Situated in a tranquil setting on the edge of the village of Avon les Roches, this 19th-century converted barn provides the perfect retreat for up to 4 people. The property’s location, nestled in over an acre of land with an oak wood, flower beds, and lush grassed areas, ensures privacy and a natural ambiance while still offering easy access to nearby attractions and activities.

Separate Gites: The property features two independent gites, one of which, La Grange, accommodates up to 4 people, and a larger one, La Maison (also on the Vrbo website), which is perfect for bigger groups. The pool is shared between the two, adding a nice touch of community without compromising privacy.

The accommodation is beautifully situated, quiet and with a view of the small town and the vineyards. The house is excellently equipped and furnished, we felt very comfortable. The spacious property with two outdoor terraces and a heated swimming pool is also a great place to spend time when you are not taking trips to the great sights in the area. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating and are happy to help you choose places to visit. We had our own bikes with us and explored the castles and palaces in the area on day trips. The castles of Azay le Rideau, Chenonceaux and Chambord, the Abbaie Fontevraud, the Chinon castle and the cities of Saumur, Angers, Amboise, Blois and Tours are well worth seeing.

Excellent séjour

Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis à la Grange, gite tout neuf et tout confort. Au calme dans un cadre reposant, nous avons profité de la piscine et fait de nombreuses visites alentour (châteaux, jardins, grottes, caves...). Une très bonne adresse que nous avons déjà communiqué à notre entourage.
