Holiday homes with private pool in Écueillé

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.

In 2015 we were here for the first time, the two of us. We have had time so fine that we in 2016 (from late August to mid-September) here come back again. This time with our son (1 year old). It was again delicious. The rest, the birds, the beautiful garden, swimming pool (where you can pull laps), the view. The pictures on the website really was nothing said too much. We had in 2015 and this time rented the big house. The smaller house is also very nice (and would certainly spacious enough for three of us). We will undoubtedly be back with the three of us, but think also about to agree to go with friends or family. We would rent the smaller and the larger house, and we have the rich only. The village of Montrichard is located about 2 kilometers away, down the slope. I went to get bread every morning on the bike at one of the four or five bakeries (with 2 gears a sporting effort, but doable). The village is cozy evenings and you have a choice of several restaurants with terraces. Furthermore, we have been in include Blois and Amboise (both highly recommended), and one of the best zoos I know in the Zoo de Beauval (and trip advisor agrees with me). Coincidentally we met the owners. They were very responsive and helpful (with tips about the environment, but also help launch cable), and they felt very well where tenants need of. The latter speaks of all the houses, equipment, garden. The bigger house is for tall people, be careful preservation of many classic details also means that my 1.90m especially in the upstairs bedrooms to watch out for the beam structures. But this small sacrifice I could not deterred in any case, to come back here again!

Les Drageonnières is a beautiful place, at the end of a cul-de-sac, in the middle of and surrounded by beautiful nature, forests, vineyards, fields. From the lovely swimming pool (lovely to relax at the edge of it) you have a beautiful view of the surroundings. The world seems far away. An oasis of peace that is pleasantly disturbed by the singing of larks, collared redstarts and other songbirds, the chattering of a pheasant rooster, the rustling of deer, etc. No barking dogs! Via a beautiful road along the fields you can walk to Montrichard in about fifteen minutes and at the end of the path you are suddenly back in civilization. Then quickly back to the soothing tranquility of Les Drageonnières. The cottage where we spent a week (La Ferme) is nice and spacious for six people. The kitchen is very well equipped (including two refrigerators, a freezer, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine, endless ladles and other kitchen utensils) and there is plenty of seating downstairs. (We mostly sat outside, by the way.). Good mattresses and good pillows, in short, everything perfect. The fact that the WiFi occasionally faltered actually suited the feeling of being away from the daily bustle.
