About this property

17th Century Charm Between Loire Castles and Futuroscope, with Pool and Lush Garden

  • Charming 17th-century house located between the Loire Valley châteaux (Amboise, Chinon, Loches, Azay-le-Rideau, Chenonceau, Chambord, etc.) and Futuroscope. 400 meters from the Pierre Percée, the tallest menhir in Touraine. Close to the D910 (National Historic Route 10). All-inclusive holiday rental (except tourist tax). Ground floor: living/dining room/kitchen 40 m² (sofa, satellite TV, Krups Dolce Gusto pod coffee machine), 1st bedroom (double bed), shower room, WC. 2nd bedroom on the mezzanine (two single beds), full baby kit. Wi-Fi. Electric heating (included). Enclosed 2-hectare landscaped garden. Private enclosed courtyard. €10 per night for a 5th person. Bicycles available free of charge. Indoor swimming pool (low tunnel enclosure), unheated and shared with the bed and breakfast. Included in the price: bed linens/beds made + complete linen service + final cleaning + heating + electricity. POOL OPENING: April 30th to October 1st (weather permitting). Non-smoking cottage. 1 bed and breakfast room on the property. The owners have pets (dogs and cats). Imagine yourself sitting on the terrace of your cottage, enjoying a delicious Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, the famous goat cheese with a rye straw pierced through it, accompanied by a delightful Touraine wine (to be enjoyed in moderation!). Close to the Loire Valley châteaux (Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, Loches, Chinon...), your stay will be the perfect excuse to indulge your cultural and gastronomic desires. Just 25 minutes from Châtellerault and its Automobile Museum, 40 minutes from Futuroscope, and less than 10 minutes from the A10 motorway (Ste-Maure-de-Touraine exit), Beauval Zoo is only 45 minutes away! The warm welcome you'll receive from Sophie and Jean-Philippe is just a small taste of the immense pleasure you'll experience staying in this corner of the Loire Valley. You'll be immersed in the heart of an extraordinary garden designed and created by Jean-Philippe. Wonderful moments await you in this gîte, where the amenities and ambiance perfectly combine quality and quantity.

Fabulous gîte

Had a wonderful week at Gîte Draché. The accommodation is exactly as described with everything you need. The gardens and pool area are beautiful and the work that Sophie and Jean-Phillipe have put in to creating a perfect haven is incredible. They were both so welcoming. Supermarkets and plenty of local attractions all within a short drive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.
