Home description
La Cure consists of two atmospheric 18th century houses with a shared pool and huge gardens.
Les Roses has 4-5 bedrooms and La Lavande 2 bedrooms. The houses are designed to be enjoyed by two different groups and each are very private. But they also make a perfect property for large groups, giving everyone their own privacy, but also having great common areas for eating and drinking together.
The houses have been recently decorated and provide a fabulous blend of old and new. They have massive oak beams, antique tiled floors, delightful bedrooms and glorious church views. The houses are situated on two acres of gardens and fruit trees with a large pool and teak deck.
The property is in the middle of a lovely Loire Valley village which has a magnificent church and a street of troglodyte houses. There are food markets nearby and it is only 40 minutes from chateaux such as Chenonceau and Villandry, the vineyards of Chinon and Borgueil and the elegant city of Tours. Or you can just sit back and enjoy your glorious and peaceful surroundings with a glass of local red wine.
Special Features
- The property is set back from the houses and has a large pool and teak deck, complete with sun lounges, umbrellas and children's pool toys.
- There are 6 good quality adults bikes (4 with baby seats), 4 children's bikes of varying sizes and a number of small trikes. The property is perfect for children to ride around safely and there are numerous great rides nearby (suggested routes are provided).
- Boules and croquet sets are provided for evening games with a bottle of wine
- The 12th century grange has a pool table, darts and table football.
- Guests can use a membership at the tennis court in the next village.
- All beds and mattresses are new and of top quality, as are all the audio visual equipment and appliances. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.
- The houses are joined only by one 3 feet (almost 1 meter) wide wall and have private outdoor areas.

About the location
La Cure is in the middle of a charming village which has a street of troglodyte houses and a beautiful 12th century church. The friendly baker from the neighbouring village delivers bread and croissants to the door each morning.
There is a food market each Monday in a village 5 minutes away and twice a week in the beautiful medieval town of Loches (15 minute drive).
There is a wonderful Michelin restaurant (regarded as one of the best in the Loire and about half the price of it's equivalent in Paris) 10 minutes away. There are also lots of great local bar/restaurants.
Many of the most beautiful chateaux of the Loire Valley such as Chenonceau, Villandry and Azay le Rideau are no more than 40 minutes from La Cure. Less well known, but just as impressive, is Loches, a picturesque medieval town complete with chateau. Only a 15 minute drive from La Cure, it hosts a colourful and lively food and flower market twice a week.
The wine areas of Chinon, Samur, Vouvray and Borgueil are all within an easy hour's drive of La Cure.
The lovely city of Tours (described by Lonely Planet as a "mini Paris") is 45 minutes north of Les Roses. About the same distance away is the atmospheric town of Chinon.
La Cure's owners have spent many hours exploring their part of the Loire and have plenty of ‘inside knowledge’ they’d like to share with their guests. They've prepared notes to help you enjoy experiences which could easily be missed in a short stay.

How to get here
- Guests can fly into nearby Tours or Poitiers (which have bargain flights from London on Ryan Air).
- La Cure can be reached by car from the UK in one day, with many of the ferry ports within about 4 hours' drive.
- La Cure is only a 2 hour drive from the south of Paris (Orly airport) or an extra 45 minutes from Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) airport in the north. Alternatively, you can travel by train from Paris (either CDG airport or the city) to Tours in less than one hour. This makes La Cure a perfect option for international visitors not wanting a connecting flight or a long drive after arriving in Paris.
