Inge Rietveld from Oegstgeest,
We had a great stay. The house was lovely and it stayed nice cool, even in warm weather. The pool was great and the pool alarm made sure that our small children could walk freely in the garden without supervision. We had a very warm welcome.
Comment from Daniel Hogan
Inge Thank you for your kind comments, we are glad you all enjoyed your stay with us.
Familie Driessen from Vlissingen,
We hebben als gezin zeer genoten van ons verblijf in gite Anjou. De gite is ruim en gezellig ingericht. Wij verbleven er met ons gezin van 5. We genoten van de dieren en het fijne zwembad. En ook van de rust van het platteland. De beheerders Mike en Sandi zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Les Touches ligt centraal om steden als Saumur en Angers te bezoeken en andere activiteiten te ondernemen zoals een kanotocht op de rivier Thouet. Kortom, we hadden een heerlijke week!
Comment from Daniel Hogan

Matthieu Blanchard from Pont St Martin,
Superbe séjour chez Sandi et Mike ainsi que leurs animaux !!!
Mes enfants ma femme et moi même avons adoré ces vacances au calme dans les vignes. Superbe piscine et logement spacieux et confortable malgré la chaleur ! Léger bémol pour les rideaux car manque d'opacité au vu du soleil.
Pour un moment détente au calme entre amis ou en famille, je recommande !
Merci.
