In a lovely secluded location surrounded by unspoilt countryside, yet only 12km from the pretty medieval town of Loches with its 11th century château, cobbled streets, fine restaurants and famous market. This 18th century semi-detached tufeau stone cottage is one of five restored from a former farm and priory buildings. You can dine out in the private garden, stroll around the hectare of land, jump into the shared indoor heated pool or treat yourself to a game of badminton. There is golf and fishing nearby and the historic towns of Tours and Poitiers are a short drive away. Chenonceau and other famous châteaux are within easy reach and plenty of local vineyards offer tastings. Visit the theme park Futuroscope offering a day out for all the family.
