We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of one week. Hosts are next door and were very welcoming and friendly. Nonetheless, we were totally private. The house is extremely well equipped and lacks nothing. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

Wonderful Gîte and hosts
Fabulous property perfectly equipped and in a nice location a short drive from a beautiful village. The hosts Didier and Patricia were really friendly and helpful. They produce their own apple juice which was delicious. The gîte was absolutely beautiful and was missing absolutely nothing, the quality of the decor and fittings were excellent, it had plenty of outdoor space as well which was great given the weather for most of our stay. A big thank you to Didier and Patricia for a fabulous stay.

Fabulous
This home was immaculate. The owners had thought of everything and all was of the best quality. The refurbishment and decoration had been done in the best taste. Extremely comfortable to return to after a day out cycling. Slept very well aa the beds were so comfortable. Didier and Patricia are a lovely couple. I just wish I spoke enough French to have a longer conversation with them. It was convenient that they were just next door. Highly recommended!

Five Star accommodation in a Five Star location
What a lovely place to stay. Fabulous gite in a lovely rural setting, close to all that the Loire has to offer. Our incredibly welcoming hosts, Didier and Patricia, had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. From the lovely bottle of local wine and fresh apple juice to the basic necessities of dishwasher tablets and washing capsules, our every need was catered for! The cottage itself was extremely well appointed but maintained all the charm of its original self. The garden and shaded patio provided the perfect place to relax and unwind with a glass of wine at the end of a day visiting the many attractions of this beautiful region of France. We will definitely be returning again in the future. Un très bon séjour. Merci Didier et Patricia. Nous reviendrons à l'avenir.

Spotless cottage with charming hosts
L'Abeille Bleue is a recently and lovingly renovated cottage in a quiet neighborhood just a short distance from the Azay-Le-Rideau castle. There is plenty to do in the area besides visiting the many beautiful castles, though. Biking, canoeing, kayaking, and the Doué Bioparc are just some of the possibilities. And you won't find kinder hosts anywhere. At one point during our stay I needed to see an eye doctor urgently and Didier drove me to the hospital himself. My family had a wonderful time and we look forward to returning some day.

Lovely house with wonderful hosts
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. Didier and Patricia are great hosts and made our vacation week to a great stay. The house is very complete and clean with comfortable beds, nice garden, even two bikes and table tennis table. Many things to do in the environment. We can really recommend l'Abeille bleu!

L'Abeille Bleue is a very clean, stylish, comfortable and well equipped holiday rental. I would highly recommend it as a base from which to explore the Touraine region of the Loire.

Summer get-away....
Dear Patricia & Didier, huge thanks for a fabulous stay in your beautiful holiday home. It really is very comfortable and has everything you need for a family holiday. We loved the sun terrace and made huge use of the garden for family games. It was a lovely area of the Loire to visit, with plenty of options for outings nearby. We enjoyed visiting the Chateaus and the numerous cycling routes nearby. We also enjoyed visiting the vineyards and loved your recommendation of the local one!! Thanks for your fabulous hospitality and we will recommend your house to our friends and family. We may well return........best wishes, Simon, Louise & Fraser.
