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

Wir hatten 2 wunderschöne Wochen bei Marc und Christine, die unheimlich nett und hilfsbereit sind. Das Kloster ist eine ganz außergewöhnliche Kulisse für einen Urlaub. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr sauber und bestens ausgestattet, uns hat nichts gefehlt. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr sauber und lädt zum Schwimmen ein.
Ein besonderes Erlebnis waren die Ausfahrten mit dem Jeep, zu denen Marc uns eingeladen hat. Der Sternenhimmel mit Milchstraße (!!!) war überwältigend!
Durch die Abgeschiedenheit konnten wir perfekt entspannen, dazu hat auch beigetragen, dass wir für guten Handyempfang ein paar Meter vor die Haustür gehen mussten. Da legt man das Handy eher mal weg ;-)
Wir haben viele gute Tipps für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung und für Restaurants bekommen.
Vielen Dank auch für die Hilfe mit unserem Auto!
Wir kommen gerne wieder und können dieses Feriendomizil wärmstens empfehlen!

We had a wonderful summer stay as a family in this Gîte. It is a mix of culture and history with design. It offers quite and nature while being close to many castles and other activities nearby. The hosts Christine and Marc were very welcoming and offered help and advice on how to explore the Abbey and its surroundings. They made our stay extra pleasant with special tips, tours and were always there to help. We enjoyed our stay and the region very much and can’t wait to get back.

In strange Covid-19 summer we spent amazing and relaxing holidays in the historic monument of Abbaye-St-Michel-de-Bois-Aubry. Christine and Marc are perfect hosts, thanks again for the warm welcome, your kind hospitality, the magnificent Jeep safari and abbey tour, lot of tips for excursions and culinary highlights and for being available when ever needed. The house is really unique, giving us charming accommodation for 14 days, providing enough space for four of us on three open levels. I never hit one of the countless wooden beams within this former agricultural building, even in the night! But people should know each other, there is not one door inside! The beds, bedclothes and linen are comfortable. The free-standing bathtube is stylish in fact, of course we took a bath although there is a multi-nozzle-shower as well! The kitchen is well equipped, quantity of dinnerware and cutlery is sufficient for utilisation of the dishwasher. The living room is quite comfortable with two couches, but used seldom in summertime. Outside sitting area is surrounded by hedges, providing privacy. The swimming pool is quite big and well maintained, sunbeds are available. There are several suites in the park area surrounding the abbey, every day you can choose your favourite place in this adventure playground. During our stay the abbey was embedded in pictureresque sunflowers and grainfields. In the village Luzé you can dispose your sorted waste only, next bakery is in Nouatre approx. 10 minutes away, to the next supermarket in St Maure, Richelieu or L'Ile-Bouchard it takes roundabout 20 minutes by car. This location is perfect to explore either the Loire-Valley with its medieval cities and chateaus or the Romanesque Poitou, even day trips to La Rochelle and/ or the beaches in Aquitaine are possible, when starting early.
Kind regards!

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.
