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!
