Great property and Location
The property well equipped and presented in a good location. In its own grounds with secure gates offers a nice property to explore the local area which has much to offer. The cycling routes are organised and relatively easy to ride taking the many opportune cultural château stops on route. Avoine itself is a nice place with many local amenities to help the stay go smoothly.

Lovely Family Holiday Home.
Brilliantly located property, kitted out to a very high standard. Just round the corner from a village centre with Carre-Four supermarket, boulangerie, butchers, and a multi-pool swim centre. Rene and Nicole very kindly lent us bikes, which we used on the excellent network of local cycle routes. Highlights for the kids were the fortress at Chinon (the ipad-esque "histopads" were excellent - National Trust could learn a thing or two) and the massive troglodyte zoo "BioParc" - worth the 40 minute drive. We had a great week, and can't recommend the property and the hosts enough.

Superb location
The photos really don't do this gite justice. It was spotlessly clean and the private outdoor space was lovely. The owners were very welcoming and gave good advice on the area, including which of the 3 bakers in walking distance was the best (we tried all 3 but went back to their recommendation). This gite is on a small one way street (with very little traffic) in the centre of the village. All the facilities including a supermarket are within a few minutes walk. It is only 10/15 mins away from Chinon a beautiful town which has a large hypermarket and a castle - particularly good if you have children (very interactive). We used this gite as a base to visit many of the Chateaus in the area and it was perfect. If I was visiting the area again I would stay here.

Wonderful property and very conveniently located
We are a family of four (two teenage sons) who have just returned from a 2 week holiday in France. We wanted to locate ourselves for our first week in the Loire Valley and then move onto The Dordogne region for our second week. La Bonne Oats suited us down to the ground and Rene and Nicole couldn't have been more helpful. During our stay we were lucky enough to have wonderful weather and Rene and Nicole made sure we had fans for the house which we could move around as we needed. They also allowed us to use 4 bikes which enabled us to make use of the very well marked cycle routes down to and along the Loire Velo Trail which was well worth it. The property itself was spotlessly clean and very well equipped - decorated to a high standard with a thoughtful layout. Despite our French being pretty bad and Rene and Nicole claiming their English wasn't very good (much better than our French!) we all managed to understand each other and we enjoyed a home made aperitif together on our last night with some help from google translate! We found the location of the property really useful. Not only were we handy for the middle of Avoine and its bakery and Carrefour supermarket - (literally a 2 minute walk away) but the property was private, peaceful and had plenty of outside space which made it very relaxing. From Avoine we reached Montsoreau (for its market and river beach),Zoo Parc de Beauval (just 1 1/4hrs) which was a very good zoo with the animals looking very well cared for and of course we got to see the Pandas and Hippos!. Saumur was only 20 minutes away - a very picturesque town with lots going on there to see and do - Loire cruises (nice 50 min cruise with a tasting session of local sparkling wine and biscuits!), bike hire, Chateau and not too far away Kayak hire among other things. Chateau de Chenonceau was only 50 mins away also which was very pretty and you could also incorporate Chateau Villandry and its wonderful gardens in on the same day. Rochmemenier Troglodyte Village was 1/2 hr away. Along with lots of well signposted walks, bike routes and sunflower fields there was something for us all. Couldn't fault the property, area or Rene and Nicole's hospitality.

Beautiful house in great location
La Bonne Avoine (= The Good Oats) is a stylishly converted house right in the heart of the town of Avoine but in a quiet location with nice private gardens. It is well furnished, having a double, a twin and a single bedroom plus bathroom (with shower) upstairs and a nice sitting/dining room and kitchen and extra toilet and shower room downstairs. There is a washing machine and drying stand and the kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, ceramic hob, coffee machine for filter coffee and a kettle and plenty of cooking utensils and crockery and cutlery. We spent a very enjoyable week visiting local attractions such as Chateau Chenonceau, Abbaye de Fontevraud, Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau and the gardens of Chateau de Villandry, which are all in easy distance from Avoine. The city of Chinon is attractive and offers lots of shopping and eating out opportunities and is only 15 minutes by car. Avoine itself has lovely flowers in the centre and there is a Carrefour supermarket, a bakery, post office, pharmacy etc in 5 minutes walking distance from the house. The owners Nicole and René Vineau made us very welcome and live close by and quickly resolved a problem we had with the hot water supply. We can highly recommend La Bonne Avoine to anybody wishing to stay in this area.

Wir verbrachten drei wunderbare Wochen in dem 200-jährigen Haus von Nicole und René. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge in der Region und der Radweg führt 100 m neben dem Haus vorbei und die Region ist ein Paradies für Radfahrer. Im Garten kann man sich herrlich ausruhen. Zum Einkaufen gibt es in 300 m Entfernung einen Supermarkt, einen Metzger und Bäcker und eine Apotheke. Nicole und René erfüllen dir jeden Wunsch und geben dir viele gute Tipps. Vielen Dank Nicole und René für drei Wochen tolle Ferien.
