Holiday home for rent Loire Valley

Family home for rent near the chateaux of the Loire Valley

Ideally located in a quiet, charming town, this characterful family home looks out over the river. The building dates from the late 19th-century house and is built of tuffeau stone, the same limestone used throughout the region for castles and monuments.

The spirit of the house, imbued with the maritime heritage of its former owner, is reflected in every detail: travel objects, decorative elements evoking adventure and curiosity, ship models, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere.

All this gives it a soul that will not leave you indifferent. You'll want to know everything about its history. The current owners are the third generation of the family who own this atypical and original house. Situated in the heart of a town in the Loire Valley, with its famous castles on the doorstep, and less than 45 minutes from Paris by train, this house is ideally located for visiting everything this corner of France has to offer.

Holiday home near the Loire Valley - Authenticity and peaceful charm

Its authentic charm is present from the moment you step inside and contributes to the beauty of this family-run business, handed down from father to son for almost a century. 

The stained glass windows on many of the house's doors and windows were designed by the former owner, a seafarer with a curious streak and dexterous hands. A self-taught craftsman, he left an indelible mark on the house. He was also a great gardening enthusiast. Every morning, he tended his vegetable garden and flower beds to embellish the landscape of his property.

Leafy outdoor spaces

The outside of this Loire Valley holiday rental is divided into several areas.

The first part comprises a large terrace equipped with plancha and barbecue, and a heated pool area with deckchairs, so you don't have to miss a moment of relaxation. 

Next, you can enjoy a beautiful shady garden, with flowers and woodland of various species. Then, for home-grown gourmets, a vegetable garden and a herb patch complete the botanical ensemble. The gardener, who is on hand once a week, can provide you with a selection of seasonal vegetables, so that you can prepare your own tasty dishes. 

The garden is totally enclosed and out of sight.
