Stayed for a month in early summer with wife, kids, and a couple relatives. Loved the location in the valley: country side experience but stores, cities, and tourist sites within reach. Close to Cher river where kids played and we rented canoes for a short paddle to Chenonceau. Access to plenty of scenic fields, country, farmland for runs/walks right outside the door. Even Chenonceau is a nice 2km jog away. A wide variety of great castles and vineyards all a short drive away. Supermarket, home improvement store, Aldi all in small town short drive away. Miles of bike trails (along river, by sunflower fields, to playgrounds, etc) easily accessible along with bike rental facilities. Nearby Bléré with restaurants and an incredible park/playground for the kids. House was perfect home base with everything the family needed including stocked kitchen, good living room and dining room space, patio with chairs, table, and grill. Nice fenced/gated in yard for kids to run around, able to let them play without having to worry. Had all the elements we were hoping for and would highly recommend.
