About this property

Welcome to our house, a beautifully restored 200 year old property which blends a mix of modern decor with original features. The tasteful and high quality renovation was recognised in a feature in Living France magazine.

The property is located in a tranquil location, in a hamlet 1 mile from the village of Vaas, which provides a shop, boulangerie, charcuterie, two bars and a very good restaurant. Vaas is on the Le Loir river, which provides opportunities for kayaking. Slightly further away is the bustling small town of Chateau Du Loire (6 miles) which has a fabulous range of shops, cafe's, restaurants and other amenities, as well as a fantastic Saturday market, and Le Lude (8 miles) which includes a fabulous Chateau.

The main A28 motorway is only 4 miles away, placing the Channel Ports of Caen (2hrs) and St Malo (2.5hrs) and the Channel Tunnel (4.5hrs) within easy reach. Tours airport provides regular flights to London Stansted and is an easy drive of 40 minutes.

Why not explore the wonderful Loire vineyards from Muscadet in the West to Sancerre in the East, with close proximity to the wonderful wines from Bourgueil, Touraine and Vouvray. If you're interested in visiting the world famous chateaux, there are plentiful options to visit during your stay. The house is located equal distance between the fascinating cities of Tours and Le Mans. Both can be visited by car or by train using the local railway station at Vaas which is within a 20 minute walk. For the more adventurous, take a train to Le Mans and then hop on the 1 hr TGV service to Paris for a short mini break. For any petrol heads, the World famous Le Mans race circuit is only a 25 minute drive away and hosts events including the 24 hour race, Classic and MotoGP throughout the year.

For those guests wanting to relax and recharge the batteries, the property looks out onto approx. 1/2 acre of well kept mature private gardens. The house is surrounded by rich agricultural land, and is only 100 meters from the official Loir Cycleway which offers a fabulous way of exploring the local area. The rear garden is a real sun trap, loungers and patio furniture are provided as well as a bbq to enjoy whilst sampling one of the excellent local wines. Private off road parking is provided for our guests.

Charmante maison au calme

Agréable séjour dans une maison en excellent état, dotée d'une très jolie déco et où il ne manque rien. Seules les nuisances sonores du chauffe eau et de sa commande dans la chambre créent une légère gêne.

A fantastic stay in this beautiful house

Our stay in this house was absolutely wonderful. It was so well equipped with everything you could need and spotlessly clean. It has bags of character and the setting was perfect. A real gem in the heart of rural France. We also found the guides and information available extremely useful to help us to find the local Chateau's and vineyards. A friendly and peaceful place to relax and enjoy everything France has to offer.

6/10 Okay

Notre semaine du 9 au 13 avril 2018

Bonjour, Nous avons passé une bonne semaine dans votre maison. Les points négatifs sont les suivants selon notre jugement : - maison froide et humide - beaucoup de poussière et de mouches mortes sous les lits dans la chambre du haut surtout au niveau de la tête de lit et sous l’armoire - beaucoup de poussière dans la cuisine - sac aspirateur plein et pas trouvé pour le remplacer Nous avons cassé une lampe de la chambre du haut (en nettoyant) ; nous l’avons laissé en haut sur le meuble blanc. Sinon c’est une très jolie maison dommage qu’il n’y ai pas de chauffage dans la chambre du bas. Bon journée

About the host

Your host

I live with my husband in a beautiful village in the Cotswolds. We moved to the area for work reasons and to be close to my family in 2000 and have never looked back. I am a personal trainer and an exercise instructor and Andy is a commercial director for a logistics company. We love walking and cycling, our other interests are fine dining, wines and socialising with family and friends. Fortunately, all of this can be done within the immediate area of the Loire.

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed holidaying in France and particularly the Loire over the last 10 years and decided to take the plunge and buy a property which we can enjoy for family holidays and potentially as a retirement place in the future. We knew this was the one as soon as we got out of the car, it had been renovated to a very high standard and retains a lot of the original charm.

What makes this property unique

Although not unique, we find it easy to switch off and relax whenever we visit. The area is quiet, the hamlet is surrounded by agriculture, you can see the apple trees on the hillsides, farmers waving as they travel around on their tractors. Unlike a lot of gites and second homes owned by Brits, the property is not full of old and unmatching furniture, its bright and modern and hopefully homely.
