Domaine des Petites Minaudières, piscine, idéal familles amis, nature et calme

We had a pleasant stay, nice welcome and easy check-in. Supplied were things to get you started, kitchen and toilet paper, some oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. Whilst not needed (we bring our own things) this will be helpful for others. Plenty gas for the stove and new gas bottle for the BBQ outside. Everything was working well. The outside deck (not towards the pool) will be replaced, we heard, and that is needed indeed. For us two this didn't matter as we used the grass area with tables and plenty seating there.The listing clearly shows the remote location, yet still easily accessible by car, which is exactly what we wanted. Quiet horses nearby. Surroundings, apart from nature sounds (birds), very quiet. Occasionally the gardener was present at nearby sheds, friendly and unobtrusive, but he will be doing gardening work, of course, but did inquire to time it with any absence during the day. Much appreciated. We had other people visit/stay at the neighboring house but didn't hear a thing. Yet, one is not entirely alone with respect to the surroundings, should that matter. We can also recommend this house (09-2025), just like the previous reviewers.

Beautiful house and pool in a wonderful quiet location. House was very clean and well equipped, weather was hot while we stayed but fans supplied to keep everyone cool while sleeping. Communication was excellent with owner and housekeeper. Really enjoyed our stay here.

This home was perfect for our family. The host welcomed us warmly with a fire in the beautiful and spacious first floor. The kitchen was well equipped. The host was readily available if we had questions. The house offered a very comfortable winter stay and would certainly be a lovely place in a warmer season.

House was spacious, clean and well maintained. Outdoor space including pool, table tennis and orchard were all beautiful. Village Boulangerie only 3km away and 10min drive to local supermarket so this was perfect for us - we felt truly in the countryside but had easy access to the town and good transport links to nearby attractions such as chateaus and Futuroscope (theme park). A lovely area to explore!

We stayed for 2 weeks at the start of June, and couldn't have asked for a better base to explore the area. The house is beautiful, and finished to a high standard. The gardens and grounds are lovely, and perfect to explore of an evening. The pool was an added bonus. The wider area is well placed to explore the Loire Valley, the Gite is less than an hour from Tours, Poitiers and Loches; as well as various chateau and other tourist destinations. The local town has supermarkets etc. only 10 minutes away. Benedicte was a kind and generous host, and checked in by text a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We'd definitely stay again if we were in the area.

The house was really comfortable. Plenty of space and we’ll equipped. Great Wi-Fi and everything worked well. The pool was excellent. The vegetable garden provided lovely tomatoes and courgettes. The grounds were lovely. Sitting beside a lake and a wood. The owner was very helpful throughout. Really enjoyable holiday.

We had a fantastic week at the cottage along with our 10 year old boys. Lots of space inside and outside, awesome swimming pool and weather. We enjoyed visiting nearby towns, ancient fortresses, markets, forests, and went further afield to Poitiers and the wildlife park. We’d highly recommend the cottage to others especially families. One of our favourite activities was picking fresh tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini and parsley from the garden next to the pool. Thankyou Benedicte for a wonderful stay!!
