guests, but authentically renovated and full of character. What a privilege it was to have spent a week in such a lovely, peaceful place. "

"Impressive, attractive old estate, fair price. Beautiful pool and grounds. Good WiFi despite the sprawling house footprint. A few very fancy rooms. Pretty views from every bedroom. Very responsive hostess."

"The house is magnificent. Jerome made us feel like it was our home and nothing was too much trouble.the grounds, house and lake are exceptional. Our hope is to return next year as 3 generations had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. "

"Just perfect "

"This was an excellent place to stay, it will surely be the highlight of my 49 day trip to France! The hosts were super welcoming and personable, I feel like I made new friends! I hope to come stay here again as it was that great!"

"Very Quite location. Great for multiple guests with kitchen and couple of beds very roomy. Mattresses could be a little thicker. "

"We had a wonderful stay here with a group of 4 families and kids ranging from 8-14 years. The property was perfect with plenty of indoor and outdoor space and the hosts were very friendly and helpful"

"Après un long voyage, cela a été un vrai plaisir pour nous de poser nos bagages dans le gite de Bernard, en pleine campagne Perchoise. Anne-Cecile nous a très bien accueillie et la maison, ensoleillée, comfortable et bien équipée, nous à rapidement remit sur pied."

"This little gem is amazing! We booked it for a last minute stay when we found ourselves in the area and it was getting late and we were tired of driving. What a pleasant surprise! The rooms was absolutely adorable. Loved the attention to detail! It was so clean! We had a really lovely stay and will definitely be back next time we are in the area! "
