Where is it

Indre-et-Loire
 

Three 250 year old charming stone cottages with beamed ceilings and old terra cotta floors, nestling on the edge of a lovely hamlet surrounded by fields which in some years are surrounded by sunflowers! 

Our cottages are set in 3000 m2 of delightful gardens filled with flowers and birdsong. This beautiful cottage garden contains lawns, an orchard with plum, pear, apple and walnut trees, wonderful herbs, many flowers, shrubs, trees and a well. The different flowers include clematis, honeysuckle, wisteria, roses, grape vines, jasmine, sweet pea, lavetera, lavender and many more.

If you enjoy home cooking, our herb garden will provide you with all kinds of fresh herbs such as parsley, chive, basil, dill, lemon mint, tarragon, thyme, rosemary and sage. Fresh eggs are available from the farmer nearby and the boulangerie for baguette and different kinds of country bread is only a few minutes away.

In a quiet corner of the grounds is the lovely 9m x 4m heated swimming pool with views to open fields. Loungers are supplied by the pool.

Our aim is to offer you a little paradise, quiet and romantic surroundings with very comfortable accommodation, to allow you to relax in this beautiful, unspoiled part of the Loire Valley!

All cottages still retain many of their original features and rustic charm. They have a very high standard and are all lovingly and tastefully furnished. Each is very well equipped with

Wining and Dining

We have one gourmet restaurant nearby: famous Jackie Dallais', "La Promenade" in Le Petit Pressigny (10 mins). There are many other fine restaurants in the area we can recommend. You can taste and buy wine at a local winery only about 10 minutes away. The well known caves of the Loire Valley (Chinon, Saumur, Vouvray, etc)., are all under an hour's drive.

We had a great few days at La Lune and would thoroughly recommend this lovely cottage. Everything you need is there; it is well-equipped, cosy and very comfortable. We enjoyed cycling around the area and visiting places we had missed on previous visits to the Loire Valley. The cottage is in a beautiful setting - perfect for relaxing and recharging your batteries. The owners are helpful and friendly, but unobtrusive. The only minus point was that we couldn't stay longer!

When we arrived at Les Frippieres we were delighted at this beautifully situated cottage.  Everything you need is in the cottage along with lots of little nice touches from the owners Ken and Liz.

Ken and Liz were very friendly and kindly booked restaurants for us and made some great recommendations for things to see and do in the area.

We had a very relaxing holiday - cycling to the nearest villages for our fresh bread& cakes, exploring the surrounding areas - you do need a car, eating at some lovely restaurants and tasting the local wine.  We also loved chilling out in the gardens at La Lune, they are beautiful and we also got a chance to laze by the pool.  if you really wish to get away from it all we would highly recommend a stay.

Loved the position of the gites - well kept and romantic spot; private despite being one of three gites. Kind courteous informative but not intrusive owners Ken and Liz let us help ourselves to their herbs, fruit and vegetables in the garden. Fantastic peaceful area. Recommended.

The recommendations I read before booking were not promising too much.

We had a wonderful time to relax in a superb environment, especially the absolute lack of sounds in the night was a dream coming true. La Lune is very nicely furnished, everything was there and in very good condition what was needed.

The location is perfect for relaxing in the countryside, but no too far away from the highlights of the Loire-valley, perfectly located to go either in direction of Saumur or to Blois and everything between.

Ken and Liz are superb hosts, as I told them before , we'll be back !

We had a fantastic week at La Lune. The cottage is beautiful and is set in an idyllic and tranquil location surrounded by wonderful French countryside. There is plenty to do in the local area - the nearest town, Le Grand Pressigny, has everything you need along with an ancient chateau that has been turned into a state-of-the-art prehistoric museum, and slightly further afield Descartes has a lovely market on a Sunday. It is also the perfect place to relax, and the pool is ideal for cooling off on a hot afternoon. Ken and Liz are great hosts, welcoming us warmly but giving us plenty of space to relax. We can't recommend the gite highly enough!
