The house of the Orangery

This is our second time staying in the Orangerie, and it won’t be our last! Pierre and Sophie are excellent hosts and have created a comfortable and relaxing holiday home with everything you need for your stay, from the large, comfortable bed to the modern and fully equipped kitchen. A big plus for us is how quiet and peaceful the place is, and that the countryside is literally on your doorstep. We can’t recommend this accommodation highly enough - you won’t be disappointed!!

The house lived up to all our expectations. It is in a beautiful location, perfectly sited for visiting Chartres. Strongly recommended.

This house was really nice. Clean and tidy, enough of kitchen appliances, good shower, good firm bed. Big tv most frence channels. And fast wifi. The house is placed on the old orangerie of the next door castle. Plenty of space inside walled big gardens. even a garden backdoor to small wood where we saw wildlife. Chartres is half hour by car . And on 10 a15 min both directions some supermarkets. This is not the big tourist location but If you look for rest, perfect. Also some hiking posseble. Chartres is also a nice place to shop and eat . And not to forget Pierre and Sophie who are so friendly owners.

A lovely property in a very nice location. Peaceful and comfortable. For us personally we would have preferred a table and chairs instead of the lounging sofa. Us 75 year olds find bar stools rather unforgiving. Neverthhe less we had a wonderful time.

We had a fantastic few days in the Orangerie. Pierre and Sophie are charming hosts who were happy to tell us all about their farm and the surrounding area. The gite is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. The place is so peaceful and calm with a view out over a large garden and walks in the country on your doorstep. It is close to Chartres - a visit to the cathedral is a must - and there are other chateaux and places of interest not too far away if you are looking for something to do, but you could easily spend all your time at the gite, in the garden, or walking around the area. There is another gite in the same courtyard plus another being renovated, which would make it an ideal place for a large family or group of friends to stay together for a holiday. Can't wait to go back!!
