About this property
Spacious Farmhouse with Private Pool. Ideal for 10 adults.
La Zuzaliere is a 200 year old farmhouse built from local limestone called 'tuffe' with roofs of clay pantiles and slate. Surrounded on all sides by rolling countryside it enjoys lovely views. The main part of the garden is south facing creating a sun trap from breakfast time through to evening. There is also a pretty enclosed courtyard surrounded by old stone barns and a wine press. Richelieu is about 10 minutes drive away and is a small picturesque market town with excellent restaurants, friendly bars and a good supermarket. Chinon is about 30 minutes drive away and is a large medieval town with a partly restored chateau and echo. Further afield are other Loire chateaux including the beautiful Azay-le-Rideau (45 mins) and Usse (of Sleeping Beauty fame). Chambord and Chenonceau make a great day out. Futuroscope is about 30 minutes drive away just north of historic Poitiers. There are also lots of vineyards to visit and wines to taste - try Chinon and Haut Poitou.

This provided our family group with numerous places to visit. Lovely restaurants to eat at and most importantly the privacy to enjoy quality family time! We will be back!
Lovely house in rural France. House was perfect for our needs and the garden and pool was excellent. Shame about the weather but we were able to visit Chinon, Richelieu and Châtellerault instead.

Très décevant
L'hôte est charmant, la piscine et le jardin sont sympas. Mais la maison est vétuste (électricité en particulier n'est pas aux normes, pas d'alarme incendie). L'accès à l'étage est difficile par un escalier en fer en colimaçon très étroit. La literie est ancienne. Le ménage est à revoir complètement. Nous étions 12 au départ, 2 sont partis car impossible de dormir en raison de fortes odeurs d'humidité dans les chambres au rdc. Il me semble difficile de dormir à 17 personnes.
Great pool and outside areas including an excellent barbecue.
The farmhouse was dated but the thick walls proved to be a godsend in the heat and the ice maker was fantastic! Thank you! We had a lovely time.
Typical French farmhouse with Pool, Quiet good location for trips to Tours, Richelieu and Poitiers. Good sized pool although five feet deep throughout so youngsters have to watched for trying to sneak in. Two Bedrooms downstairs one which is accessed through another or alternatively has a door to outside which the house can be accessed to for the toilet my only main fault is that bed is pretty old springwise and could do with updating apart from that small point thanks to Mike we had a lovely stay and holiday.
We had an amazing week at La Zuzalière. We were with 10 adults and enjoyed our summervacation there a lot. The house is perhaps a little old but has everything you need for a relaxing vacation: a large garden with swimming pool, many places to sit outside and enjoy the sun while reading a book or playing a game. It also has a large and perfectly equipped kitchen (and outside bbq!). We also went canoeing in the beautiful nearby town Chinon and had some Loire wine-tastings. Would definitely recommend!

Vacances agréable entre amis
Globalement satisfaisant.
Le barbecue a un peu de mal à fonctionner et la piscine est abîmée sur les bords.
Propriété ancienne verte mais très propre. Le temps Clément nous a permit de profiter au maximum de l extérieur qui est adapté à un large groupe car très vaste. La piscine est très fonctionnelle et sécurisée.
Nous étions 15 personnes( 7 adultes et 8 enfants de 3 a 10 ans) et nous nous sommes pas sentis à l entree.
Un seul bémol vient de la qualité des matelas qui sont vieillissants et qui mériteraient d être changés pour certains. C est un axe d amélioration pour avoir un séjour optimal mais ceci n a aucunement gâché notre séjour.
Une vieille ferme restaurée en pleine campagne (et des lapins en liberté). Beaucoup d'espace pour vivre même à12. Une piscine non-chauffée mais à température agréable avec le soleil, une belle occasion pour se détendre et jouer. Plusieurs espaces terrasses extérieurs y compris pour les repas. Pratique: un dépôt pain dans le village (1km) et un Intermarché (à 10km).
Nous avons passé un bon sejour d'une semaine à 15 personnes. la propriété est vaste. La maison est un peu vieille mais grande.
Le jardin, la terrasse et la piscine sont tres agréables, nous en avons beaucoup profite. Pas de voisin, l'ensemble est tres calme, ni de vis a vis.
Il y a quelques points a ameliorer mais c'est une question de gout.
A wonderful fortnights break with lots of fun in the pool and days out followed by evening BBQs at this great farmhouse .The entire family managed to get there from all over and everyone enjoyed themselves wonderful views all around
Thank you

Wasps by the pool a problem at first. Staircase rather narrow _ a good job we were on the thin side.
Otherwise the kitchen was well served with served with appliances and utensils . Mattresses a bit friendly.Pool excellent.

Great location outdoor space and private
We had s great fortnight in August 2016 with 14 of us staying in the house,
Great location outdoor area and very private.
All 14 people 6 adults and 14 children had a great holiday in la Zuzaliere, my favourite part of the house was the outside eating area and swimming pool.
La Zuzaliere had lots of character and had every thing we required to make our holiday comfortable.

Lovely holiday
My family and I (all 17 of us) had a great time at La Zuzaliere. The house and pool were great, a real home from home. We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years and have to say that this one has been the best in terms of amenities, so many pots and pans and sharp kitchen knives, my wife and mother were very impressed!
We explored as recommended and the grandchildren had great fun imagining the history of the farm.
There was plenty of room for us all and we enjoyed the local walks and area very much.
Also, excellent value for money.
