Photos and Description of this Indre-et-Loire holiday farmhouse 5 and 3 bedrooms,3 and 2 bath/shower rooms, sleeps 7/8 and 6

Dating back to about 1700, La Folie is a 'Coeur de ferme' situated in tranquil Touraine countryside in the Loire Valley. It is close to the villages of Betz-le- Chateau and Ferrière Larçon and twenty minutes drive from the historic town of Loches (where the recently discovered Caravaggio paintings are on display). It is within easy reach of many of the Loire Chateaux and is a perfect, peaceful hideaway - your ideal spot for a relaxing holiday in France. There are two cottages, Hirondelles, the original farm house with five bedrooms and Tourterelles, part of the original stables, with 3 bedrooms. The two cottages share the use of an 11 metre heated pool. Further photos and other information can be found on owners web site.

Rating
5 out of 5

Fantastic place

Lauraine Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland
Review Submitted: August 3, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is the ideal setting for a quiet but fun filled holiday. The property is a fantastic base with lots for the children to do or you are within an hour of most of the top visitor attractions in the area. The pool is great and the children spent most of there time there.
The property itself was very clean and provided everything we could need, the owner has been very helpful.
We especially enjoyed the local markets in Descartes and Loches.
