  • Every aspect of our stay at Clos de Louy was spectacular.  The accommodations were perfect.  The house is beautifully done and worked wonderfully for three couples.  It is ideally located in the western Touraine and allowed easy access to the chateaus of the eastern Touraine.

  • We have indeed been very satisfied with our stay at Le Clos de Louy, and the house fulfilled all our expectations

    Gudrun (Allemagne) - Août 2020

  • We enjoyed the stay very much. Le Clos de Louy was exceptional. Nestled next to a castle set within vineyards, the cottage is beautifully and comfortably appointed with all modern amenities. The yard is delightful with a hot tub and access to a tennis court. Check in and check out was timely and professional. We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay in the Loire thanks to this magical spot. Merci!

  • Exceptionnel !

    Guillaume G. (Paris) - Aout 2019

  • Built hundreds of years ago, in the ancient manner that endures with such beauty in the local countryside here, this house is very very old, but once you step inside, it is very very modern. I can find nothing about this holiday home that I would change. I didn' t want to leave and I do want to come back to this utterly divine experience. This is the best Loire Holiday House Ever!
