Gîte / Cottage

The Orchard of the Châteaux


Charming cottage (2 to 4 adults) with swimming pool in a quiet haven of greenery in the heart of the largest castles of the Loire.
In a green setting called the Verger des Châteaux, the Maison la Rose (2 adults) and its annex Le Pavillon les Nymphéas (2 adults) are nestled, quiet, opposite the thousand-year-old Abbey of Pontlevoy.
The walled orchard is home to many fruit trees and plants as well as a pond with water lilies and papyrus. It offers a wide range of relaxation areas. In addition, there is the saltwater swimming pool, heated in a separate part of the garden in the sun or shaded.

Within a radius of 30km, between the Loire and the Cher, are the largest castles of the Loire and all the others, the Beauval Zoo, exceptional gardens, picturesque villages, beautiful countryside and forests. It is the ideal starting point for hiking or cycling.

After a professional life dedicated to offering excellence to customers of high-end brands and who love to entertain, I had the project of opening a cottage in the countryside.
I chose this sweet region of the Loire Valley and fell in love with this property created by Chris and Martin, Dutch, lovers of the French art of living, its lush garden and its swimming pool.
I will be pleased to share with you the many historical, gastronomic and natural riches of the surroundings.
