Description
Chantepierre (which translates to "Singing Stones") is a beautifully presented traditional French Longere (a long house) which provides exceptionally spacious accommodation that blends its original 100-year-old charm and character with contemporary living. The house itself is very well equipped for families, couples and individuals, offering flexible accommodation that can comfortably sleep eight people (with a child's cot available). Due to its layout, it is as equally cosy for a couple and is as warm and welcoming in the cooler months as it is in the glorious summer.
Chantepierre features a wonderful one-acre garden which is verybprivate with trees, shrubs and fencing and has a lovely enclosed heated 10 x 5m heated pool which has an electric cover for extra security.
Situated less than 1km from the centre of the village of Meigne le Vicomte, which offers a small shop and bar, Chantepierre is within easy reach of the many Chateaux, vineyards and attractions for which the Loire Valley is known, with the historic and fashionable Chateaux towns of Saumur, Tours, and Chinon less than 45 minutes drive.
