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....

A Haven in the Loire Valley
Clos de Venise is a truly lovely place to stay in the glorious Loire Valley. The house is warm - very important in December - very comfortable, beautifully appointed and located in a fabulous location. Claude and Francine are tremendous hosts - warm, friendly, welcoming and keen to help us enjoy our holiday. We spent a happy relaxing time here and visited a few of the enchanting Chateaus in the region.

Sejour merveilleux dans la Loire
If it had been possible to stay longer, then this would have been great. It is the best holiday location ever. The place was impeccable, very friendly welcome, accessible yet respectful of our privacy. Fresh vegetables from the garden, even suggestions for recipes and it was just delightful! And great views from the house and garden unto the valley!

Everything was fabulous! Great, friendly and welcoming hosts, and perfect setting for a relaxing week in the Loire. Thank you so much Claude and Francine for welcoming us to your home so generously. Great location for exploring the Loire valley, main challenge was pulling ourselves away from the patio view every morning. House was perfect, with everything you could possibly need! Thank you!

Perfect for a family holiday!
Francine and Claude were perfect hosts, even providing toys for our 3 and 5 year old. They knew we would be hosting a family dinner for the holidays with family who lived nearby and provided us with all the necessary tableware. They even decorated! The property is gorgeous and a short ride from Tours. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay, it was above and beyond expectations!

A wonderful week
A beautiful home in a great location, made even better by the hosts who did everything they could to welcome us, including going out of their way to fit stair gates for our toddlers. The pictures don’t do the place justice as little things like top quality appliances really set it apart from other properties we have stayed at.

Absolutely fantastic holiday!
We stayed here in the beginning July and at arrival were greeted by the very frendly hosts. As we entered the accomodation we noticed that the house is even more beautiful than expected from the pictures: spatious, beutifully renovated and furnished. We enjoyed every morning breakfast outside on the terras and every evening also with some wine and snacks. What a vacation! We will definitely return...

Exceptional in every sense
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!

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.

A beautiful house, superb setting, charming hosts
Le Clos de Venise is an exceptional property. The house is beautiful, extremely comfortable and equipped with everything you might need for your stay. We enjoyed every minute of our week there. The setting in the vineyard is superb. Note that the resident sheep is very friendly and likes to have a pat when you pass by on your way to buy the breakfast croissants at the little village epicerie. Claude and Francine are wonderful hosts – the nicest couple, friendly, informative about the region and its history, interesting to have a chat with and extremely generous with their wonderful wine, fresh produce from their vegetable garden and home-made jam, all greatly appreciated and devoured. Thank you to you both. We will look back on our stay at Le Clos de Venise with very warm memories and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

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

Ten stars - the best.
We have rented apartments in Paris and other places; but Le Clos De Venise was the best we have ever experienced. I can not begin to say enough good things about Le Clos De Venise - and its charming, friendly and caring owners - Claude and Francine. There were three of us (adults) and we stayed for just a month in the summer of 2014. Our regret is that we did not stay for two months - or three. Almost every day we visited chateau’s - ate déjeuner with wine out on the lawn in front of the house - then drove into Amboise for dinner. Life does not get better than this. Thank you so much, Claude & Francine - for our best vacation in years. Jim & Margaret & Cordelia

Amazing property in the Loire Valley
We stayed at Le Clos de Venise for one week in August 2015 with our 1 year old son and our parents (for part of the week). What an amazing property! It worked out great for a group of 5 as the layout provides privacy for different couples and for children. Claude and Francine were such warm and accommodating hosts. They welcomed us with some "griottes de la menthe" and wine from the grapes grown at their property. The property is large and newly renovated in a French style but with modern amenities. The views over the town and the vineyard are amazing at any time of day. Our son loved playing outside on the slide, with the toys they provided us (thank you!) and in the yard. He loved going down to visit the sheep on the property. We could walk down the hill and pick up fresh bread and croissants at the local store. For a family with a small child, this property worked out perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better space or better hosts for the week. Thank you so much Claude and Francine!

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.

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.

Elegant and charming Villa in the Loire Valley
We recently spent a week at Le Clos de Venise. We arrived late in the evening after getting lost on back country roads with the advice of our GPS. Francine was immediately available on the phone to help us with our directions and Claude was waiting for us on the street to guide us to the villa. The villa itself is magnificent, newly renovated with modern decor in an old stone house built into the side of the stone cliff. The house is fully appointed with everything you would need to cook a fantastic meal after going to one of the many local markets. The bedrooms are all large and beautifully decorated. It was cold and rainy for much of our time at the villa, but we spent our evenings in front of the fireplace recounting our days of visiting the many chateaux that make the Loire valley so famous. Our hosts were exceptional, they invited us over to their home (the main villa) one evening where they had a roaring fire. We enjoyed some cheese and wine made from the grapes in their vineyard. I cannot say enough about how generous, kind and welcoming Claude and Francine are as hosts. Access to the main Chateaux of the region is very easy from the villa. The town of Amboise is about 15 minutes away and in this town you will find a large market, lots of great restaurants, little shops and a Chateaux. In the Village of Noisay there is a small food store which carries fresh fruit, fresh bread and pastries and a good selection of other supplies you might need. We dined at the Chateau de Noisay, a relais restaurant, but frankly, I found the food very expensive and quite disappointing. There are better restaurants in Amboise. I would highly recommend this villa. We cannot wait to return. Thank you so much Claude and Francine.

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.

Lovely vineyard house close to Vouvray
This is a brilliant property. It’s an old vineyard house, stylishly converted and very well equipped. The description and photos are accurate. There is a lovely garden in front with chairs and loungers, which sadly we were unable to use because of the persistent rain. Claude and Francine are the best of hosts, welcoming, friendly but discreet. All in all, a great choice for a week in the Loire Valley
