Le Troglo à Plumes

Between Saumur and Chinon, come and stay in this large troglodyte Holiday cottage, a unique Unusual accommodation. Built by monks in the 11th century, this atypical place of exceptional character has been renovated to provide all the comforts required for a pleasant and comfortable stopover. Access via the outside staircase, some forty steps up, makes this accommodation not suitable for people with reduced mobility. On the first level: fitted and equipped kitchen, large open fireplace, large living room with table and chairs for 13 people, lounge with TV and wifi, large glass roof and its magnificent view over the Loire. The terrace overlooking the Loire Valley is equipped with garden furniture and a barbecue. It is accessible from both the kitchen and the living room. On this level is a first bathroom of 23m²: shower, corner bath, vanity unit and toilet + separate toilet. Sleeps 2 in the convertible sofa in the living room (140 x 190cm); this room has no shutters or blackout curtains, so travelers using this bed will benefit from the natural morning light. Half a level down, you'll find the Bakery's bedroom with the old bread oven, featuring a 200 x 200cm bed and a 90 x 200cm bed. Go down a further level to discover the 2nd sleeping area, comprising two bedrooms: the Jardin d'Eden room with a 200 x 200cm double bed and a 90 x 200cm single bed, then the Moines' room with 3 90 x 200cm beds and a mezzanine accessible by a miller's ladder with a 140 x 190cm floor bed protected by netting.
