This converted farm building, with its low sloping roof and climbing ivy, is a wonderful and spacious holiday house, both rustic and comfortable. The verdant, private setting offers a sense of ease; the courtyard paved with old flagstones features an ancient fountain and herb gardens.
In the house, there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a tub, one with a shower. A huge living room features oak beamed ceilings, a large stone fireplace, handsome dining table for eight to ten guests. The recently updated country kitchen, opening to the outdoors, is equipped with a gourmet stove, dishwasher, microwave and a table for six. Exterior laundry room with washer and dryer.
Nearby Attractions
This is an ideal base for a visit of the Loire Valley and some of the finest wineries in France. Tours is a 15 minute drive away. Baulay is less than 4 miles from Azay-le-Rideau with one of the most romantic châteaux in the area, and near the château and gardens of Villandry. It is only two miles from the village where the famous sculptor Alexander Calder lived. The local château serves as the Honoré de Balzac’s Museum. Chateau d’Ussé, which inspired the tale Sleeping Beauty, and "La Deviniére", the house where François Rabelais was born, are other attractions of the area. The adventures of Pantagruel and Gargantua were set around Chinon.
Activities include wine-tasting, hiking, biking, golfing, fishing and crafts, from basket weaving to cooking and wine and cheese making. Great restaurants. Wonderful hosts.
