Perfect!
Fantastic location, part of the historical area. Ideal for walking into town. The facilities had everything you needed (except an oven, had a worktop one). The owners are fantastic, good English spoken, very helpful, left you alone so very private. Great views from the Gite. If you want English TV it is all in French, but take DVDs. The bathroom is very clean, great shower. The bedroom is spacious and you could have 4 people stay. Very quiet as the road is a dead end so no traffic. It is the sort of place you would want to go back to. We certainly will be. Less than 3 minutes into the town with plenty of restaurants and bars The market is great for food.

About the host

Host profile image
We shall help you to discover this fabulous region of France.
Since we "escaped" from Paris work&stress..
We started to restore this property by hand, 17 years ago, and we know very well its treasures.
We are the centre of mains : chateaux, wines, food, market, organic vegetable producers, etc..

Why they chose this property

We had an internationnal career in hotel and restaurant, last one was ours, beside CDG Paris Airport ; we still receive internationnal guests in our B&B .
This cottage was created for those who wanted to stay longer and be independant, like at home ; its a great "base camp" for the chateaux all around us... and the wineyards to taste too .

What makes this property unique

It is a very special place, any of our guests can confirm it... a jewel as they say it loudly on tripadvisor since 2009 ve've open this House (closed to public the 500 years before).
We are also, the only address in Loches, to be selected in the prestigious Red Guide Michelin (every years since 2011 to now..).

All, here, as restaurants, bars, shops, banks, services hospital, is walking distance, and the local food and wines are excellents
