Gîte Luna ; villa 6 personnes avec jaccuzi

😊: Very well equipped kitchen what comes to utensils.. 😢: Careful! Bed linen not included in the rental so the overall value for money ratio is very poor. This fact is only explicitly stated in the small print (whereas other facts such as that meals are not included were prominently presented on the booking confirmation). Based on a very short WhatsApp conversation, the provider formed the impression that my communication was aggressive. I believe this perception arose from differing communication expectations, as my intention was simply to communicate clearly and directly. Now she claimed to leave 35€ for bed linen rental in cash but as the residental area has no cash dispenser we left 40€. After several reminders no refund of excess has been made. Luna is located in a newly built residental area with nothing French campaigne kind of romantic. While house is generally well kept the small outside area represents burnt out lawn with old used children toys bound in cobweb and the famous jaccuzzi (separate about it further). Entering the house a broom and a bucket await you right at the door and instructions follow (see photos). It seems that the provider has very negative experiences in hospitality as the detail and robustness of cleaning instruction (please see visuals) wipes away any hope for a careless stay at Gite Luna. We even decide not to use famous jaccuzzi (because of which we booked the house) because of the severe wording in the use of jacuzzi instruction. At the same time scarcity prevails: just a drop of oil for cooking, no salt, only one (!) diswasher tablet etc. On the upside: laundry washer but no detergent. This is a ripoff for the money, the kind of unhospitality that is very uncharacteristic for rural France, instructions that you can also view attached, made this a stressful rather than enjoyable exprience. Not recommended!.

😊: Clean home. Coffee pot and kitchenware provided. Remote controls for room heating units. Functioning tv and wifi.. 😢: Linens not provided for all advertised beds (regardless of number of people on reservation). 2 paper towels on roll, 1.5 rolls toilet paper, 2 oz. of liquid shower soap were inadequate for 4 people and 2 days + 2 nights. One sofa, no chairs other than around dining table..

😊: We stayed 2 weeks to explore the numerous châteaux of the Loire. The location was perfect and the house is very comfortable, at a very peaceful location. Trips to Blois, Amboise and Tours were easy. Nearby we found also numerous wineries and great restaurants. The highlight was a Hotair balloon flight..
