Holiday apartments and houses in Orleans

The place is fabulous: beautiful trees, a fantastic heated pool, and a very peaceful and quiet setting overall. The farmhouse itself is warm and cosy.

However, there is a major discrepancy regarding privacy. The ad explicitly states that there are no neighbours, which was our main reason for booking, as we specifically sought complete privacy. In reality, there is a large house right next to the farmhouse—omitted from the listing photos—and during our stay, the owner arrived and stayed there twice. We complained about this intrusion the first time to BelVilla. Although the owner apologised, they promptly did it again: before our last night, the owner announced he was coming over to stay yet again, which forced us to pack up, leave early, and go home.

Secondly, while the house is great, it is not perfect. The Wi-Fi is free and functional, but very slow. We also experienced a few minor issues with the drainage and lighting, though nothing major.

Overall, it is a lovely property, but potential guests looking for total solitude should be warned that the "no neighbours" claim is inaccurate and host interruptions ruined the mid and end of our stay

The older couple who rented the house were very nice and approachable. We rented the same house 12.5 years ago. It was striking that absolutely NOTHING has changed since then. Same decor, same knives, forks and spoons, same cups, same old pots and pans, plates, cups. Yes, even the soap dish in the bathroom, the rubber floor mat in that bathroom, were the same. Even the bedcases in the bedrooms were the same. The tables and chairs, the sofa, everything had remained the same. The bedding was neat and clean. It's a shame that the entire interior had not been updated in all that time. A truly missed opportunity in our opinion... The house itself had not undergone any major or minor maintenance. Also a missed opportunity in this respect. Here and there the plasterwork now showed cracks and there were damp spots in the plasterwork. However, the location of the gite is fantastic. In short, a comprehensive and major renovation and/or update of the entire house and the entire furnishings including the kitchen would give the stay much more potential. We also thought it was a pity that the view from the garden over part of the village was this time blocked by vegetation in the garden. The unique and high location of the gite and garden have unfortunately now been largely destroyed. Extremely unfortunate, really a shame... The garden set was also still the same. The oval table is nice and large, but the garden chairs turned out to be really rickety and desperately needed to be replaced. The garden set was also in a difficult spot and placing and using the garden chairs around it was more than difficult. It was a pity that the table was weighed down with items, so we could not move it and therefore use it better. The washing machine in the basement made a deafening noise and the whole thing was literally coming to an end. Even the few children's toys in the basement were the same as those from 12.5 years ago. Also the WiFi

What a lovely house with lots of space and a beautiful garden. In particular, the cordiality of Luc, Sylvia and their children makes it a worldly place to take your vacation. Lots to see in the area, beautiful scenery and castles gebrek.Wij not have spent a week with our three children and have really enjoyed it, it was a hot week and therefore have often visited the pool in Neuville aux Bois (5 km) . Really recommended!
