Family, newly renovated gite on picturesque farm with excellent facilities.
The farm is rural but well sited in the heart of the Loire Valley, 3 km from the nearest town of Allonnes which is good for shopping and access to the motorway. The gite is 10 km from Saumur. The larger towns of Angers, Tours and Nantes are within easy reach. Tours is the nearest airport and is three-quarters of an hour away by car.
It makes a splendid place to relax in peace between exploring an area famous for wine, varied countryside, beautiful towns, chateaux and historic sites. There are also lots of places for children to see and enjoy including an excellent zoo at Doue. There is also the 30 acre farm to explore which is still producing fruit, cereals,hay and there are cows in the furthest fields . An easy pathway around the fields on the farm make walking down to the lake and river much easier. There is a very good fishing lake 20 minutes away; canoeing in Saumur; also a regular sight-seeing boat trip down the River Loire from Saumur. There is an indoor swimming pool in Allonnes and a pony club for those that wish to ride. Please see our site for more ideas on things to see and do.
The gite is a newly renovated 19th century farmhouse with exposed beams and an internal, tuffeau stone wall. The gite has a washing-up machine, microwave, TV, DVD player, oven and hob, solar-powered water heating, central heating and air-conditioning. There are washing facilities in the laundry room. There is a heated swimming pool just next to the farm yard.
