The complex is well situated being relatively close to Azay-le-Rideau centre, and is useful as a base for sightseeing and cycling trips. The complex is clean and tidy and the reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Laundry pickup and return was very easy. The complex had reasonable Internet connection for an additional cost.
The property was clean but very small inside. The house can theoretically accommodate 6 people but we found it cramped with just 2 of us. In my opinion, 2 adults and 2 children would definitely be the maximum. The kitchen area cannot cope with more that one person at a time, and it was difficult to get in and out of bed as the beds were so close to the walls. The settee wasn’t particularly comfortable as it was a sofa bed.
Whilst we were there, the weather was extremely hot, but the house did not have air conditioning or electric fans. We found that we had to leave the windows open to get any ventilation, something that we would never do if we had young children with us (in that case, you’d just have to swelter). Another unpleasant thing were the ants which entered the house, not only under the front door, but also seemingly through the walls.
There was sufficient cutlery, plates, cups, etc, except for the lack of a tin opener. Thankfully we took some cleaning equipment (j-cloths, washing up liquid, soap) as there was nothing there. The accommodation was generally quite ‘tired’.
The tennis court looked decent but, as we didn’t play, I cannot give first hand experience. The swimming pool was good to cool off in during the hot weather, but as the pool was kidney shaped, it was difficult to swim properly when more than a couple of people were in. It appeared that the pool was intended to be a spa pool as it had vents but these were never on.
A stunning location. An amazing view. A lovely pool. Isolated, yet close to amenities. This is a delightful, rustic, family villa. The key word is "rustic". As one of my daughters commented, it's a bit like staying at Granny's - charming but everything's a bit past its sell by date. We liked the aged simplicity but it might not be to everyone's taste, and trying to cook for more than 6 adults is a struggle. This is definitely not a villa for 12. The kitchen and cooker is just too small and while the kitchen is well stocked, not everything works as it should. The ground crew were great, replacing things promptly when asked and always with a smile. There's a campsite immediately below the villa on the lake, which in the summer has fairly regular parties. It didn't bother us particularly but just to be aware they did sometimes go on into the early hours. We'd go back because of the location, the convivial side terrace and pool, but we'd stick to 4/6 adults for most of the time.
We had an amazing time during our holiday in Villa Claudia. The house is just amazing. It has all you need. The owners are also very friendly and willing to help at any time. We arranged a private chef and he made us dinner one night and breakfast on another day. That was also fantastic. Claudia really helped us with everything we needed. The views from the garden are also stunning. I would definitely go back.
The castle itself is beautiful and grand but the apartment we were in (the tower) was poorly furnished, boiling hot with no airflow, poor air conditioning only in the bedroom, and hard to get bags up to (and down from). There is absolutely nothing provided - no washing up liquid, cloths, salt/pepper etc, nothing - so you have to buy everything from the shop which is 15 mins walk down a steep hill (20 mins up) and very expensive. You have to also buy the bus ticket from there - which is a pain - and then you MUST validate it on the bus otherwise you'll get fined if the inspectors get on. We didn't know that and got fined 120 euros, with no flexibility for being tourists and genuinely not realising. The pool is adequate but LOTS of nasty bite-giving bugs around (take repellent) and the beach loungers are literally just flat canvas campbeds that don't adjust position at all so not comfortable. The restaurant is at best mediocre, and is expensive. It is only open in the evenings, so the rest of the day there's no coffee, ice cream or snacks at all to buy. Overall it's in the middle of nowhere with poor facilities and if you don't have a car it doesn't have much going for it. We left two days early and came home.
Maison très accueillante. Chaleureuse, fonctionnelle et remplie d’histoire. Environnement paisible. Vue splendide sur les collines toscanes. Piscine impeccable. Séjour de rêve.

Très belle résidence bien placée pour découvrir la région
Dommage qu’en pleine canicule aucune des 2 piscines n’aient été ouvertes...

Very nice residence well placed to discover the region
It's a pity that in the middle of the heat wave none of the 2 swimming pools were open...
Our stay in LaValle 4 was wonderful. The apartment was immaculately clean and well-appointed. It has a beautiful private patio with magnificent views of the Tuscan countryside, which we used every evening for our wine and cheese. The check-in process was easy and the managers were very helpful with restaurant recommendations, etc. We had stayed in this same apt. many years ago and it was even more wonderful this time!
