Holiday home with BBQ in Cussay

The cottage is much bigger than the photos showed (we had the one closer to the pool) and Nina was really helpful. The kitchen is very well equipped, including herbs, spices etc. The only thing to be aware of is that the oven is actually a microwave/oven combination and you can only fit one oven tray in it when cooking, which is a bit limiting when cooking for 6 and needed some planning - but there is a big BBQ outside. The pool is very good for young kids with steps, a shallow end and gated. Its in a lovely peaceful setting, we saw deer and rabbits in the evening while eating outside. Amboise, an amazing zoo (Beauval) and several chateaus (Clos Luce is good for young kids) are all within 20-25 minute drive. You won't see everything in a week. For EV drivers theres a good charge point in about 1 mile away in Montrichard and also most towns in the area.

Very nice and spacious holiday home. Very quiet environment. Pleasant garden for aperitif and dinner in the evening in the sun. Very warm welcome on arrival (including bottle of Chinon wine) and departure. Ideally located as a base for visiting the region (Chinon, Villandry, Azay-le-rideau, Fontevraud, Richelieu, Crissay, etc) for cyclists who like a challenge - with steep climbs between vineyards and sunflower fields. Highly recommended.

Very nice renovated farm house to good standards. Very quiet. Walking distance from small forests great to walk the dog. Unfortunately have not seen any game. Not to far from beautiful castles, villages and vineyards. We were unlucky with the weather, but that did not spoil our holiday. Supermarkt about 6 minutes away. One of our favorite stays in France.
