We had a lovely stay in your home. The kitchen and rooms had everything we needed. It slept 5 comfortably. We made meals and enjoyed in our dining room. The beds were comfy. We would visit again.
Much bigger inside than the photos suggest. Very comfortable and spacious. Pool was delightful and location excellent. Chaumont sur Loire itself had lots to offer including access to Loire, bars and restaurants. Really enjoyable holiday for all the family
We had a lovely stay in this gite it had all the amenities you could need. The beds were very comfortable and lovely large peaceful garden which our 2 year old loved. All the chateaux are in close proximity we would recommend Cheverny chateau. Highly recommended
We were a group of adults visiting the Loire Valley for cycling and sightseeing. The house and property were perfect for our group — a beautiful setting and a charming house. The Chateaus du Chamont Sur Loire was a surprising and delightful local sight. The property also provides great access (by bicycle or car) to charming towns (Amboise & Blois) and several spectacular chateau. A five star vacation!
We had a fantastic few days in the house. When we arrived, we received a warm welcome and some tips for where to visit in the area. The owner was very friendly and replied to our messages quickly. The house itself is well appointed and we felt instantly at home. It is a short drive from the local town and a small village, in which, you could find all of the essentials for a short stay. We spent a few days touring the sights and towns in the area and spent our evenings curled up in the cosy living room . Our kids particularly enjoyed having so much space both inside and out. I thoroughly recommend the house as a place to escape to.
We stayed for 2 weeks in May and used the Hunting Lodge as our home base. The house itself is large, very well equipped and we found everything we needed. The grounds and gardens are lovely, with climbing roses etc. and the location is extremely private.
All of the Loire Valley sights on our list were within an easy drive … Chambord, Cheverny, Chenonceau, Chaumont, Amboise, Blois, Lavardin, etc. And one evening, we were treated to 2 hot air balloons slowly drifting by the front door … c’est magnifique !!
Our host Carole was very helpful and easy to deal with. She obviously puts a lot of effort into making everything easy for visitors. We appreciated and highly recommend taking the time to read her personalized greeting and guide package. Merci Carole !!
Nous avons passé une semaine de vacances inoubliable dans le fantastique pavillon de chasse... la maison historique était tout simplement géniale, tous les accessoires étaient là ; le grand jardin avec piscine, table de ping pong et petit étang avec canards et foulques complétait la sensation de bien-être... situation super centrale au milieu des châteaux de la Loire... un grand merci à Madame Dru pour l'introduction et les renseignements ... nous avons tout aimé.
Gites parfait pour un sejour dans la vallee des chateaux de la Loire
Merveilleux gites chargé d histoire, tres agreable et idealement placé pour la visite des cahteaux. Tres bonne communication des gerants, tres a l ecoute. Recommande vivement.
Our family of four loved our stay at Chaumont-sur-Loire. The home was wonderful - spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, authentic and full of character. The location was great for exploring the Chateaux and lovely villages in the region.

Loire holiday
Enjoyed the location decor and size of property excellent,
Only downsides were for the size of the property and the fact
that it can cater for 6-8 people the utensils in the kitchen pots
and pans etc were very poor also one very small barbecue
which was dirty the grill top had mould on it,the last thing
was why oh why in such a beautifull property with only one
shower why wasn’t it functional constantly flooding but the owners did leave a squeezy mop! but we did have a lovely
family holiday and despite the small criticisms would like to
thank mr and Mrs dru for there sparkling wine and the use of there beautifull home.david chalkley

Wonderful property and helpful host
We loved staying here and will come back. Everything was trouble free - slight hassle with the HomeAway app when we couldn't access our booking in details but this was due to technology - not the host. In fact Carole was tremendously helpful in sorting the problem out for us and giving us a ring with the keycode so we could circumvent the system! The house is gorgeous and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. the power shower especially was a hit - as was the pool. Stay here. It's great.

Un gite exceptionnel
Le gîte de Carole est un ancien relai de chasse du château de Chaumont, niché dans un écrin de verdure avec une grande diversité d'arbres, dans lequel se trouve également un étang. La rénovation faite par les DRU est d'un niveau remarquable. Les photos du site sont à la hauteur du rendu réel. Le gîte est très lumineux, et toutes les vues sur l'extérieur sont apaisantes, que ce soit le jardin avec la piscine ou le petit carré de verdure à l'arrière avec les roses de toutes les couleurs. On s'y sent chez soi. En partant, j'ai dit à mes amis que c'était la maison de famille que je rêverais d'avoir. J'espère avoir l'occasion d'y revenir.
Un grand merci à Carole et son époux !

Great location for family/group for sightseeing or relaxing.
We just stayed 3 nights in this beautiful home with our family of 5. The location is a little secluded from town, but it's great. The interior is updated and beautifully decorated. The house is spacious and allowed us and the kids to be able to spread out a little bit. The town it is close to is very small and sleepy, but maybe that's just the days we were there. Across the river there is a large supermarket (kinda like a Walmart) that we found helpful.
We enjoyed staying here while we were visiting area castles. Would have loved an extra day or two to relax and do nothing. And the kids would have loved to use the pool if we were here in the summer.
Carole was a helpful host. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your rental!
