Mieux que bien!

Nous avons été particulièrement heureux dans le gite Jasmin. Le site est enchanteur, la piscine particulièrement appréciée des enfants. Nos hôtes, Monsieur et Madame Chatagnon, leur famille et les personnes sur place ont tout fait pour rendre notre séjour le plus agréable possible et ils y ont pleinement contribué. Nous recommandons vivement cet ensemble, les promenades à pied aux alentours ont tout le charme que nous attendions.

"Perfect!"

La Varenne is the perfect base for a holiday in the beautiful Loire Valley. This is the third year in a row that we have stayed here and it never disappoints. The gite is very clean, well equipped (including Sky and WiFi), very comfortable and has a lovely private garden area to relax in. The (huge) grounds are brilliant, lots of space to run around, play badminton, volley ball, table tennis and more. The covered swimming pool is a real bonus too - whatever the weather. The newly added lake is an inspired idea, fantastic. What really makes a holiday here special though is the welcome from the owners who are quite delightful. They are very well informed, friendly and full of great advice on places to visit and things to do, which is a great help - there is so much to see and do in the region (we've barely scratched the surface after three visits!). There are five gites here of different sizes, each unique and with its own character. Mixing 'rest' days and days out works really well as there is plenty to do on either, our party ranged from 6yrs to over 70yrs of age and none were disappointed. We will be returning again!

Adorable Gite, très calme, environnement spacieux et adapté aux enfants ( nature, animaux) Piscine délicieusement et réellement chauffée.
Hôtes accueillants mais également sachant rester discrets. Que d'arguments pour le recommander et même y revenir. très bonne première expérience de gite pour nous.

Nous tenons à remercier tout particulièrement les propriétaires pour leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité et leur générosité. C'est avec plaisir que nous reviendrons ici et nous ne manquerons pas de recommander cette très bonne adresse.

"Dear Virginie & Gerard,

"Chere famille Chatagnon,

Merci beaucoup pour une semaine très agréable a la Varenne! We really enjoyed our time with you, and appreciated the time you spent advising us on restaurants and local events - and the haricots verts you shared with us! We all loved the pool - the temperature was perfect, and we much preferred the salted water to chlorinated. The garden was beautiful and it was lovely to sit and read or drink a cup of coffee looking out over the fields. The children had a great time too, and enjoyed playing with the other children at la Varenne.

"Lots of fun in the pool and making use of the badmington net and table-tennis. Keeps the children amused and allowed us to relax.
A fun week had by all again. Thank you very much.

"What a fantastic place to stay! Our hosts were super friendly and helpful (and with better English than our French!)
The pool is ideal and the exercise took the guilt out of enjoying some of the most delicious things France has to offer.
Very many thanks indeed.

"Thank you for opening your wonderful house to us on such short notice. You rescued us from a very bad situation and helped us to thouroughly enjoy our stay in the region.
After hearing the cuckoo with euro coins in my pocket I am expecting to become wealthy...
Thank you, thank you from all of us.
