Description from owner
Description
Superbly renovated and equipped, handicapped friendly and with not 1, not 2 but 3 private terraces, Les Ecuries, at our property Le Bouchet, definitely has all you need to get the most from your holiday!
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a large double with its own seating area and another large bedroom with three single beds. Each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit. There is a large family sized bathroom with shower, toilet and heater.
Downstairs there is large double bedroom and a bathroom with a walk in shower, non-slip tiles, a thermostatic shower, a disabled toilet, grab rails and heater.
In the open plan living area the lounge has comfortable seating for seven people and is fitted with UK and French satellite TV and a Hifi system. The dining area has a large table seating seven and the kitchen is very well equipped with all modern conveniences including a dishwasher and washing machine.
There are French doors opening out onto your own private walled terraced areas. The first terrace is decked and set at the same level as the lounge, to provide easy wheelchair access, and has a barbecue, table, chairs and a pergola. The second is a south facing terrace with sun loungers that also provides direct viewing access to the pool for the mobility impaired. The third is a quiet courtyard terrace, also suitable for wheelchairs, that has been landscaped and planted with banana plants, cannas and other exotic plants. There is a table and chairs to dine out in the evening and catch the last rays of the sun and a shady pergola with patio furniture.
Pathways lead from your private terraces to the pool and the rest of the gardens of the property and the children's play area.
Le Bouchet is close to some of the most beautiful and impressive chateaux, such as Chenonceau and the captivating Villandry, and is the ideal location for your holiday, whether you want to relax by your heated pool or go out to discover all of what our wonderful region has to offer.
With the historic towns of Loches, Tours and Poitiers and the fantastic Futuroscope amusement park, all within easy reach, you are bound to find plenty to see and do for all ages.
A couple of minutes away from your gîte is the small town of Descartes which has restaurants and bars and can provide for all your needs with supermarkets, chemists, butchers, bakeries and a Sunday market selling everything, from fish to flowers!
For the more active amongst you there is a water park, canoeing, golf, horse riding, sailing, horse racing locally and bird watching in the Brenne National Park.

“Perfect location if you are looking for somewhere to unwind in complete peace and quiet”
The gite is extremely well equipped with everything anyone could possibly need to make their stay comfortable. Cleverly designed, and most attractive, garden with lots of different areas and an abundance of tables, chairs and sunbeds. The pool is sparklingly clear and a really good size. Just one drawback, which it would be impossible to alter, is that it wouldn't be accessible for anyone with real mobility issues owing to the only access being the ladders on the sides. The small town of Descartes is conveniently near, little hamlets in the countryside nearby and the chateaux of the Loire area are not that far away. Having the owners nearby was a big plus, not only for a chat but also to answer any questions or give advice.

“Five Star Stay”
A little piece of heaven- an extremely well appointed gite with beautiful gardens, wildlife- Sue and Trevor are the most welcoming and helpful hosts. There is something for everyone here- our personal area contained several relaxing seating, lounging and eating areas for a weary mum and dad and grandparents, our grandchildren loved feeding the goats, swimming in the pool and playing in the play area and for me, as a keen photographer, some lovely views in the locale. Thank you Sue and Trevor for a stunning experience.
