Perfect for our wedding
This is an amazingly beautiful period property with lots of original features, we chose this property because it was so beautiful, we held our wedding ceremony there and everything was perfect, the property was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed, we were a party of 45 people and it did not feel crowded. The pool was a welcome addition to the property also.You would need a car if staying her as not accessible by public transport, but we knew that before booking.

Comfortable house with lots to entertain all ages.
We were a group of 22 adults 1 child.We had a fabulous time,so much space in the grange and Manoir,loads of things to do,in & around the house,the swimming pool with the retractable roof was an absolute triumph and kept all very happy.we were able to visit many of the lovely places within easy distance of the house.There is a railway station nearby which made travelling into Tours very easy,it also enabled us to pick up members of the party who arrived by train very easily.Futuroscope was within easy travelling time and some of the youngsters travelled there by car.David & Angelina( the owners) were very easy to contact,and always replied promptly to any queries we had.We would all recommend La Retardiere to anyone looking for a big,comfortable fun filled holiday destination.

Host profile image
Belgian family of a company executive in Germany, La Retardière has been our refuge to relax with our 5 kids all around. The region is offering many witnesses of the long french history and that has suit us. We have steadely renewed and refurbished the mansion. We have always feel good there.

Why they chose this property

Since 23 years it was our holiday house. It has been completely refurbished to be able to gather the whole family and their friends. Today the kids are adults and they live far away. To insure that the property is constantly maintained we have decided to rent it instead of leave it empty. The big families which come to spend their holidays are are delighted by the pool, the terrasses, the garden, the 46" LED TV and the Wifi.

What makes this property unique

18000sqm of parc and grass. A large pool. A ceder tree which gives some pleasant shadow by having a nap. a large terrasse to spend unforgetable dinners...
From the 1st of october on, the house is heated.
