3 well equipped gites with swimming pool on the Loire Valley/Vienne border

Great property and great owners who were very responsive. We were a large group of friends and our children - pool was excellent and lots of space for kids to run around.

What an awesome place to take a vacation. We were a family of 16 and used all 3 charming gites in Princay. Each gite offered its own unique character, giving us a true taste of French living. The gites were comfortable, well equipped and perfect for relaxing after days exploring the region. We loved the outdoor space and pool area. With added bonus of the games room. The hosts were very welcoming and on hand to answer any queries we had. A truly memorable experience for us all.

We travelled to Princay as a family of 16, 8 adults and 8 children between 4 and 8. It had been very hard finding a configuration of properties that suited us and this was exactly what we needed. The properties are converted and done in a way that is sympathetic to their original use, the floors and walls weren't all even, but it added to the charm for us. The kitchens were well equipped and even had sharp knives for cooking, which can be quite unusual. The family loved the peace and quiet, it was safe for the children and the games room and pool worked well. Although towns and attractions are a drive away it was easy driving and the roads were very peaceful and clear. We really enjoyed our stay. The weather of course helped, but different family members were able to do different visits. Sam and Mark were very helpful, answering all our questions and would thoroughly recommend this property (s)

The setting with three separate areas (gîtes) but with the ability to have meals together both in a sheltered outside place and inside in the largest gîte was wonderful! Sam and Mark we're perfect hosts with just the right amount of friendly interaction. The fresh veg and Sparklung wine were lovely additions.plenty if towels made pool time great and the games room was a wonderful (and given the inclement weather) addition! A lovely place which has been restored to a high standard while keeping the atmosphere of a French country farm building. We would live to come again!

From the first moment we booked our holiday Sam was really helpful quickly responding to any questions we had . All 3 gites are well kitted out from comfy beds to everything you need in the kitchen to prepare food bought in the local markets . It’s location is so peaceful but only a 5 minute drive to the nearest shops. The games room was a great addition too . We will be back .

Having booked our holiday during lockdown, our family group of 16 people had 18 months to look forward to our stay in Princay and we were not disappointed! Mark and Sam were fabulous hosts, on hand when needed and full of useful advice about the local area. The gites are spacious and have been renovated to a very good standard, with little touches (such as welcome bubbly and delicacies) really appreciated. The pool was a godsend in the heat and we all enjoyed the games room. The gites are in a lovely quiet area and although we spent most of our time around the pool we did venture out to a couple local towns - we especially liked Chinon and Richelieu. Sam and Mark recommended a lake with watersports (about 30 minutes drive away) which was fantastic with inflatable "wipe out" games on and a beach with plenty of shade, we enjoyed it so much we went back for a second day! Our family group ranged in age from 6 - 75 and we all had a fabulous time. Highly recommended.

Wife and I spent a week here with our 3 kids (aged 3, 7 & 9) in July. Property is spacious, very well appointed, very clean and the owners have done a fantastic job with the recent conversion. I'd agree with a previous reviewer that the photos don’t do it justice - it is a fantastic place to spend a holiday. The thick walls meant that the inside was always cool, even when temperatures hit high thirties outside, and the owners also provided fans so the lack of air-con wasn't a problem at night. The kids enjoyed the pool and also the very large garden and tree-swings. The owners were on-site and very helpful with local knowledge and suggestions for things to do. They helped organize a riding lesson for one of our daughters which pretty much made her holiday. The rural location means total peace and quiet - the trade-off is that you need to drive out to any places of interest, but there is plenty to do in the area within a 20-40 minute drive, which was fine for us. The acid test is that I would happily go back and I would recommend it to my friends.

Have just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Prinçay. Mark and Sam were amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation is very spacious and well equipped. If you are after peace and quiet in a rural location this is the property for you.
