About this house rental

Luxurious Self Catering Gites at the Unique Estate of The Abbaye de Bois-Aubry.

Our two gites, dating back to 13th century, have been completely restored, providing a good balance between French tradition and modern comfort, enhancing the spirit of your holiday. The gites are located by the outdoor swimming pool and entry to the private estate is through the main automatic gates. Each gite has a private parking space within the communal area, ensuring secure parking for your peace of mind. The gites, La Porterie, and Le Grenier A Grains are of different sizes, have individual gardens and the Abbaye, as a romantic backdrop, ensures harmony and privacy. As a holiday destination, there is so much to see. We will offer you a guided tour of the estate where you may also visit the tomb of Yul Brynner; the glamour of Hollywood in rural France!

We, Christine and Marc-Oliver, welcome you to our unique home. We live on the estate and will be available to greet you on arrival and assist you daily if required. We speak fluent English yet will be happy to develop your French.

And for the little "fans", you'll find the last info on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ABBAYE-DE-BOIS-AUBRY/103914159863

    Bathroom and bedroom open plan. No door on the toilet! Thick beam 1.5m from the ground to get to the bed. At 5'2" I had to duck my husband at over 6' - impossible. Specified a tall husband and they didn't mention it. Door to adjoining property with such large gaps around it - this is a public room and you will be able to hear men urinating. Hosts refused any refund. Our holiday ruined!

    Our stay at the Abbaye was just wonderful!!! Our hosts, Christina and Marc, were very lovely and welcoming. They were very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We were able to take a tour of the Abbaye and it’s grounds with Marc, who is very knowledgeable and passionate about retaining the history of the time period. Once we were familiar with the roads , it was easy to get to Chinon and Richelieu from our apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed. We were even welcomed with some champagne and snacks upon our arrival. We would have loved to have been able to stay longer and enjoyed the relaxation of the site. We will definitely stay again next time we are in the Loire Valley.

    A truly fabulous week in a stunning setting. The Gite was so beautifully designed and set within the stunning grounds of the abbey. The boys loved the great swimming pool and Marc and Christine couldn’t have been better hosts. The tips and local knowledge were really appreciated and we were very grateful to Marc for taking us out in the jeep. Just wish now we had been able to book for longer. Many Thanks , Paul & Vicky

    Just returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful place. The accommodation was clean, spacious, very well equipped and full of character. The gite is set in the stunningly beautiful grounds of the abbey which is full of history and character and has a lovely swimming pool which is perfect when wanting to cool off from the glorious sunshine that we had. Our hosts Marc and Christine couldn't have been more welcoming, showing us all the best places to go & giving us a fantastic guided tour of the abbey. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Situated in a peaceful hamlet but just a short drive from the delights of the Loire Valley. We had the most wonderful holiday and would not hesitate to return to this wonderful place again. Thank you so much - Vicki & Sally

    We have just got back after a couple of weeks touring around the Loire and we spent one of those weeks at this wonderful Abbey , the location is stunning , the accommodation (we were in Le Grenier Le Grains) is beautifully maintained and very comfortable , and the pool is just gorgeous ! we had a great time visiting the many places of interest and Chateau`s in the area as well as indulging a hobby of collecting Antiques, our hosts Marc and Christina couldn't have been more helpful in locating Brocantes and Vie de Greniers for us we went home with a car full of new treasures ! Thank you so much for a wonderful time and we will see you again Im sure ,warmest regards Sue & Jules

    Wow! Where do we start? The setting is absolutely idyllic. We stayed in the Porterie, next to the abbey. Cosy yet perfect. The house had every mod con we required yet still had all its rustic charm. Our hosts made us feel like a part of the family from the moment we arrived yet were never intrusive in our holiday. They showed us around the historic setting and advised on all the surrounding points of interest. They were always on hand when we needed them. We travelled with a thirteen year old and a six year old. The wifi connection meant we had a happy teen and the swimming pool, fully stocked with toys for the children, kept our six year old happy for hours. Charming, relaxing, perfect!!

    What an amazing family holiday we had this year! We were so fortunate to spot this beautiful listing on the homeAway website but be warned, even those fabulous photos and rave reviews could not do full justice to the magical place that is Labbaye de Bois Aubry!We at once felt so privileged to live for a week alongside the abbey in accommodation that was luxurious, spotless and extremely well equipped.The grounds were picture postcard perfect and the wider area was steeped in history and culture... a week was just not long enough to explore its riches. We holidayed with 2 teenagers and a preteen , who spent their days swimming, exploring and absorbing more history than they had ever learned in school. Last but not least we must give huge credit to our exceptional hosts Mark and Christine who brought the abbey to life for us and went above and beyond all expectations to make our stay the fabulous success that it was. To our new friends Mark an Christine, a huge Thank you from us all. For anyone considering a visit to Labbaye.....Go for it, you will certainly be delighted!
