Photos and Description of the Indre-et-Loire vacation cottage rental 1, 3 & 3 bedroom self-catering cottages with shower-rooms, sleeps 12

Le Moulin de Boutineau and its three charming fully restored cottages (for gites or chambres d'hotes) lies in the tranquil countryside heart of the Loire Valley - but is not remote, just 2 kms from the famous medieval town of Loches, with its own chateau, restaurants, café’s, bars, shops and lively twice-weekly market. Spend idyllic family days relaxing around a sparkling 12x6 metre heated swimming-pool with nearby children's play area or explore the 15 acres of magnificent tree-lined grounds, fields and woods surrounding this peaceful 17thC watermill. If you want to fish there are carp (15-40lbs) in a glorious private two acre lake. The three delightful oak-beamed cottages sleeping 6, 4+1 and a romantic 2 can also accommodate an exclusive party of 12 and all have their own garden/patio and BBQ area, as well as cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, TV/DVD/stereo CD, full central heating and access to washing/drying facilities, the swimming pool, hot-tub, bicycles and table-tennis.

Details for Le Four a Pain 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, 1 Bathroom

'The Bread Oven' is a romantic, picturesque old stone building set away on its own complete with masses of character, including oak beams, a terracotta tiled floor and the beautifully restored original oven. No, you don't have to cook in it, just turn on the feature lighting! Outside, the lovely terrace/garden is centred around a mysterious 'roll-right stone' and has a BBQ, table, chairs and parasol. The Ground Floor has a picture window overlooking an orchard and the swimming pool and the comfortable living/dining area has a cafe table and chairs and a sofa to watch DVDs on TV or listen to the stereo CD. The adjoining kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. The shower-room is compact and newly fitted. Set above on a galleried wooden mezzanine floor, up some fairly steep steps is a double bed with a window overlooking a magnificent, mature walnut tree. The cottage has full electric central heating and is an ideal and extremely popular choice for two people.

Le Moulin de Boutineau lies in Indre-et-Loire, part of the 'Centre' region of France. This is the royal historical heartland of Touraine renowned for its fine wines, delicious goat's cheese and near-perfect French accent! The nearest major supermarket and superb patisserie are just 5 minutes drive while equally close, Loches (just 2kms away) with its maze of cobbled streets, dungeon & chateau is a magnificently preserved medieval town with big, colourful country markets every Weds & Sat with amazing selections of cheeses, breads, pastries, sausages and fresh local produce. Most of the prettiest and most rewarding Loire chateaux are within 30 minutes drive including Chenonceau, Chinon, Valencay, Villandry, Amboise, Usse and Azay-le-Rideau and many hold summer 'son et lumiere' or music shows. Also within easy reach are golf, tennis, horse-riding and walking in the beautiful Indre valley or extensive Loches Forest, while the zoo at nearby St Aignan is arguably the best in France.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Indre-et-Loire, France

Fishing at Le Moulin de Boutineau: There is a glorious, private two acre lake where you can fish for carp (mirror & common 15-40lbs) plus roach, tench and others. It has level, easy walking access around the entire perimeter which is lined with a wide variety of mature trees, flowers and the abundant wildlife includes kingfishers and red squirrels. It is an idyllic, tranquil setting for fishing. There are six marked swims (max. 4 anglers) and we also have a range of all the correct carp fishing equipment for hire as well as a selection of quality baits available. Our beautiful, pristine fish will give you quite a fight, but are just for catching, photographing and releasing again - NOT for eating!!

Cost of Fishing: During the peak 2010 holiday season from 3 July to 3 September the cost is 150 euros per angler per week or 50 euros per day. During the rest of the rental season (6 March to 3 July & 4 Sept to 27 Nov) the special price of a weeks fishing rights is only 75 euros per angler per week, making it a great combination of value, comfort, accessibility and privacy. Please contact us for details of our special loire fishing holidays website which has much more information and many photographs of the fish and lake.

'Thank you so much for everything you did to make us feel so welcome. We had a wonderful week with our two children, and really had no idea how much there would be for them on our doorstep. You have done amazing things at Le Moulin and we will be spreading the word!' (Madlin & Rupert S, London).

'Thank you for a fantastic week. You couldn't have made us more welcome. The cottage was great with everything we needed and nothing was too much trouble. It's an idyllic setting and the kids loved everything from the pool to the space to roam around in. I shan't hesitate to recommend you!' (Lorraine & Dave I, Leicester).

“We spent a week in the Four a Pain before we got married. We booked it fairly last minute as it looked romantic and the perfect place for some relaxation before the Big Day…and boy did we strike it lucky. What a fantastic time, idyllic setting and perfect hosts! I can’t recommend it enough! We will certainly be back for an anniversary' (Georgia H, Liverpool).

Review Submitted: July 8, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We recently stayed in the smallest of the three cottages, Le four a pain. We had an extremely relaxing week.
The information provided on the web site does not do this accomodation justice.The setting is absolutley beautiful and peacefull,each of the cottages are superbly renovated and equipped, and the owners Jude & Julian are extremely friendly and great company.The welcome basket provided was excellent and recommended.The properties are only a short distance from Loches, with good shopping facilities.
We visited a number of Chateaux, as the property is well located in the heart of region.If you get chance do go to the 'son et lumiere' (night light show) at Chambord, it is absolutley breath taking and only around 5 euro's each.
We will be returning to the property in summer 09, as there is so much still to see and do.
The pool and Spa were great as the weather was generally good (one day around 37 degrees).
Excellent Holiday !
