Erholung im Eichenhain
Sehr erholsamer Aufenthalt in absolut ruhiger und naturnaher Lage. Sehr gute Küchenausstattung, viel Platz für alle. lediglich die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war etwas schwierig. Sie hat sich meist gar nicht oder nur sehr spät gemeldet.

Erholsame Tage im Weinbaugebiet
Wir haben einen schönen und erholsamen Familienurlaub in Monthou-sur-Cher verbracht. Das Ferienhaus ist ein sehr geräumiges und athmosphärisches altes Bauernhaus, das sehr schön renoviert wurde und gut ausgestattet ist. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der große Garten mit Grill-/Lagerfeuermöglichkeit, aus dem man den Sonnenuntergang über Feldern und Weinbergen genießen kann. In unmittelbarer Nähe des Hauses lassen sich Spaziergänge durch die Weinberge unternehmen, etwas weiter finden sich im kleinen Ort Monthou-sur-Cher alle wichtigen Geschäfte (Bäcker, Schlachter, Supermarkt etc.). Für Ausflüge bieten sich neben den Loire-Schlössern, Orléans und Tours etwa die Stadt Loches, der Zoo Beauval und die Réserve de la Haute Touche an; weiterhin kann man auf dem Cher auch sehr schön Kanu fahren. Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder.
