Vacation rentals in Civray-sur-Esves

Everything was perfect: Matthieu is a welcoming, caring, professional, present but discreet host. The estate is just beautiful, relaxing and super well maintained. The accommodation is as described, bright and clean. A need to escape everyday life, a rejuvenation in the Domaine de la Chaume, a break in paradise on earth.

We had a great stay in Descartes! The host was very helpful and made sure we could get in even though we arrived late. The house is extremely spacious—more than enough room for the three of us. The kitchen was the highlight: sunny, well-equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine, and the island was perfect for cooking together. We also enjoyed the large dining table and TV in the dining room—great for relaxing as a family.

had a great stay with Didier and his wife. What a beautiful house. Spatially set up so you certainly don't have to walk in each other's way. However, it is handy with small children and grandmother who came to visit. A very spacious kitchen with all the comforts. I would just bring my own sharp knives that I missed. Clean rooms, kitchen, baby cot and high chair. Also fun games for the kids. Nice homemade tree fort and a swing! The house is in the countryside and trips to a nice town is usually a 45 minute drive. Don't mind this. The pool was a delight for swimming. Unfortunately, we had less than hoped for. But Didier turned on the heat pump for us and the canopy over it and then it is certainly good to spend time in the pool. Our son has overcome his fear of water here and couldn't get away! What a delight to see! We are extremely grateful to Didier and Betrix for our great stay! Recommended!

Jeff and Oscar have undertaken an impressive project with their chateau renovation. They have really great taste, and they’ve done a solid job maintaining the historic atmosphere while modernizing. While the location requires driving, the towns of Chinon and Richelieu are quick drives and both have lots of charm and dining options. Jeff and Oscar are really helpful resources for enjoying the area.

Amazing host taking care of an amazing little gem in Descartes, we arrived for a stopover on our way to Paris and what a nice cute little place. Thanks Julie for accepting our request last minute!

What a beautiful place! Sylvie has created a tranquil idyl in the heart of the countryside. I loved my stay there and just wish it was longer. The gîte is spacious and completely spotless, and has every amenity you could need. Importantly, the house stayed cool throughout the whole of our stay, even during temperatures well over 30 degrees. I slept so well in my spacious, comfy, peaceful bedroom. The garden is the real show-stopper of this place - it’s huge, with lots of lawn space, beautifully tended plants and large fruit trees which provide dappled shade. (You can eat the plums!) There are lots of outdoor seating areas and tables for eating or reading your book in the shade or the sun. A very peaceful space. Sylvie is a wonderful host - friendly, vibrant, knowledgeable and so helpful. We felt completely private but she was there whenever we needed help with something. We were also lucky to arrive in time for delicious fresh tomatoes and courgettes from the garden :) Thank you!

Ian and his wife were very nice, caring, and very accommodating. We were able to check out a little later than we expected and Ian asked us every time if we wanted to leave the pool open or not. Thanks again for everything

Spent the week with my wife and 3 grown-up children with our 4 dogs. The house was perfect as it was split into 2 different homes with 2 kitchens and joining door. Janet was a great host right from the booking. Very responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about the area which made our trips out really amazing as there are some beautiful places in the area. The town of Cussay is walkable but there’s nothing really there so you do need a car. We travelled to nearby towns and cities during the day and enjoyed the country walks with our dogs in the evenings. The only downside for us is that it was very remote therefore little phone signal and internet but I’m sure lots of people would find that exactly what they wanted.
