About this property
Sunny gite with large private garden, shared heated pool for the perfect holiday
We know how important location is to get the best from your holiday, which is why we know you will enjoy your stay with us at Le Bouchet and we only have two gites, each with its own private landscaped areas to make sure you have as peaceful and relaxing time as possible.
Le Bouchet is located in the quiet, beautiful wooded countryside of the Touraine region in the Loire Valley yet only five minutes from Descartes with its shops, bars, restaurants and supermarkets and well within reach of the major Loire chateaux and vineyards. The local area is a rich haven for wildlife, with red deer and wild boar roaming around and buzzards crying out as they circle overhead; herons and many different types of wild birds are often seen in and around the local lake.
We have tried to extend that environment into the gardens at Le Bouchet which are extensively landscaped and planted to attract the wildlife while at the same time offering you the amenities you need to enjoy your holiday, the large heated pool with its own terrace where you can keep an eye on the little ones, a picnic area overlooking the pool and a play area with swings, slide and goals for a game of football.
Our two gites have been renovated to a very high standard providing all the necessary facilities you need to get the most from your holiday.
This gite, La Laiterie has been lovingly restored from what were the old cow sheds and many of the original beams and features have been retained to provide comfortable, spacious accommodation that includes:
Upstairs:
· A double bedroom
· A twin single bedroom
· A bedroom with four single beds.
· All the bedrooms have air conditioning units, fans and hair dryers
· Large family bathroom with shower cubicle, hand basin, toilet and heater
Downstairs:
· One double bedroom
· Large bathroom with shower cubicle, separate bath, hand basin, toilet and heater
· Utility room with toilet, hand basin and washing machine
· Fully fitted, well equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and coffee machine.
· Open plan living/dining area with comfortable seating and large table easily seating 10
· WiFi internet access
· UK and French Satellite TV and CD Player
· French doors off the lounge to your own large, south facing private garden with sun loungers, pergola, table, chairs and barbecue.

About the host
Hosted by Trevor and Susan Aylett
Life in the UK was all pretty normal for us - I was a project manager with Xerox, Sue was a supply teacher at local schools and our two girls were happy at the local village school when the reality of redundancy reared its ugly head for me. After trying to start my own business, without success, Sue and I realised we needed a new challenge and after much thought I had the idea of moving to the Loire Valley in France and running gites, so here we are!
Why they chose this property
After spending over a year looking for the right place we came upon Le Bouchet. Close to Descartes, we realised that it was a great location as it was in the Loire Valley and on the border with the Vienne, making it an ideal location for holidays, having easy access to the major Loire Chateaux, the Futuroscope theme park and the Brenne National Park.
What makes this property unique
We know how important location is to get the best from your holiday, which is why we know you will enjoy your stay with us at Le Bouchet and we only have two gites, each with its own private landscaped areas to make sure you have as peaceful and relaxing time as possible. The gites location makes it perfect for seeing lots of the Loire chateaux but there are also lots of other things to see and do further south, locally and in the Vienne.
