Moulin aux fleuriaux
An absolutely delightful setting, in the River Indre (literally). With sunny weather, the deck is a great place to sit and relax. A wealth of first rate chateaux within easy reach, plus the Montlouis and Vouvray appelations (try Chidaine at Montlouis). With kind weather, this is an ideal gite, very highly recommended.

Beautiful setting
Despite some mixed weather, we had a lovely week by the river. Lots of wildlife, even caught a glimpse of a red squirrel. The house is well equipped, with a cosy log burner for chilly evenings. Lots to see within an easy drive. There are plenty of guidebooks and maps available in the property for use of guests. This was our second visit and it is perfect for a relaxing stay.

A most relaxing stay by the river. A wonderful property, well equipped and the most beautiful location. Near to supermarket and bakery but far enough to feel isolated in a nice way. We didn’t go anywhere the whole week, choosing to enjoy the peaceful nature of this wonderful mill. We saw kingfisher’s many times a day, deer red squirrels and lots of fish. We will definitely return.

Highest recommendation for an authentic French experience!
This 3-story mill-turned-home-rental sits on a beautiful stream and is an easy drive to everywhere in the Loire Valley. Had everything we needed and was even better than described. We had a fabulous experience and a great host with excellent English communication skills.

Truly remarkable
Upon arrival we were on awe. Incredibly beautiful setting. The old restored mill is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We spent hours outside on the terrace and boating in the Indre river. Very quiet, perfect spot to retreat to after visitng neighbouring chateaux or villages. Monts is within walking distance. Our 3 teenage kids also loved this home. Hosts were easily accessible and very quick to respond to any questions. This would be a most incredible place to paint or write We would love to return for a longer stay 5 nights were not enough. Only suggestion would be is be prepared with eruos (cash) for payment of electricity at the end of your stay.

Special, memorable and idyllic
We figured that if the Mill House was half as nice as it looked, in photos, we would be happy. Well, it actually exceeded our expectations. The house was spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, the setting was truly spectacular. The town has a wonderful weekly market and an excellent supermarket (that houses a hair salon, a cleaners and clothing! )The Mill House was an excellent base from which to visit chateaux within less than an hour's drive. The only teeny issue was that the house was cold, even when the outside temps were 70. A roaring fire in the fireplace helped alleviate the chill. We highly recommend this place.

A magical place
The setting was beautiful, with nature all around us. Saw kingfishers every day. We were lucky with the weather and spent most evenings sitting outside enjoying the bats, owls and stars. There is a huge choice of places of interest to see and do in the local area if the weather is cool or wet, and there is a large supermarket about 10 mins away. A wonderful, relaxing time and we hope to return one day.

My wife and I spent a week at the property and had a great holiday. We mostly spent every evening sitting out on the patio area just soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. There is a large Leclerc hypermart about 7km away and the little near the mill filled all our other needs. It was perfect for a couple but there were 2 more bedrooms upstairs (L2) that could easily

Un excellent séjour en famille au Moulin des Fleuriaux!
C'est un endroit tellement atypique au cœur de la nature, calme et dépaysant. Nous avons apprécié le confort du moulin, très bien équipé et avec goût. Les enfants ont chacun tout de suite adopté leur chambre et ont adoré explorer les abords du moulin. La terrasse, suspendue au dessus de l'eau, très bien exposée et meublée, est vraiment agréable. Beaucoup d’activités sont possibles (kayak sur place, pêche, balades en forêt, visites des châteaux, dégustation de produits régionaux,...). De nombreux livres, DVD, jeux de cartes et jeux de raquettes sont également mis à disposition, ce qui est un véritable plus pour occuper les enfants en cas de pluie ;-) Merci à Anne pour son accueil!

Everything we were looking for!
This little mill is a gem - comfortable, practical, well-equipped and in addition, paradise for a fisherman! Lovely views of water in all directions, yet intimate and private without being remote. Charming owner who is willingly helpful, and who has obviously applied great thought and personal talent in renovating, decorating and equipping the property so thoughtfully. As a couple without too much mobility and needing a peaceful place to spend a week in autumn, it couldn't have been more perfect for us, and the hyper-efficient wood burner (which also filters heat through a vent in the bedroom) added to the cosiness during rather mixed weather. The surrounding woods and water to explore would be appealing to anyone, in any season. Thank you, Anne and Xavier, for restoring it and making it available to others!

Heaven for families
With three young children it’s difficult to find locations that both work for them and us as parents. Our stay at the Mill ticked every box. We were fortunate with the weather and spent the week outside, building dens, fishing, swimming in the river, playing on the beach (yes it has its own beach!!!), canoeing down the Indre, spotting Otters and Kingfishers, building campfires.....This property either has it or is close to it all! To cap it all off the house is extremely comfortable and has everything you could need for a fantastic stay. Oh and it’s unique in its setting (see the pic’s) and utterly beautiful. We miss it already and will be back.

Beautiful Gite in totally relaxing situation
From the minute we arrived everything was perfect. The kitchen/dining room area is large and really well equipped with everything that you need. The beds were all really comfortable and rooms spacious. The bathrooms are both well appointed with plenty of hot water. There is also a sitting room on the first floor that overlooks the river. The outdoor space is well equipped with tables and chairs and garden furniture, we ate outside for every meal. The gardens surrounding the Gite are lovely to walk in and have an abundance of wildlife. And then there is the river, this was the best thing about the Gite. There was a kayak and rowing boat that we used every day. You can also fish and it is very easy to buy a license from the florist in Montes. All in all it was the most beautiful Gite in an amazing situation

Flowing waters
The Moulin Fleauriaux wa idylically situated on the Indres River, sentisitly restored and converted , ideal for a groups for four friends. It was one of the best equipped places we have stayed in ( Yes we do like to cook when self- catering) down to the last bay leaf for the bouquet garni, a great base too for visiting the Chateaux de la Loire. It would have been good to have met our hostess - it can make such a difference to have some local introductions. One complaint one very small towel per person for a fortnight is not enough and normally a linen change is expected after a week. Otherwise wonderful Thank you Marianne and David

Second visit won't be our last
What a perfect place to spend a week this place has everything. The Moulin itself is comfortable and well equipped but it's the outside areas that really make it special. A really beautiful location with water on every side, good fishing literally on your doorstep and some special wildlife. We spotted the Beavers most evenings, Deer in the garden, countless birds and one night a family of Wild Boar came down to the river. If you can drag yourself away from the Moulin there are so many places to go to in the area with just a short drive, chateaus around every corner some lovely villages and markets and the Musee Beaux Arts in Tours is well worth visiting. We will be back.

Can't say enough about how nice this place is. Right in the middle of the river with flowing water all around We enjoyed it so much that we ate in almost every night.
