Domaine de La RetardiĂšre ****, heated swimming pool

A 4-star estate (gĂźte) with a heated swimming pool (enclosed building with retractable roof), jacuzzi, and sauna, there are 10 rooms at the base price, as well as sofa beds.
We also offer, at an additional cost, 5 rooms, 2 rooms with disabled access bathrooms, as well as a 12-bed dormitory, for a total of 17 rooms and a dormitory.
The maximum capacity will be 45 people.
A €3,000 deposit will be required upon arrival.
A truly ancient Touraine residence dating back 170 years, your next vacation spot is ideally located in the heart of the Loire Valley chĂąteaux, between Loches and Chinon, 25 km from Chenonceaux, Azay-le-Rideau, and Richelieu, and 45 minutes from Beauval Zoo. Other Loire Valley chĂąteaux, as well as Futuroscope, are less than an hour's drive away, or a 2-hour jaunt to Puy du Fou, and very close to the Loire Valley.
The Domaine de la RetardiĂšre, with its 280mÂČ manor house and 490mÂČ barn, offers an exceptional setting for 30 people. It is equipped with every modern convenience, offering 15 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The estate features fully equipped kitchens, several living rooms ranging from 60mÂČ to 100mÂČ, a spa with a 6-person jacuzzi and a 3-person sauna in a 100mÂČ relaxation room with 4.5m ceiling height. Two large terraces, one of which is 70mÂČ, are well-furnished and welcoming, with a barbecue and gas grill. A large 11m x 5m swimming pool with a 220mÂČ pool house and terrace equipped with 16 lounge chairs, bordered by a large lawn with a professional trampoline and a pĂ©tanque court, guarantees a wonderful holiday atmosphere. Housekeeping is provided, and all linens, kitchen linens, and bath towels are changed upon arrival. These services are included in the rental price.
Heating is included in the rental price between November and March. Outside of this period, if heating is required, it will be charged extra at a rate of €60 per day.
Both buildings have 1000 Mbps fiber optic internet.
The pool is heated in the fall and winter to maintain a water temperature of 24°C. If you prefer a higher temperature, pool heating will be charged at an additional cost.
The manor is very old, therefore, some finishes may not meet the requirements of those who prefer impeccable finishes.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 9 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 18 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub, hair dryers, and bidets.

Perfect for our wedding

This is an amazingly beautiful period property with lots of original features, we chose this property because it was so beautiful, we held our wedding ceremony there and everything was perfect, the property was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed, we were a party of 45 people and it did not feel crowded. The pool was a welcome addition to the property also.You would need a car if staying her as not accessible by public transport, but we knew that before booking.

TrÚs agréable propriété avec plein de petits coins pour s'isoler si chacun le souhaite (télétravail...). Il y a toujours des petites choses à améliorer sur un domaine aussi grand mais cela reste une trÚs belle expérience de vacances en famille. Le réel point de progrÚs ce sont les cuisines, il y en a 4 mais toutes petites : pas de coin cuisine professionnelle avec grands plans de travail et manque de matériel et instruments adéquats (mais présence de deux grands frigos top) Isolé, sans voisinage immédiat, véritable plus. Super piscine quel que soit le temps, on peut en profiter et protection du bruit grùce aux murs. Des arbres magnifiques qui permettent de garder la fraicheur et de manger dehors à tous les repas en cas de forte chaleurUne maison de caractÚre, décorée et des lits confortables.

Un moment hors du temps pour mes 40 ans

Nous étions 21 et nous avons grandement apprécié le nombre de chambres et de salle de bains/wc. Plusieurs grands frigos pour y ranger toutes les victuailles. Dommage que nous n'ayons pas su avant que nous pouvions avoir la possibilité de louer une tireuse à biÚre sur place d'autant que nous n'avions pas prévu assez et que nous avons dû acheter des fûts sans possibilité de retourner la consigne sur le lieu le dimanche. Eclairages et projecteurs bien pratiques, pool house vraiment chouette pour se prélasser. Ce fut un agréable moment entre amis pour passer le cap de la quarantaine.
