Customer reviews

a month ago Christian Barbier

Superb quiet stay in the Gîte La Maison de Françoise!
From the welcome to the return of the keys, everything was perfect.
The cottage is of a very high standard, with very comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms, all equipped with a shower.
The kitchen, very well appointed and perfectly equipped, is a friendly living space where it is good to get together.
The terrace with barbecue offers a splendid view of the panorama of the surrounding vineyards (Don’t miss the sunset!).
Enjoy tasting the excellent wines of the owner, Eric Louis, and the tours he offers to learn everything about the Sancerre appellation (visit to the cellars, vineyards by golf cart, etc.).
Its goat farm is also worth visiting where you will learn everything about goat breeding and the making of the famous Crottin de Chavignol, and leave with the excellent cheeses.
In short, an essential address for an ideal stay.

Very popular family stay in this beautifully located gîte: superb view of the vineyards.
Well-equipped kitchen, very comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, a real plus. The table football was a big hit with both children and adults! The weather being sunny, we were able to enjoy the terrace and the garden at our leisure. Warm welcome from the owner, Mr. Eric Louis.

The decoration is neat, there are a multitude of small decorative details in the rooms and bathrooms!!
The kitchen is very well appointed and is very functional with a large capacity oven and dishwasher. The dishes are very neat
There is everything you need to have a good time there!!
Near Bourges, we had a lovely visit to the cathedral and the private gardens or hortillonnages.
Thanks to our hosts

Superb, I highly recommend. Very comfortable, too bad there isn’t a lounge area with sofa and television for everyone. The rooms are superb as are the bathrooms!!! We weren’t able to enjoy the outdoors due to bad weather but we will come back.
