Perfect cottage in the Loire
We really enjoyed our stay in Fontaines-en-Sologne. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you would need and also has a barn area with a table tennis table, badminton and boules which we enjoyed playing. The gite is in a really peaceful location but it is close enough to the village and attractions. We particularly enjoyed the Grand Chambord natural swimming pool so would highly recommend this on a hot day. We also visited Beauval Zoo and Cheverny Chateau which were both excellent. Both Mme Louchard and Marie Claude were very welcoming and were easy to communicate with. We would definitely return!

A lovely hidden cottage, yet close to all the Chateau and attractions. Very quiet and peaceful, with a well planned kitchen. I would say basic French is essential, but all the locals and the key holder were very patient and friendly, tolerating our rusty school French. We hired bikes from Jadi Vert in Bracieux, no english but very friendly and cheap bicycles that we used to cycle into Bracieux with our children on quiet roads to buy our bread and croissants every morning. We were unlucky with the weather, but the wood burner was an absolute joy at the end of a busy day sight seeing. This cottage was excellent value for money and its rustic charm and location near an authentic French village not over run with tourists (like us! ) Was perfect! Wifi worked but fluctuated - fine if you are holidaying not working. Beds firm but comfortable. Thank you Madam we loved our stay.

Highly recommend
We had an amazing stay at Mme Sol’s house over Christmas. Unfortunately car trouble meant we were without transport but we spent the time relaxing, enjoying the full kitchen, comfortable lounge, fireplace, games, table tennis and badminton. The house is beautifully furnished, warm and fully equipped - everything has been thought of. Mme Sol and Mme Louchard checked in to make sure we were OK and provided advice and also bikes so we could travel to the village. We wished we could have stayed longer - maybe next time!

Lovely secluded house.
We had a wonderful week here in November. A beautiful, quiet setting in a large woodland clearing. Lots of wildlife, especially deer. The house is warm, comfortable and well equipped. It's an excellent base for exploring the many château, the lovely city of Blois, and the brilliant zoo at Beauval. We plan to visit again.

Perfect French cottage in the middle of the Loire valley
This cottage couldn’t have been more perfect. The serene, peaceful location is close enough to drive to town but completely private backed by beautiful pasture and forest. The host was very responsive and friendly. The location is central to get to anywhere in Loire valley or Paris in 2 hours. Chateau chambord is only 15 mins from this cottage. While the location does require renting a car to get around, it is well worth the peace and privacy you have. You truly feel like a local staying here! Would definitely go back. Inside clean and well appointed And so beautiful!

An enchanting cottage
A beautiful cottage nestling in a clearing in the forest. Peace and tranquillity abound. Even though the cottage is away from it all it is ideally placed for visiting all the glorious chateaux in the area. The property is well equipped and tastefully furnished making it a real home from home. We recommend it to anyone wishing to visit this area for either a long or short stay.

We could live in this property as our home. It is beautifully decorated and has everything anyone could possibly need for a short or long stay. If you just want to stay at home and relax and recuperate from a hectic year or if you want to get out and see the sights, this gîte is perfect! It has the sweetest atmosphere and so much natural light. Totally refreshing! Marie-Claude is the sweetest and kindest hostess. We recommend to all!

Truly away from it all
Charming cottage, genuinely isolated with absolutely no neighbors anywhere nearby. Huge field just outside where deer like to show up in the morning and at dusk. Well equipped, and the ping pong table is a plus. Finding a nice long walking path through the forests is a snap. Very peaceful.

Nature et calme dans un gîte très cosy
Le gîte a un emplacement idéal : au coeur de la campagne/forêt tout en étant à proximité des commodités et des lieux à visiter (châteaux, caves…). Le gîte très paisible est propice au repos et à la déconnexion. Son aménagement est très fonctionnel tout en étant charmant. Nous avons été très bien accueillies par Madame Sol. Toute la famille s’y est beaucoup plu. La semaine est passée trop vite!

Endroit à recommander
Magnifique petite maison perdue dans les bois, entourée de prairies sauvages, elle bénéficie d'une quiétude olympienne. Idéalement située (15 min de Chambord et de Blois), on rayonne facilement vers tous les châteaux de la région mais aussi vers des villes qui valent la découverte (Blois surtout). N'hésitez pas.
