This is a delightful 19th Century Loire Valley gite (house) to rent in the village of Barrou in the department of Indre-et-Loire, France.  The village's location halfway between the cities of Tours and Poitiers makes it an ideal base to explore the Loire Valley, its many chateaux and pretty villages.  You can have a true French experience as it is relatively 'tourist free' but still take advantage of all this beautiful area has to offer.  Everything from picturesque villages, citadel towns (many with their own chateau), sandy beaches by beautiful lakes, safari parks and troglodytes.

There are many gites and self catering properties to rent for your French Holidays, but this Loire Valley gite is a complete family home, giving you spacious accommodation. And with its history (originally it was a mill for producing walnut oil), beamed ceilings and tiled floors, it retains its French charm.

The gite has 2 sofas and provides a relaxing room to watch TV or DVD's, listen to music, or to take some light relief from the hot summer sun.  In the cooler months there is a wood burning stove for your comfort.

The kitchen/diner is well equipped and comfortable seats 6.  The large and airy master bedroom has a king-sized bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space.  There is an ensuite bathroom with a shower over bath plus a separate w.c.  The room also has its own access to the courtyard below.  The second bedroom with its beamed ceiling and tiled floor is also well proportioned with a double bed. 

The gite has a large enclosed courtyard which is ideal for soaking up the Loire Valley sunshine and alfresco dining.
