The Studio:

As many have said, this is an idyllic spot, especially the rose garden
K Hughes,UK

The Studio is cosy and comfortable and of course we have loved everything La GM has had to offer . A thousand "thank you's!" 
S Connors, UK

We had a grand time at la Grande Métairie! lazy days and star-filled nights - wish it was for longer...
C Warburton, UK

The Cottage:

Even more enjoyable than last year's.... but mostly we enjoyed the exquisite charm of La GM, croqueting among the butterflies, tennis in the sunshine, and the refreshing pool. Magical!
A Hume, UK

A very restful and much needed week in the midst of such peace and beauty.

Heavenly hideaway, everyone felt extremely happy here, ideal for our family gathering.
Thank you for the lovely figs, tomatoes, grapes. All were glorious.
E West UK

Three generations, happy together
In pool and on court, and tant pis the weather
(Two of our number we hope now united,
Romantically bound in the barn candle-lighted)
With Rose in her garden and Richard on song,
The corn and the sunflowers and owls all night long:
We've all been enchanted by Vacance Touraine
And if you're still here we'll come back again!

THE STUDIO

………a line to express our thanks for the most marvellous stay in France…. We found the studio to be extremely comfortable and beautifully equipped and that, coupled with the situation and the facilities you offer, contributed to the most relaxing weeks holiday that we have ever spent anywhere.

A wonderful week spent here in “The Studio”. Glorious weather; swims in the pool; walking through la Forêt de la Guerche. The wildlife seems teeming with wild flowers, butterflies, dragonflies and birds.

To the vale of Grand Châteaux, we tips our old chapeaux
To our friends we say “bonne chance” as we
Say adieu to France”.

My stay was absolutely BRILLIANT. I really enjoyed the pool, plums and tennis court. I will recommend this place to all my friends.

Absolutely wonderful – the only thing missing is the plaque with “Heaven” written above the entrance gates.
J.Holmes UK

For us mob to spend two weeks together without falling out must mean one of the best holidays we have had as a family together. Options seem unlimited, but we opted for lazy days around the pool. Those odd days when we ventured out we discovered a delightful and friendly part of France, with plenty of history and culture.
P.Cunningham UK

We thought this place was rather like the Garden of Eden must have been (the serpents being replaced by countless charming lizards.)
R.Etherington UK

It felt like paradise! Charming cottage and studio. Beautiful grounds. Kids loved the tennis. We all loved the pool.
T.Carlson USA

A little slice of heaven- a window on another world for a moment.
