Tucked away in the charming village of Loix on the Île de Ré, Domaine de La Tour offers a serene escape amidst natural beauty and historical allure. This 16th-century winery, lovingly restored over the past two years, blends modern comfort with beautiful ancient stone work. Entering the estate, you will be greeted by an enchanting inner courtyard, shaded by ancient linden trees, inviting you to unwind and soak in the atmosphere.

Stepping inside, the main house reveals its spacious and beautifully appointed interiors, having been sympathetically restored to keep the original features. The open-plan kitchen is a cook's dream, complete with a breakfast bar, dining table for twelve guests, and all the modern appliances you could need, including a Nespresso and De'Longhi coffee machine. Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room features a fireplace pit area, two large sofas, lounge chairs, and a sound system – perfect for relaxed evenings in.

The main house offers five bedrooms, each designed for comfort and style. Four of these are spacious en suite double bedrooms: three with king-sized beds, and one with a queen-sized bed. The fifth room features a foldable double bed, ideal for additional guests.

Just a short stroll from the main house, the annexe provides additional accommodation with two bedrooms – one with a king-size bed and the other with two singles. The annexe also boasts its own open-plan kitchen, a spacious living room with a fireplace, and a dining area.

The property spans over 4 acres, featuring a private car park, a tennis court, a rejuvenating sauna, and access to an orchard brimming with fig, pear, and plum trees.

Domaine de La Tour is located near the salt marshes and meadows, with no immediate neighbours and Loix port just 300m away. There is a super practical cycle path located right outside the house. Guests can enjoy walking directly from the house into the countryside, and exploring the nearby beaches.
