Loire reunion

We met dear American friends for the first time since the pandemic to visit chateaux and gardens, to walk along the Loire, to explore Tours and Blois and to cook together and explore local restaurants. The house was a perfect base for all these activities and we loved sitting in the sunny courtyard and around the dining table, chatting into the evening. Nathalie gave us a great tip for a walk and was super helpful with all queries. We highly recommend this lovely gite.

A beautiful gitê in a great location.

La Boussole is a wonderful gitê, with 3 good sized en-suite bedrooms, a communal living and cooking area and the most relaxing and private of courtyards where you can also dine al fresco. The gitê is beautifully designed inside and out and absolutely immaculate. Communication with the host Nathalie was simple, either though email or telephone and she is close by should you need her during your stay, although never imposing. Location is absolutely perfect, approx 400 m from the banks of the Loire and located between the two beautiful towns of Amboise and Blois, with château's galore and activities such as kayaking, cycling and hot air ballooning all on your doorstep. Although there are many good restaurants in the region the best we dined at was La Croix Blanche, only 300 m from La Boussole. Looking forward to returning soon as there's still so much for us to see and do in the region and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else but La Boussole. Merci Beaucoup Nathalie - c'était parfait.

A charming , stylish and comfortable Gite.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this very well-appointed Gite. Its location for sight-seeing is excellent and it was a warm and welcoming place to return to. The decor is stylish and full of character; the furnishings are very comfortable and having a shower in each bedroom was a bonus. We were impressed by the fantastic spiral staircase and, if someone in your party were to be unable to manage them, there is a great bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Nathalie was extremely helpful and lovely to deal with.

Veuves Gite

The property is much larger than it appears from the photographs, especially the bedrooms. The courtyard is idyllic. Nathalie was very helpful and provided us with information which we would not have found ourselves. The Gite is ideally situated for visiting Blois and Amboise
