A Four Seasons/Five Stars Loire Valley Cottage, Grand Chateaux Area

La Menagerie is a 18th century wine-maker’s house, set on two floors (approximately 2045 square feet).

The main cottage can accommodate up to six adults in three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor. One --sometimes referred as the Master's BR-- has a queen size bed and the other one features twin beds. A full bathroom with WC, shower is available on that same floor, plus a separate WC in a powder room.
The third bedroom, under the rooftop upstairs, is en suite with a library and desk on one side, and a full bathroom with bathtub/shower and separate WC on the other side. A family room with large sofas, flat smart TV and sound system is also available upstairs.
In case you would have to add two more guests for your family and siblings reunion there is a side/self standing charming cottage next to this main cottage on the same courtyard, overlooking the pool and deck. The "Other Cottage" has a veranda/breakfast nook, a fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom and a bedroom/living room with a full size bed that can accommodate two guests in comfort. And In case you would need one more bedroom for a couple (that is up to a total of 4 guests in the "Other Cottage"), a large bedroom that connects with the ground floor unit through an indoor staircase can also be rented-out. This bedroom, under the rooftop, is actually the largest in the property. It has a queen size bed and has the most spectacular views over the countryside surroundings.

If you would like to see details about this additional options you can check them out on that same listing site (HomeAwayUK) under "The Other Cottage at La Ménagerie".

However, in order to ensure full privacy to your party during, if you only rent the Main Cottage for six guests, the "Other Cottage" and "The Barn at La Ménagerie", will not be rented-out to other parties during your stay.

The renovation of the main cottage was completed in 2005. It preserved its character while making it as comfortable as any contemporary home, with broadband wireless Internet connection, top quality heating system and Finnish SAUNA, washer & separate dryer among other amenities.

The ground floor is composed of a large living and dining room that open to a joint kitchen with a bar stand, two bedrooms, a full bathroom plus a powder room with a toilet and basin, and a laundry room. The third bedroom is upstairs and has a double bed under the rooftop. It is lightened with two dormer windows and is en suite with another full bathroom that has a bathtub. The bedroom also opens into a library. On this same floor, there is a family room with a flat-screen smart TV and sound system.
