About this house rental
Discover the Prieure de Relay: A Timeless Loire Valley Retreat
Step into history at the Prieure de Relay, a 12th-century former priory once linked to Fontevraud Abbey, nestled in the serene Villandry forest. This historic retreat blends original stone walls, exposed timber beams, and period charm with modern comforts, creating an inviting haven for families and friends,.
Accessible via a 1 km private road the Priory is just 10 minutes from Azay-le-Rideau and 20 minutes from Tours. The nearby village of Saché (3 km) charms with local bakeries, cafés, a lively Sunday market, and the renowned Michelin star restaurant Auberge du XIIᵉ Siècle. Saché is steeped in literary and artistic heritage, famously associated with writer Balzac and sculptor Alexander Calder. Finding the Prieure de Relay is simple, but its secluded ambiance feels worlds away.
Explore the Loire Valley
From your base in the forest, explore the region’s legendary châteaux: Chenonceau, Chambord, Azay-le-Rideau, Ussé, and Villandry. Adventure awaits with canoeing and fishing on the Loire and Indre rivers, troglodyte caves, or vineyard tours. Family-friendly destinations such as Clos Lucé (Leonardo da Vinci’s home), Mini-Châteaux Park, Touraine Aquarium, and Beauval Zoo are all within a 40-minute drive.
