Sweet Cottage in a Beautiful setting

The cottage is very well equipped and in a beautiful setting. The town and nearby Chateau are also really lovely . Birdsong in the garden is amazing one morning I recorded 26 birds in the garden ! One tiny thing if you visit take plenty of insect protection you are very near to the river and in the evening protection is required . We shut the bedroom windows and as it was hot the host kindly provided fans and an air conditioning unit so we slept well and it was not a problem. The host was lovely and very helpful. A fabulous stay .

Séjour très agréable !

Charmante maison avec un très grand jardin au bord de l'Indre, ce qui assure un séjour tres agréable, reposant et proche de toutes les visites touristiques de la région. Merci aussi à la propriétaire très gentille ! Notre petite chatte à aussi très appréciée les rebords de fenêtre pour admirer la nature et la faune du jardin. 😊

Adorable cottage. Beautiful view of river.

Overall a beautiful little cottage with a quiet and perfect garden yard directly on the river. I was only here one night passing through but would gladly return for a longer retreat. Very close to the village and chateaus.
