This is an amazingly beautiful period property with lots of original features, we chose this property because it was so beautiful, we held our wedding ceremony there and everything was perfect, the property was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed, we were a party of 45 people and it did not feel crowded. The pool was a welcome addition to the property also.You would need a car if staying her as not accessible by public transport, but we knew that before booking.

We were a group of 22 adults 1 child.We had a fabulous time,so much space in the grange and Manoir,loads of things to do,in & around the house,the swimming pool with the retractable roof was an absolute triumph and kept all very happy.we were able to visit many of the lovely places within easy distance of the house.There is a railway station nearby which made travelling into Tours very easy,it also enabled us to pick up members of the party who arrived by train very easily.Futuroscope was within easy travelling time and some of the youngsters travelled there by car.David & Angelina( the owners) were very easy to contact,and always replied promptly to any queries we had.We would all recommend La Retardiere to anyone looking for a big,comfortable fun filled holiday destination.

An excellent return to France after missing out due to Covid The family is growing and we need a larger holiday home each year. La Retardiere accommodated 17 of us very easily. The location is rural but there are many attractions within short drives. Nothing to complain about The enclosed pool was the firm favourite We hope to return soon

Angélina's house was amazing for our get together with a big group of friends. Communication and planning was very easy from the beginning and we got all the details for the weekend. The house is great - has everything you need and more! Would definitely recommend

Il y a des gardiens juste à côté du manoir qui sont très gentil, serviable, là en cas de besoin A savoir il y a plusieurs petites cuisine et pas de grandes.

The property was exactly as described. The concierge could not be more helpful, though speaking some French is an advantage in communicating with him. There was plenty of room for two families without getting on top of each other, and the pool was wonderful in the heat. The only thing that would have made things a little easier would be the provision for doing laundry. Our children are all mid teens to early twenties, but if staying with small children a washing machine would have been useful. All the bedrooms were very comfortable, and having so many bathrooms was great. The children enjoyed the table football and table tennis as well as the pool. Having large enough tables for all to sit round to eat was lovely, and led to some lovely evenings all together.

We loved the house and it fitted 12 of us very comfortably. A lovely spacious open plan ground floor and all enjoyed the table football and swimming pool. Although the road runs along the bottom of the property as the lawn is huge and it is not a busy road this was not a problem - we are used to living in the middle of nowhere, so it really would not trouble anyone. The caretakers living next door were charming and very helpful whenever we had any queries. We had wonderful barbeques on the stunning terrace in the evenings and enjoyed exploring the castle at nearby Loche. Would thoroughly recommend the property.

This property is extremely large on 3 floors. It is very rustic in appearance and has a certain charm. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. We travelled with 4 grandchildren all under 4. The outdoor space was perfect for running around and playing games. The pool is fenced with a locked gate, although it is not heated but it is perfectly positioned for catching the summer sun. The house is situated off the D760 which can be busy but the garden is so big that this is not an issue. It is close to St Maure de Touraine with a weekly market on Friday and supermarkets. Places to visit are Lcohes - wednesday market, Tours, Chinon, Beauval zoo, la Haute Touche at Azay-le-Ferron, Amboise and more. All of which are within 60 minutes travelling time.
