Fantastic Cottage
As a family we stayed at the end of August. The property was easily the best rental cottage we have ever stayed in. Very roomy and fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality. We loved the outdoor electric grill plate on the terrace which we have never used before, so much cleaner than a barbecue. As we have a daughter who is slightly autistic and also has Type 1 diabetes we always try and find good quality accommodation as we tend to spend more time there than other families might do as we often have to limit our days out if our daughter gets tired and this property fitted our needs perfectly. Our hosts Francine and Claude were marvellous and very helpful to me when on day 1 I had an issue with my car and thought I needed a garage. Claude accompanied me to the garage and was able to communicate with them for me as my French is non-existent !! I was very thankful for the time they gave to help me. They both speak quite good English so we were able to converse perfectly fine. If I have one suggestion for those staying here who are English speaking, there is a satellite TV box but it only has a couple of English speaking news channels available, BBC World and Sky News International. The TV is not a smart TV so as a suggestion for future travellers it might be wise to bring a dongle such as a Firestick or Chromecast that you may be able to access your streaming services via the good wi-fi at the premises. We had DVD's we brought so used the DVD Player for entertainment.

Luxury gite in the vineyards
This lovely property completely lived up to expectation and was even bigger upstairs than the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the garden and view (shady when needed) especially the birds, including redstarts and barn owls. The village is very handy and we made good use of the grocery shop (fresh bread) and the cafe which was excellent value for morning coffee or traditional lunch. Many places to visit nearby whether by bike or in the car, however we were quite content to enjoy the surroundings from the garden. Thank you.

Week in Noizay with friends and family
The property was ideal for our trip - bigger than it appears on the photos, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden was a delightful place to relax and our hosts were friendly and welcoming but not at all intrusive. The location of the property was excellent with two restaurants and a small shop within walking distance. There is also lots to discover in the wider area - gardens, chateaux, markets and restaurants....

Great property in the heart of the Loire Valley
We had a short (too short) one week stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing, in the middle of the vineyards. The property was very tastefully restored, and the inside is mixing touches of the past and many contemporary upgrades. Yet, it is just minutes away from the charming flare of Amboise, and from the bustling Tours. Well located if one wants to go to Chambord (1 hour drive), or Chenonceau (30 minutes). The owners are very friendly, and ready to help and provide some recommendations. We had a lovely time. Definitely a place to come back to.

Exceptional property, exceptional hosts
There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe Le Clos de Venise. As inspiring as the photographs are, they cannot convey the warmth and welcome of the owners, Claude and Francine and their caretakers, Michèle and Jacky. It’s not surprising that all of the reviews offer 5 stars. They cover most everything one can say about this exceptional property and our party of five (4 adults and a toddler) echo all the glowing comments. It's the little things that made our stay so memorable. • Watching the delight on our granddaughter’s face as she ran out to greet the sheep in the gardens every day. • Walking the acres of vineyards and gardens and pathways so quintessentially French. • Hiking, running, and bike-riding through endless vineyards and beautiful roads winding through surrounding towns. • Appreciating the splendor of the trellised roses as they burst into bloom during our two-week stay. • Enjoying dinners on the patio with our family while being serenaded by cuckoo birds. • Learning how to queue up for morning baguettes at L’Epicerie. • Buying far too many olives at the Friday and Sunday farmer’s markets in Amboise. • Appreciating the bottle of Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups Vin de France “Venise” left for us so much as to immediately head to Montlouis-Sur-Loire for a tasting and a case of their offerings. • Spending time with Francine and Claude and Michèle and Jacky over some wine and hors d'oeuvres and a roaring fire while seeing pictures of the before and after of the guest house and marveling at what a spectacular transformation it had undergone. All of the joys and activities we were so privileged to experience were enhanced so perfectly by our home in France. Clos de Venise brought charm and enchantment, peace, and a sense of romance to our cherished two weeks in France. Thank you Claude and Francine for sharing your home with us.

Claude and Francine, the owners of Clos de Venise, have done an outstanding job restoring this lovely property situated above the village of Noizay, conveniently located in the heart of the Loire Valley. The property includes a vineyard that produces an outstanding Bourgueil. The farm below has an extensive vegetable garden and a field with friendly animals. The guest house is done in a comfortable contemporary style with high ceilings and lots of light. Doors open onto a lovely patio with a panoramic view. Our hosts could not have be more hospitable and helpful. Their loving care and tasteful touches are found all around. C’est magnifique! J,C, and ML

Fantastic property in a great location for exploring the beautiful Loire Valley
The six of us were over the moon with Le Clos de Venise. From the moment we arrived at this stunning gîte on the estate of Claude & Francine Bobet’s vineyard we loved every minute. Our hosts were there on our arrival to give us a comprehensive tour of the property which exceeded our expectations. It is even more beautiful than the photos show. The interior has been very tastefully furnished with everything we could possibly need in the fully equipped kitchen and lounge area. The bedrooms were great and each had their own shower room. One is located downstairs, where there is also a separate toilet, and the other two upstairs, with a toilet on the landing to be shared. Our only tiny criticism is that it would have been nice to have had a toilet for each bedroom. The walls of the gîte are of very thick stone, so even in the very hot weather we experienced during our stay, we were lovely and cool inside. The tranquil location made for a very relaxing and restful week and we all slept very well. The village of Noizay is an ideal centre from which to visit the local town of Amboise and the chateau there. We also visited several other chateaux within easy reach of Noizay plus the larger city of Tours, There is a small village shop just minutes away for fresh bread and croissants and also a Super U around 3 Kms down the road for a larger shop and fuel. Claude & Francine were so kind and a very hospitable couple. They were always on hand if we needed anything and even presented us with some wine on our arrival. We would not hesitate to recommend Le Clos de Venise and we would certainly return. Thank you Claude and Francine.

Our stay was more than we could ever imagine! We appreciated everything from Claude and Francine’s warm hospitality to staying in a newly renovated cottage situated in a vineyard (yes, just like in a movie!), and central to all the attractions you visit the region for. The clarity of communication during reservation, prior to our arrival and throughout our stay was exemplary. We felt we visited a family, and are planning to return soon. Many thanks!

Clean and Spacious, Peaceful, Gorgeous, Phenomenal hosts! Although the listing pictures are amazing, they do nothing to really convey the calm and beauty that Le Clos de Venise provides. In addition to the beautiful property and proximity to many of the areas attractions, the hosts, Francine, Claude, Michelle and her husband were the kindest, most generous and lovely people. Our only regret is not having our French down well enough to sit and visit with them more over a glass of wonderful wine they shared with us. We will be back again!

Claude and Francine are extremely friendly and helpful hosts. They also gave us a fascinating tour of their vineyard and cave, with a tasting of their white wines! The property has been superbly renovated and provides a large open living area, retaining the character and charm of the original building. We spent time in the garden which has amazing views over the vineyard and Noizay towards the Loire. It is a few minutes walk to the village to buy the fresh baguettes each morning. It is easy to visit the town of Amboise and other Loire chateaux. We had a great 2 weeks and fully intend to return soon!

Beautiful house in idyllic setting
We have recently returned to the UK, having spent a wonderful week at Clos De Venise. As other reviewers have already said, the house looks even better than the photographs. Francine and Claude have renovated the property to a very high standard. It was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean, as well as being beautifully presented. We were greeted on arrival by Francine and Claude, who ensured that we were settled in and gave us very good recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions and local markets. They were also generous in giving us wine and grapes from their vineyard and other homegrown produce. The house is situated in a small village with a local grocery store, from where we were able to buy freshly baked bread and croissants each day. It is also a short drive to Amboise, a beautiful town, with lots of shops and restaurants plus a bi-weekly market. The house is perfectly situated to travel to many of the chateaus in the area and visit local vineyards for wine tasting. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the lawn with a glass of wine in the later afternoon taking in the view. We would definitely recommend this lovely house to anyone planning to holiday in the Loire Valley.

Clos de Veinse is a charming, 18th-century property in the small village of Noizay. It's on the grounds of a larger house, which is owned by the hosts Claude and Francine. It was, in fact, the dog kennel and has been beautifully restored to create a spacious and comfortable three-bed accommodation.
