Spacious 16th Century Cottage in the Loire Valley

L’Ancienne Cure is a quaint and charming, 16th century Presbytery, located in the heart of the Loire Valley. The 2 bedroom cottage maintains the character of a former era, one of the oldest properties in the village, while providing all the modern amenities for a comfortable stay, including WIFI, UK and French TV. The main floor boasts a large, open-plan, living and dining area with exposed beams and stone walls. A lime stone fireplace, with working woodburner, is situated at one end opposite a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen contains a fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and a Nespresso coffee machine. The main floor bathroom is spacious with a large, walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Upstairs, there are 2 large bedrooms each with a king size bed plus a single bed in one of the bedrooms. The cottage can comfortably accommodate 5 people, perfect for families or couples. Baby and toddler equipment can be provided upon request. Outside there is a large, south-facing, private and secluded garden. Within the garden there is a stone barbeque, table and chairs and sun loungers perfect for relaxing with a glass of local wine. There are 2 off road parking spaces and secure storage for bicycles available. L’Ancienne Cure is situated in the heart of the Loire Valley in the rural village of Breil. The village is small and charming with a local bakery (some say it’s one of the best in the area) and a Chateau within a 5 minute walk. The cottage is the ideal base for exploring the Loire Valley with close proximity to the famous Chateaux of Villandry, Usse (Sleeping Beauty’s Castle) and Azay le Rideau. The region is home to hundreds of vineyards and less than an hour to the cities of Angers, Tours and Le Mans. The region is ideal for cycling with marked routes throughout. We can offer recommendations for bike hires and cycling tours upon request. L’Ancienne Cure is close to everything but miles from anywhere and we hope you enjoy our peaceful retreat.
