About this property

La Porterie Gite de charme **** Abbaye de Bois-Aubry,Yul Brynner's grave, 3HA

Historically, the “Porterie” was the home of the “brother-porter”. The Rule of St Benedict foresaw indeed: "At the door of the monastery, a wise old man will be placed, who knows how to receive and respond, and whose maturity preserves him from wandering everywhere. This porter will have to have a box near the door, so that arrivals always find someone there to answer them. As soon as someone knocks or a poor person calls, he will answer: "Dea gratias" or "Benedicite" and, with all the sweetness of the fear of God, he will hasten to answer in the fervor of charity. If this porter needs help, he will have a younger brother with him ... ".

The 4 **** doorstep has been restored with passion in order to offer you a service of charm and luxury, a tasty blend of tradition and modern comfort. The conservation and enhancement of all its original elements (exposed stones, fireplace, vegetable patch, arches, oak beams, tomettes) create a very warm atmosphere.

In this context, a “nice” kitchen, full-equipped and equipped with a central island, adjoins a very pleasant, stylish living room with studied lighting, equipment (TV / DVD) and pleasant armchairs (including a pull-out bed ) will delight you. An open staircase will take you upstairs where you will find a nice little bedroom (single bed) as well as a large second bedroom (double bed) which royally overlooks (mezzanine) the living room. A decorative bathroom, including a double sink, a toilet and a large shower with bench adjoins the small bedroom.

Great rural quiet location
Fabulous hosts, lovely interesting property equipped with all you need. Marc & Christine very helpful and friendly. We wish them the best of luck with the Abby. Rural location is surrounded by sunflower fields but is very remote. Lots of chateaux and vineyards not too far and interesting towns within an hour.

A wonderful week!
The Porterie is a gorgeous old building with everything we needed. The abbey and surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful. Our hosts Christine and Marc-Olivier were wonderful, good fun, welcoming and helpful. The information on where to visit was amazing, as was the jeep rides! The pool was a great entertainment for the kids. Our week went by too quickly, we could have stayed for longer! Thank you Christine and Marc-O, you made our holiday. So great! We hope to see you again. Lindsey, Paul Freya and Oliver xx

Très très bon séjour à l'abbaye de Bois-Aubry. Très agréable de bénéficier d'un gîte de très belle qualité au sein d'un site aussi magnifique. De la piscine, nous apercevons le site historique de l'abbaye... depuis le gîte nous pouvons flâner autour de l'abbaye et découvrir la faune et la flore... Marc et Christine nous ont réservé un excellent accueil et nous ont partagé avec passion les curiosités locales pour nos activités touristiques ainsi qu'une visite historique inoubliable du site. Ils sont tous les 2 adorables et ultra-disponibles si besoin. Géraldine/Vincent
