The complex is well situated being relatively close to Azay-le-Rideau centre, and is useful as a base for sightseeing and cycling trips. The complex is clean and tidy and the reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Laundry pickup and return was very easy. The complex had reasonable Internet connection for an additional cost.

The property was clean but very small inside. The house can theoretically accommodate 6 people but we found it cramped with just 2 of us. In my opinion, 2 adults and 2 children would definitely be the maximum. The kitchen area cannot cope with more that one person at a time, and it was difficult to get in and out of bed as the beds were so close to the walls. The settee wasn’t particularly comfortable as it was a sofa bed.

Whilst we were there, the weather was extremely hot, but the house did not have air conditioning or electric fans. We found that we had to leave the windows open to get any ventilation, something that we would never do if we had young children with us (in that case, you’d just have to swelter). Another unpleasant thing were the ants which entered the house, not only under the front door, but also seemingly through the walls.

There was sufficient cutlery, plates, cups, etc, except for the lack of a tin opener. Thankfully we took some cleaning equipment (j-cloths, washing up liquid, soap) as there was nothing there. The accommodation was generally quite ‘tired’.

The tennis court looked decent but, as we didn’t play, I cannot give first hand experience. The swimming pool was good to cool off in during the hot weather, but as the pool was kidney shaped, it was difficult to swim properly when more than a couple of people were in. It appeared that the pool was intended to be a spa pool as it had vents but these were never on.
