Lovely spacious house

Lovely holiday in a beautiful property. Very spacious house for our group of 11. The pool was great, although there was an issue in the first few days with it, due to the previous week’s weather. This was rectified by the owner and they kept us up to date with what was happening. The village has a great boulangerie and small supermarket. There was plenty of chateaus to visit nearby and the children like Blois with its magical house. Great holiday and lovely house.

Fantastic property for a family summer holiday

A brilliant venue for a three generation holiday with a versatile accommodation mix for our party of 10 -the well appointed self contained chalet was ideal for the two 'seniors' with the younger families occupying the main house. We made good use of the large BBQ and with lovely weather we all ate out together by the pool every evening. The youngsters loved the swimming pool and we all enjoyed the jacuzzi and short trips out in the rowing boat in the river at the bottom of he garden - thank you for providing life jackets too. The garden exeeded our expectations and the trees provided welcome shade from the heat....definitely the favourite spot for Grandad! With a pool table and gym equipment in the room next to the jacuzzi and an outside table tennis table there was plenty for everyone to enjoy.. Hugo met us on arrival and after a long journey we were grateful he allowed us to gain entry before the alloted time. No review is complete without any mention of minor negatives and in this respect the kitchen is quite small for a big property - not an issue for us as we often used the BBQ - but the overhead hob extractor is too low and catches the unwary! There were occasions when hornets around the pool - unheated at this time of the year - caused some problems but maybe to be expected on a hot summer week. The wifi was not working in the chalet during our visit. Overall a great family holiday with lots of happy memories.

Outstanding property!

Where do I start! We all had the most incredible week stay here and we all fell in love with the place. It couldn’t have been cleaner… was absolutely immaculate from top to bottom. From bed sheets to kitchen utilities and everything in between was of a lovely high quality which made for an extremely comfortable stay. The pool and BBQ area were well equipped and I have no words for the river at the bottom of the garden where we all spent a lot of time relaxing and catching fish which our children enjoyed more than we thought they would. The jacuzzi was lovely and warm and very large. We all enjoyed the pool table and we even held a ‘ping pong championship’ which was a lot of fun. The little village was very pretty and a short walk and the zoo was incredible being labelled the best in Europe. The hosts are amazing, with very fast responses to any queries we had and were more than helpful, so thanks again for that. Twelve of us stayed here and we couldn’t have had a better week, from Grandparents down to the children. We could not of wanted anymore than we received here. I could not recommend this place enough and would recommend it to any friends or family. 10/10 👍

Wonderful getaway in the Loire

The house was ideal for us. We had 10 adults in our family and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We spent several afternoons lounging by the pool. We were there 14 days had ages ranging from 24 to 84 so the space provided was wonderful. It was in a very lovely setting by the river. Everyone had a wonderful time and would love to come back every year. Thanks again for your help and allowing us to stay in your amazing home!

Fantastic, well equipped house in lovely grounds

We had a fabulous week staying in Cellettes and the house provided lots of entertainment for adults and teenagers alike. The accommodation is versatile, with the separate annex being fantastic for nocturnal teenagers! The river offered a picturesque fishing spot, with the shade also offering a cool spot to sit and relax from the summer heat. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for bbqs, and the swimming pool was the perfect temperature. Hugo, who met us arrival, was very helpful, and followed up any questions we had quickly by text. A great week!

Family getaway

We had a lovely week staying in Celettes with my family. Absolutely loved the house and all the amenities. Pool and the rowing boat were huge hits. Loved the pooltable, ping pong table and jacuzzi aswell. Location was great lot's of Chatéaus and little villages close by. Blois only 15 min drive away too. Village bakery and shop were easily reached by foot within a 7 min walk or so from the house. Village bar nor Restaurant was never open which was a bit of a shame. Showers in the extra guest house plus towel rack functioned but not properly and would need fixing. No issues otherwise would highly recommend the place :) thanks!

Family stay

Fantastic We we were a family group of 9 including 2 children and an infant. Our stay could not have been better. The photos don’t do justice to the property. We especially enjoyed the pool. The home is beautifully furnished and bedrooms were very comfortable. The town itself is extremely sparse however a small bakery is within walking distance or a short drive. The location is great for visiting the major chateaus and Blois is minutes away with fine dinning The host was very accommodating.

Lovely in Loire

Wonderful stay in Cellettes with 4 couples. The house is spacious, airy and beautifully appointed. Swims in the heated pool and jacuzzi were a delight. Lovely riverbank view from the poolside terrace and from inside the kitchen. We enjoyed an excellent dinner at a restaurant within walking distance of the house-La Vielle Tour. The boulangerie and patisserie are steps away and a large supermarket is an 8 minute drive. The star of our stay were the owners. They couldn't have been nicer or more attentive to our needs. Thank-you Elisa and family.

Great position - well cared for - excellent facilities

A thoroughly enjoyable stay.The property had comprehensive facilities and was excellently maintained and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the quietness of the location and also being close to the Chateaux that we were keen to visit. We enjoyed reading our books at the bottom of the garden with the view of the river and the tranquilly of peace and silence! The owners were extremely helpful and informative plus a real pleasure to be with - nothing was too much trouble. Should we be visiting the area in the future we would have no hesitation in coming back!

Idyllic spot near the beautiful village of Cellettes.

We spent 2 weeks in this beautiful house in Cellettes. We were friends and family and the house suited us all perfectly. The weather was beautiful, which meant the pool and great BBQ area were used every day. The house offered plenty of space and we loved the large dining table for occasional evening meals. Cellettes offers everything you need - we loved walking to the boulangerie (closed Monday) and we had a lovely meal at La Vielle Tour. We also had the odd drink at le Lion d’Or, which is lovely. We visited Blois and Villandry and kayaked down the Loire - there is just so much to do! We really loved every minute of our stay in this most beautiful house - full of charm. Elisa was on hand if needed - and the pool and hot tub were tested by the pool man twice a week. I would recommend this property without reservation and hope to revisit to carry on our exploration of this area.

The house was delightful. We were a family of 13, 11 in the house including 5 children and 2 in the pool house. We all had a wonderful time, the swimming pool and jacuzzi were well used and backing onto the river was also a delight. We took our own kayak even though there was a boat available. There were shops in the village for bread, groceries etc. and the property was not far from loads of chateaux. A great holiday was had by all. Thank you Elisa.

Perfect location ,plenty of space and the pool and facilities ideal.

The best holiday house we have stayed inn France. Elisa and family made us very welcome and the location(a short walk into the village for bread and provisions each morning) cycling routes, the pool, the river and nearby restaurants made for a wonderful holiday. The house is perfect for small and large groups alike. Many happy evenings were spent eating by the pool and playing card games into the evening with the help of some wine from a nearby winery!
