La Grand Cour offers a delightful blend of rustic charm and family comfort in a privileged setting for exploring the Loire valley. Tucked behind a large front courtyard, this spacious country home is set in one hectare of private grounds, with lawns that invite garden games, a poolside terrace and shaded spots perfect for long, leisurely lunches.
Inside, the house radiates warmth and conviviality. The fully equipped kitchen flows out to the garden, ideal for al fresco breakfasts or evening barbecues by the trees. Original beams and stone fireplaces add character to the inviting living and dining room, while a library/games room complete with billiard table offers a quiet spot for reading or family competitions after a day’s exploring.
With five bedrooms arranged across two wings, the layout suits both privacy and togetherness. A separate staircase leads to the master en suite bedroom, while the second staircase reveals a further double ensuite, a family shower room and three additional bedrooms including a dorm-style bedroom with five single beds beneath the eaves.
Outdoors, days pass easily between dips in the heated 13-metre pool, games of boules and relaxed meals on the terrace. Younger guests will love the trampoline and swings, while adults can unwind with a glass of local wine overlooking the verdant garden.
La Grand Cour is perfectly placed for discovering the best of the Loire. Just five minutes by car from the bakery in Benais and only 3km from Bourgueil, where you can hire bikes or linger over lunch, the area is rich in charm and convenience. Saumur, with its majestic château and riverside cafés, is just half an hour away, while the historic city of Tours is within easy reach for grander days out.
Ideal for families and groups seeking a relaxed base with space to spread out, La Grand’Cour promises a classic French countryside escape in a superb location for exploring the many highlights of the Loire valley.
