Our stay was great, the owners are very welcoming and include items in the gite that really make a difference. they were also really helpful when recommending places to visit. The gites are in fabulous grounds with plenty for adults and children to do, even table tennis matches with the owners daughter. The gite was great lots of room and a nice private garden area as well. Would definitely recommend it and hope to visit again soon.
Guest rating:
From the moment we arrived when Guy and Julie where there to greet us, we had the most brilliant holiday. The gite itself was fabulous, very well equipped and the beds were so comfortable. Julie even found a vase to put my flowers in. The view from the lounge/diner was to die for, with the most fantastic sunsets, which we captured on camera.
And now on to the hospitality that we encountered.Guy, Julie and Jade were extremely helpful and very informative about anything you asked them, and so very friendly with it. They made us feel very welcome and at home.Jade was lovely company and hit it off well with our daughter Lucy. The pool was really lovely to come back to after a day out, so clean and inviting and we all had a great lot of fun.The gite shop was very handy and so good to have on hand when you ran out of milk etc and it was always service with a smile and a chat, and the homegrown tomatoes and veggies provided were delicious. And not to forget Troy the dog.I don't think I've ever seen such an energetic dog, and was great fun to watch him chasing the swallows(which he never caught).He has a lovely nature and loved to greet you.
All in all we all had a fantastic holiday which we feel was excellent value for money, and have already recommended the Tranquille Vienne gites as a place to stay with our family and friends. We still hope to be able to move to this area of France sooner rather than later, and will keep in contact. A BIG THANK YOU AGAIN TO Julie,Guy and Jade for a great week!!
