Peaceful paradise

5 of 5

My husband and I recently had a short stay here in the 2nd week of our holiday. We arrived from Brittany after a very long ride in very very wet weather on our motorbike ( our choice for locations) to find a fabulous Gite with a small outbuilding which housed the washing machine and in where we hung our very wet biking gear to dry. Once in the Gite we found everything you could possibly need from bread, cheese, butter and just what we needed a bottle of wine. After a good nights sleep and a trip to the supermarket we where set for the week. The views from the garden are amazing so if you do not fancy a day out you can sit and watch the wildlife in the garden or the farmers tending their crops. We had a trip to one of the many Chateaux in the area which was a stunning place stretching across the river Cher. There is also a nice little bistro/bar in Villiers about 500m from the Gite which served ice cold beer or wine and had a dish of the day, we had to wait a few minutes to be served as the owner asked if it was ok to serve the local workers first. This is a must visit area and a beautiful place to stay in ( even had a garlic crusher and the owners make meals and preserves from their own grown food). We only wish we had been here for our whole two weeks, and if you go read the guest book before you plan any trips as we didn't read it until our last morning and realised there was so much to do.
