Beautiful home with wonderful hosts!
Our family of five really enjoyed our four-night stay at Maison des Arts House, and particularly appreciated the very warm hospitality of Leticia and her son, Alex. We were welcomed to their spacious, clean, and well-appointed home and shown around the absolutely lovely grounds. The pool was a wonderful bonus during the hot summer days. We loved hanging out together with our hosts, conversing over wine and cheese. The only downside was the absence of fans, especially in the upstairs bedrooms, which were stifling hot with the windows closed, and bug magnets with the windows opened. Overall, this was a wonderful base for our exploration of the Loire Valley chateaux. Thank you, Leticia and Alex! We hope to see you again!

Elegant site from which to explore Chenonceau and the banks of the Cher.
The property is very much as advertised. The main room is large with high ceilings, full of interesting art, and cool even on hot days. The two bedrooms are upstairs, and the larger one is very big and stunningly painted.
The kitchen is attached and well equipped, and there is a nice covered terrace next to it.
The garden is very large, children can play there for hours.
The swimming pool is ideal for a family, with both a shallow part (90cm?) for the younger ones and a deeper part for more experienced swimmers. The water and pool are kept in good condition.
The whole is located on the outskirts of the pleasant village. Good bakery and small grocery located within walking distance
The hostess Leticia is very kind and welcoming.

Toller Aufenthalt mit sehr netter Vermieterin
Wir haben tolle Tage im Kunst-Haus verbracht. Die Vermieterin war sehr bemĂŒht, dass wir uns wohlfĂŒhlen. Das Anwesen ist einzigartig - insbesondere der Pool war eine gute Abwechslung nach unseren AusflĂŒgen. Der Ort ist gut gelegen, sodass man zĂŒgig die Schlösser und z.B. den Zoo besuchen kann. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit! Vielen Dank!
Leuke, rustige woning... Met super zwembad
Rustige omgeving.

Familienurlaub Juli 2020
Ein rundum perfekter Urlaub. Das Anwesen bietet 2 FerienunterkĂŒnfte, wir waren jedoch die einzigen Mieter und hatten den riesigen Garten und den Pool fĂŒr uns allein. Das Haus hat einen etwas altertĂŒmlichen Charme, was jedoch zusammen mit den vielen Kunstwerken den ganz besonderen Reiz ausmacht. Unsere jĂŒngste Tochter (10) hat besonders das MĂ€rchenzimmer gefallen. Leticia spricht perfekt deutsch und ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die sich herzlich um uns und unsere WĂŒnsche gekĂŒmmert hat. Das Haus liegt in unmittelbarer NĂ€he zum Schloss Chenonceau, wo man mit gemieteten Kajaks auf der Cher unter dem Schloss durchpaddeln kann. Mit unseren FahrrĂ€dern konnten wir leicht das Schloss Montpoupon und das Schloss Royal dâAmboise erreichen. Eine rundum gelungene Woche. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur wĂ€rmstens empfehlen.
Viel Raum, grosse Schwimmbad, alles sauber und schon , echte Schloss fur Familie, kreative Atmosfere, viel Kunst uberall, sehr gute Lage und sehr gastfreundliche Letizia.
