My wife and I recently returned from a fabulous 3-weeks in central France and our five nights at the Moulins de Vontes is now among our all-time favorite places to stay anywhere in the world. Odile and Jean-Jacques are fascinating, accomplished people, sharing their paradise with guests in a gracious, friendly and straight-forward style. They could not have been more... More

We spent three nights here out of two weeks in France. From the moment of our arrival, our happy, energetic, and outgoing hosts, Jean-Jacques and Odile Degail, made us feel as though there was no wish that could not be instantly granted. Their fluency in English certainly made our lives simpler. Their restored mill complex on the Indre River is... More

We have just spent the most wonderful stay at a truly breathtaking location. We took all three rooms and was made very welcome by our host and his family at their home. The pictures do no do this justice and immediately upon arriving there was a sense of calm and tranquility I have seldom found elsewhere and I can not... More

I made reservations six months in advance for this inn and then reconfirmed it a week before our arrival. I had researched and requested two of the three rooms and this was specifically confirmed, and then reconfirmed, by the owner. I have this in writing. This was to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday and was her first visit to France.... More

In fact, yes, we double booked the room. We indeed were at fault. It was, within 11 years, the very first time and we tried our best to handle it properly. Unfortunatly the two gentlemen writing this note haven' t behaved exactly as they say. I understood they were upset they did not understand we were trying our best to... More

We could not have asked for a warmer welcome when we arrived at Les Moulins de Vontes. Jean Jacques and Odile are charming hosts and were very helpful suggesting and booking for us local restaurants for us to eat at during our stay. The mills have a beautiful tranquil setting complimented by the sound of the river. Odile gave us... More

The location is magical. It’s an old mill, situated in the middle of a river. The hosts are very helpful and friendly, even providing us with a BBQ one evening so that we could cook by the side of the river (after a swim). Highly recommended.

We just returned from an overnight stay in Moulin de Vontes. The property is just amazing and so charming; there is no doubt about. Unfortunatly, when we are charged for €160 for a night on a Sunday night, you can expect more service: a kind of turndown service, not only one towel per person, and when the owner confirmed you...

This bed and breakfast, which is in three 18th century buildings that used to operate as a mill in the middle of the Indre River is absolutely amazing! The owner Odile, and her husband JJ, used to live in Manhattan so they speak English wonderfully. This allowed us to have a glass of wine with Odile on the patio and... More

Les Moulins de Vontes was one of the best finds of our 2+ week trip to France! It's a total mystery in that it only has a handful of reviews on Tripadvisor, none since 2007. Yet the guest book in our room was full of rave reviews - go figure. Well, I'm about to fix that - just hope it... More

This place just has to be seen to be believed. The mills (moulins) were in use from the 1600's until 1964. The owners live in one building and the 3 guest rooms are in another. Our room was on the second floor (accessibility alert! narrow steep staircase and no elevator), was extremely spacious and beautifully decorated and had a very... More
