Lovely gîte in the Loire Valley

Loire Valley gîte for friends or families

One of three gîtes on a lovely site in the Loire Valley, Le Pluvier is an 18^th-century house that has kept all of its traditional style and character. Looking at the outside architecture or at the woodwork inside, you know it is a unique property of unmistakable charm and history.

Sleeping up to six people, Le Pluvier has three bedrooms, with the master bedroom on the ground floor, and two others – one double bedded, the other twin bedded – on the first floor. There are three bathrooms, each with their own large shower, so you’ll never have to wait while someone else is in the bathroom.

The large living area has plenty of comfortable seating for everybody, and a TV, DVD player, CD player and Wi-Fi access are available. The dining table is a nice focal point for everybody to get together and eat a meal prepared in the fully fitted kitchen.

Outside is a beautiful heated pool, shared between the guests of all three gîtes. Standing in more than two acres of grounds, the pool, terracing and children’s play area offer more than enough space for everybody to have fun in their own way. Moreover, all gîtes have their own private garden, with barbecue and garden furniture, perfect for an al fresco meal in the summer.

Le Pluvier is a charming gîte that has kept its early 18^th-century roots while also offering all the comforts of modern life. Enjoy English channels or stay connected thanks to the free Wi-Fi, all the while enjoying your holiday in a traditional Touraine-style house.
