“Fangen wir mal mit dem Positiven an: Die Region ist sehr schön; einige der schönsten Schlösser der Loire (Valençay, Chenounceau, Chaumont, Chambord) sind in relativ kurzer Zeit erreichbar (zwischen 20 Minuten und Dreiviertelstunde); im Haus ist es kühl - ein Segen in der sengenden Hitze. Man kann auch nicht sagen, dass etwas fehlt. Für uns sehr positiv: Haustiere sind willkommen. Man ist im Übrigen ziemlich weit weg von der Zivilisation, was selbstverständlich Vor- und Nachteile hat. Nun zu den negativen Punkten. Im Eingangsbereich riecht es auf Grund der hohen Feuchtigkeit ziemlich muffig, womit man in einem Höhlenhaus rechnen kann. Im Haus leben viele Insekten, aber keine lästigen: Jedenfalls gab es kaum Mücken. Eine Nacktschnecke haben wir auch gesichtet. Das Bad könnte auch mal renoviert werden; aus der Toilette kommen auch lästige Geräusche (es tröpfelt irgendwo ständig). Die Schlafzimmer sind geräumig und angenehm gestaltet. Die Betten sind jedoch zu kurz (wir sind keine Riesen, aber wir passten kaum rein). Darüber hinaus konnten wir das Gefühl nicht loswerden, dass sie durch irgendwelche unerwünschte Lebewesen bevölkert sind (mit Sicherheit wissen wir es nicht: Möglicherweise war es nur Einbildung). Sonst hat man den Eindruck, dass Möbel, einige der Elektrogeräte und auch sonstige Geräte und Gegenstände (Wäscheständer, Bügelbrett) von den Eigentümern erst dann aussortiert und den Gästen zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, als sie unbrauchbar/unansehnlich wurden. Freilich muss nicht alles nagelneu sein, aber hier wurde die Mindestgrenze deutlich unterschritten). Was uns am meisten gestört hat: Schwämme und Lappen waren so dreckig, dass wir uns nicht vorstellen können, dass die Gäste sie tatsächlich benutzt. Natürlich haben wir gleich neue gekauft. Noch ein Punkt: Im Hof steht ein Käfig, in dem Hunde gehalten werden. Mal sind diese ruhig, mal bellen sie auch über längere Zeiträume. Insgesamt hatten wir das Gefühl, dass ein sehr großes Potenzial da ist, das aber verschwendet wird: Verlangt wird trotzdem "der volle Preis". Das alles hat dazu geführt, dass wir schon nach vier Nächten weiter gezogen sind (gebucht hatten wir sechs). Aus diesem Urlaub nehmen wir auch gute Erinnerungen mit, die aber nicht mit dem Haus verbunden sind.”

“Great place and nice cave. Lots of space in and around the home. If you have big spiders including Web, lizards and mice in the house do not mind.”

“The property consists of half of a cave and th other half of a house that is built against. That gives a lot of space with three separate bedrooms. The interior is old but works fine. The house is at the end of a country road in the middle of the Loire region. It is very quiet but shops and towns are called at least 20 kilometers away. The location is very convenient to visit. Splendid castles We thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“The area there is to be recommended for nature lovers who return every meal in the apartment or do not want to go eat there because the area is not very tourist friendly!”

“excellent base for trips”

“There are two cave dwellings on the site. Philippe This is dated the 2. Old furniture, old beds and generally dated. However, this is more than offset by the "total experience". Setting is lovely, lots to do and see. Friendly owner with a vegetable garden where you frequently what gets out. When you are invited for a dinner (homemade) aperitif, make sure you first have bacon and eggs. You're so on your head! With children and dog we had a special experience. A wonderful week and we'll be back. ...... But in the other house.”

“For one week inhabit a cave is a great ervaring.Dit was strengthened by the great hospitality of the verhuurders.Bij arrival was a bottle of wine and a pot of homemade jam klaar.Later in the week we had a delicious homemade pie, egg carton, harricots vert own tuin.Toen we wanted to eat chicken, a chicken slaughtered and prepared for us (delicious chicken whose taste I will never forget). One evening we were taken for a walk in search of the bosdieren.In the first we were afraid for our privacy because the owners live on the same yard and a second rental cave stond.We had no problems with our buren.De cave house we lived in was pretty old and donker.Daardoor called the cave could experience feeling good. For people with allergies, this house is not recommended. The house next door was much more recent, much more light and modern ingericht.We had enjoyed and come back for sure.”

“We were there on October 12 and spent 4 nights geslapen.De owner is a very friendly guy just unfortunate that he does not speak English and we very little French, but with a little effort from both sides, we came out. Even replacing a lamp gave little trouble really super friendly man.Het actual house is so cool, we felt right at home, it was clean, tidy and a bottle of wine and jar of jam was ready and welcome gift. Even with frost it was easy to do and the humidity we found it better than expected despite two days nachtvorst.Mijn husband has asthma but had no problems. The area is very nice and quiet and there are many castles nearby. Highly recommended for people who love nature and tranquility. It is not wheelchair friendly, but you come away with crutches. I am less agile but for someone who can walk with crutches, it is doable. We certainly think about it again to go into that environment back.”

“The managers were very friendly to us and our children. They were often along with collecting eggs from the chickens and the like. In Villentrois is a nice swimming beach with playground and a lake, a 15-minute drive. The castle of Valancay is fun for young and old and less than 30 minutes. Walk from the house is fine, both short and long trips are mogelijk.De cave house is beautiful but humid so careful with asthmatics. You actually every day the fire burning.”

“Thank you for the wonderful time that caused us Philippe and his wife. Special thanks for the constant presence when we had questions. It was as if we had been invited by dear relatives. Thanks also for wine, flowers, fruit pickles and plum cake - delicious! The decor was simple, but it should probably be in a cave dwelling. We felt comfortable.”

“A spacious and very original, a warm welcome from M.Huguet with small gifts appreciated. Remarkable sites and magnificent castles within 50 km ... A house we relouerons with pleasure. Veronique and Eric Olivier”

“Making a new holiday experience, far away from everyday noise amidst the Natur.Wir have been received very hospitably by the family and we felt completely at ease.”

“The location of this particular house is beautiful. Initially be difficult to find by brief directions. The welcome is warm. The first days of rain making it inside the cave it is a bit gloomy. Fortunately after glorious sunshine. The cave itself is simply furnished but offers a huge space and everything is there. In particular, the bedrooms are very cozy. The proximity to the castles is very favorable. Valencay, Chambord, Chenonceaux and zoo Aignan are recommended. For small children, this house is suitable. Well bring a cot for that from the cottage is only suitable for small babies "s.De owner is building a cave house on his property'm very curious about the resultaat.Jochem, Ivonne and Kasper from Rotterdam”

“After a warm welcome (wine, flowers and jam) started for us one of the best vacation so toe.De cave house for a holiday, we found spacious and well equipped (iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner, plenty of kitchen utensils ...) the bedrooms are spacious and there is a children's chair and cot. In cooler weather it feels a bit clammy, but this can be remedied by stabbing LIKE THE WIND COMES FROM THE RIGHT DIRECTION (the fire at different pulls smoke more inside than the outside chimney. Too expect too much from the satellite TV, or ability to make a simple video or DVD player to connect to TV, Ostine and other dogs and chickens exerted such an attraction for our youngest daughter, they each animal good morning went wishes for breakfast but where were those kids who had promised her? Altogether we are surely satisfied with our stay at "les Gaulois" The weather was good, a few sluggish days but sunny for the rest and warm (about 25 °).'s tips for trips we got from the owner fell g good with it, so there was the "ville sousterain" and associated mushroom farm, the Parc de la Brenne, where we are in the "base de Loisirs de Bellebouche" us 2 days excellence”
