Welcome to La Gaucherie Aux Dames, in the rolling countryside of the Vallée du Lys, between Cholet and Saumur.
Set in a calm, peaceful environment surrounded by nature, the gîte is located in a former convent that has been renovated, retaining its beautiful stonework, beams and exposed roof timbers.
From the small covered terrace with its magnificent views over the countryside, you enter the 18m² living room, which includes a small lounge with television, a dining area and a small fitted kitchen with sink, 2 hobs, fridge, mini-oven and microwave.
Also on the ground floor is the first bedroom (14m²) with 2 single beds (90x190cm), private shower room and separate toilet.
Upstairs is the second bedroom (9m²), on a mezzanine floor opening onto the living room, with a 140x190cm bed, en-suite shower room with vanity unit and wc.
Outside, enjoy the garden furniture and barbecue and admire the view. A small pond, lit in the evening, makes for a bucolic setting. The river below the gîte invites you to relax. You can access it and even picnic there if you wish. Enjoy a stay in the heart of nature, surrounded by horses, sheep and cows. Hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding trails are all close to the gîte.
In the surrounding area, you can visit the Doué la Fontaine Biopark in 20 minutes, Saumur in 40 minutes, Angers in 45 minutes and the Puy du Fou in 50 minutes.
