Great base for exploring The Loire

The gite was handy for everything. Near to Chaumont, Amboise, Bloise. Plenty of good restaurants nearby and a supermarket for food and fuel. The house was lovely with everything we needed. Nathalie was very friendly and helpful.

Loire reunion

We met dear American friends for the first time since the pandemic to visit chateaux and gardens, to walk along the Loire, to explore Tours and Blois and to cook together and explore local restaurants. The house was a perfect base for all these activities and we loved sitting in the sunny courtyard and around the dining table, chatting into the evening. Nathalie gave us a great tip for a walk and was super helpful with all queries. We highly recommend this lovely gite.

A beautiful gitê in a great location.

La Boussole is a wonderful gitê, with 3 good sized en-suite bedrooms, a communal living and cooking area and the most relaxing and private of courtyards where you can also dine al fresco. The gitê is beautifully designed inside and out and absolutely immaculate. Communication with the host Nathalie was simple, either though email or telephone and she is close by should you need her during your stay, although never imposing. Location is absolutely perfect, approx 400 m from the banks of the Loire and located between the two beautiful towns of Amboise and Blois, with château's galore and activities such as kayaking, cycling and hot air ballooning all on your doorstep. Although there are many good restaurants in the region the best we dined at was La Croix Blanche, only 300 m from La Boussole. Looking forward to returning soon as there's still so much for us to see and do in the region and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else but La Boussole. Merci Beaucoup Nathalie - c'était parfait.

A charming , stylish and comfortable Gite.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this very well-appointed Gite. Its location for sight-seeing is excellent and it was a warm and welcoming place to return to. The decor is stylish and full of character; the furnishings are very comfortable and having a shower in each bedroom was a bonus. We were impressed by the fantastic spiral staircase and, if someone in your party were to be unable to manage them, there is a great bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Nathalie was extremely helpful and lovely to deal with.

Veuves Gite

The property is much larger than it appears from the photographs, especially the bedrooms. The courtyard is idyllic. Nathalie was very helpful and provided us with information which we would not have found ourselves. The Gite is ideally situated for visiting Blois and Amboise

A beautiful gite in an ideal location

We loved our stay in this beautiful gite. It is spacious, well equipped and very tastefully decorated and furnished. There are 3 showers so no queues needed! The weather was unusually hot and we particularly enjoyed our time sitting out in the evenings in the lovely private courtyard. Inside there is a large dining table and also a sofa and seated area so had the weather been more inclement we would happily have spent more time inside. The spiral staircase is a lovely feature and leads to the 2 upstairs bedrooms. The third bedroom is downstairs. Nathalie was an extremely helpful host, she quickly responded to any queries / messages and although we had no problems during our stay it was good to know she lived close by if needed. The location of the gite is excellent, it is located in a quiet , tiny village part way between Amboise and Blois so ideal for exploring the beautiful Loire. Onzain (about a 5 minute drive away) has a good large supermarket with fuel station close by. There is also a very good butchers and bakers closer in the next village. We caught the train from Onzain and had a fabulous day in Tours, this station is also on the main rail route to Amboise, Blois and even Paris! A very happy holiday and we would love to return one day.

Un sejour entre amis, ponctué de visites et de parcours golfiques. Emplacement ideal, logement confortable et très complet, mais les escaliers en font un logement peu adapté aux personnes à mobilite difficile. Une chambre au rdc est cependant disponible. Hote accueillant.

Séjour agréable dans un bel endroit

Le gîte est aménagé avec goût et il est très bien équipé. La petite cour fermée permet de profiter de l'extérieur au calme. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter les nombreux châteaux de la Loire qui sont très proches pour la plupart Blois, Amboise, Chenonceaux, Villandry... Nous regrettons de n'être resté qu'une semaine sur place, il y avait tant à voir que nous aurions aimé prolonger ce séjour. Nous reviendrons très certainement.

Home Away in Loire Valley

The gite was perfect for three women friends traveling together, giving us the opportunity for fellowship when we wanted but also privacy when we wanted that. A lot of thought had been put into the renovation of the gite. It had plenty of natural light and was aesthetically pleasing. It had also been outfitted with the guest in mind, plenty of space for clothes, etc. We were thrilled to find a place with three showers too! Nathalie was very helpful in orienting us to the area. The location is in a small village not too far from Amboise which was a great location for visiting the chateaux. The village is very small and does not have a lot of amenities but does have a fantastic restaurant. There is another village about a mile away that has a lovely little epicerie where you can pick up your pain au chocolat in the morning. Overall, it was a fantastic value for the money and a delightful stay. I will comment that it would not be good for someone who is mobility impaired with a winding spiral staircase and steps without railing down into the upstairs bedrooms. That said we were 3 fit women about 70 years old and it did not pose a problem for us.
