About this property

Luxury gite close to Le Loir, cycle network, chateaux and wine region

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.

Exactly as described
Rural location, no wifi, poor 4g and ok 3g coverage....exactly what we were looking for. Village is in poor repair, there is nothing in it...but this is exactly as described. Local towns, supermarkets etc within 15-20 minute drive.

Just returned from a great week spent in this stunning Gite.Was welcomed personally by Alex and Andy and a nice welcome gift was left including treats for our dog Every thing you can possibly want on holiday was there including a comfortable bed The outside area is private and enclosed perfect for relaxing and great for our dog although she did get spoilt with love from our hosts and kept sneaking to them The gite is in a quiet location but within a short drive there are many places to visit Including vineyards and chateaux Thankyou we will be recommending you to family and friends Sue,Steve and Sky

First time taking the car to France we were very lucky to have chosen this fantastic gite. Very pretty, comfortable and well equipped. South facing garden was an added bonus. A short walk from the village and an easy drive to major supermarkets. Great location for day trips including Tours and Le Mons. To top this all off we had the perfect host in Alex.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We love this part of a France and have been enjoying holidays to the region over many years. The opportunity to buy a second property was eventually realised, we just wish we'd done it sooner!

We live in the Cotswolds, I am a fitness instructor and personal trainer, my husband is a Commercial Director.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with it, it's beautiful, it makes us smile when we sit at home in the UK, we always have such amazing times when we get to visit, it's our very own part of France and we love every part of it.

This part of France is such a hidden gem, wonderful weather, very traditional, not too touristy and not too long a drive.

Unlike a number of British owned gites, we have not furnished it with old items from the UK. Hopefully the photographs show the modern and bright coordinated look we have adopted - we hope you like it!

What makes this property unique

The area is so rich in interesting places to visit, it feels timeless, the locals are friendly, we can properly switch off.
