Townhouse in Preuilly-sur-Claise
5 bedroom, 2 bathroom
Sleeps 8 - 10 People
£350 - £695 Per Week

The property is usually let for max. 8 adults + 2 babies/toddlers. 10 adults would be considered (Z-beds provided). The large stone house, part 17th part 19th century, is approached through wide wooden doors opening from the street. This allows cars to drive in under the 'gatehouse' up into the high-walled garden which gives seclusion and privacy.
Entrance is into the large fitted kitchen, with table and bench seating for 6/8, + utility room, with dishwasher and washing machine.
The kitchen leads into both the large salon (with old piano - music in cupboard) and the elegant dining-room. Both lead into the hall. On the 1st floor there are 3 airy bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. Upstairs again, the loft 'flat' has its own sitting room, 2 single bedrooms (+2 Z-beds) and a shower room; in minimalist style this eyrie is popular with the younger generation. The garden has plenty of furniture and space for relaxation.

•The salon has high, beamed ceilings and an open wood burning fireplace, piano, hi-fi (in cupboard with games and music) lots of books and comfortable sea

•1st floor Bedrooms: 1 twin, 1 zip and link double and one small French double with an extra pull-out bed and wooden cot, all with shelf and hanging space and towel rails.

•The ground and 1st floor windows have secondary glazing.
•The garden faces south and east, giving sun and shade - with trees and shaded terrace by the house
•L’Image, the hotel/restaurant around 200m from the house, are our keyholders
•Our English speaking agent is available to answer any questions. He is from the family who own L’Image
•His partner looks after and cleans the house. 3 hours cleaning is included in the rental
•Preuilly's heated outdoor swimming pool is open in July and August; tennis is bookable at the Mairie; both are about 5 mins walk
•There are good restaurants and food stores within 250 m. and a large supermarket at Yzeures-sur-Creuse, about 15 mins drive

Preuilly-sur-Claise is an ancient small town with many old stone houses; it is the centre of the commune, set by the river in rolling countryside. Although small, it includes 4 restaurants (of varying styles and menus - in our opinion L'Image is best), 2 hotels with bars and a July/August heated open air swimming pool. Within 200m there are a Post Office, 2 boulangerie, a charcuterie and a boucherie, 2 pharmacies, Credit Agricole, small market on Thursday, abbey church, small chateau (private) and museum and a library where one may for 12 Euros p.a. benefit from internet access. At the Mairie one may apply to rent p.h. tennis courts; The Tabac, selling local and English language papers (currently Daily Telegraph) is around 80 paces from the house.

Nearby, within 20 mins drive, there are several river swimming spots on the Creuse, Haute Touche Animal Park, walks in the Foret de Preuilly, riding near Grande Pressigny, Golf at La Roche Posay; 30 mins brings you to the leisure lake of Bellebouche, with a real sandy beach, pedalos and the like or eastward to the canoeing at Descartes, or southward to boating at Le Blanc, with its splendid museum on the history of the Brenne fishing lakes.

Preuilly is in the southern tip of Indre et Loire, la Sud-Touraine, benefitting from the many tourist attractions of the Loire Valley, and those of the north of La Vienne - and the Brenne with its nature reserves and lakes to the east. The climate is temperate, with the proverbial golden light of the Loire.
'le cave' La Domaine de Ris is 15 mins from Preuilly at Bosssay-sur-Claise. The Brenne man-made fishing lakes provide for nature lovers and 'twitchers' - and a cooling icecream at the inn by lake Le Gabriere The southern Touraine is also a region of 'pre-history' with troglodytic dwelling and museums and archeological sites.

South into La Vienne is Chatellerault, for Thursday market (food in Les Halles) and perhaps a coffee on the Boulevard Blossac or a tour of the Motor Museum - or the leisure centre, with flumes! Then there is steep sloped Angles-sur-Anglin, 'un des plus beaux village de France'; a little further south brings you to St Savin with its World History Site - its abbey with ancient wall, ceiling and pillar paintings, then westwards to Chauvigny with its crumbling fortress, where one may sit overlooking the valley and view a display of great condors and storks and the like flying near - some very near; and west again to the southern atmosphere of Poitiers. Then, of course, around 45 mins away is the Futuroscope, with its fantastic buildings, IMAX cinemas, large playground and evening lasar shows.

The Loire is the region of the kings of France - consequently there is a great deal of 'history'; Trying to count places of interest, we stopped at 140... this includes the many chateaux, large and small - for us the best is Chenonceaux (around 45 mins). Great for families is Le Clos Luce, the home of Leonardo da Vinci, at Amboise - it includes outdoor, working, usable, models of some of his inventions.Tours has many museums, and shops, a theatre - and a bus from/to Preuilly at least twice a day. There are of course, many 'caves' for wine tasting and buying in the region.
