Great Holiday, great villa!
A very enjoyable family holiday. Anita is lovely and very welcoming. Great villa with everything we needed and more. Kitchen was very well equipped. Games room was a huge hit with the children and the pool was very welcomed in the 36 degrees heat! Huge garden meant lots of outdoor games too. Quiet and peaceful location and supermarkets easy to drive to. Recommend a relaxing visit to the nearby Chateau d'Ainay-le-Vieil.

L'Ocee vakantie
De ontvangst was hartelijk met een rondleiding door het huis en een goede uitleg over het zwembad. Mooie, zeer grote, tuin en een fijn zwembad, veel privacy. We hebben ons ook vermaakt met de spellen in de kelder, zeer handig als het regenachtig is. De poolbiljart leek niet helemaal recht te staan, maar dit heeft de pret niet mogen drukken. Voor ons een mooi huis waar de tijd voorbij is gevlogen.

Vakantie l'ocee
Wat vonden wij leuk aan dit huis: uiteraard het fijne zwembad, super grote tuin met veel privacy, spelletjesmogelijkheden in de kelder ( niet echt veel gebruik van gemaakt door de zalige zon, maar mooi alternatief bij regenweer). Ontvangst was hartelijk, communicatie goed, deze mensen heten je welkom in hun huis! Omgeving is mooi met het bos, maar met tieners wel wat zoeken naar leuke activiteiten. Subben in de omgeving op meer was tof en streetart city wel eens een ervaring. Al bij al een fijn huisje voor een week. Een minpuntje: potje breken =potje betalen, dit vinden wij normaal, maar de administratieve kost die hierbij komt vinden wij persoonlijk wel te hoog.

About the host

Hosted by Anita Oerlemans

Host profile image
I was born in Dongen, in the Netherlands. My husband lived in Casablanca, Maroc, until he was 24 years old. We met at a festival in ‘s Hertogenbosch, were he visited his sister.

Half a year later, we married and went to live in Veghel. That was in June 1993. Our son was born five years later.

Why they chose this property

It always was our dream to own a house in France, but it seemed to stay a dream forever, as we didn't have the money to buy one.

During the years of our marriage, we did build up some savings for the down payment of the mortgage on our Dutch home. But only after we inherited a small sum from my mother, the dream became more realistic.

On our holidays, we visited many properties in various parts of France, but every time there was 'a little something about it:'. Until we found the Urçay villa. This was love at first sight and we said to eachother: “It's now or never, the Dutch mortgage can wait”.

But the real-estate broker told us that the house was promised to another family. We were so sad the whole long way home! A week later she called us to let us know that they didn’t want to purchase it after all. You can imagine our happiness!

With an additional loan, we managed to meet all costs and a month later, we went to France again to sign the property papers.

Since then, we made many improvements to satisfy our guests. And we will continue to do so, as things can always be made even better!

What makes this property unique

L'Ocee is ideal for those who value peace, calm, privacy and nature.

The friendly green hills of the centre of France and the Tronçais forest with its many lakes and art put a spell on us. We love to scroll the countryside and to visit the many picturesque castles and villages. Or to follow the river Cher or the Berry canal, by foot, bicycle, canoe or electric boat.

Back home at L'Ocee, sitting on the terrace, viewing the birds and the butterflies crossing the green flowery field, feels priceless.

After a swim in the private pool and a home cooked meal, we spend the evening playing pool, darts, air hockey or table tennis in the basement.

The night comes as dark as you´ve never experienced it, with myriads of stars. The silence makes you sleep sound and deep....
