About this house rental

Hidden behind oak gates next to L'Eglise Notre Dame in Veniers, 3km from all the amenities of the medieval town of Loudun. La Maison Tumtum Arbre is a delightful self-catering gite for a maximum of 2 people. Sensitively renovated to a high standard, original oak beams and tuffeau stone walls combine with modern design to create an enchanting space, perfect for a comfortable retreat and base from which to explore the Loire Valley, ‘the garden of France’.

The open plan ground floor provides a well equipped, modern kitchen including a full size cooker, microwave/grill, fridge, dishwasher, crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment, complimented with granite worktops. The dining and lounge area with WiFi, satellite HD TV & DVD leads to bi-fold doors which open out onto the south facing terrace and outdoor cooking area with outdoor table and chairs. To the rear of the gite sun loungers are available in the private and exclusive gravel garden. For the winter season electric heating is installed.
A wooden staircase leads to the first floor suite which is furnished with a kingsize framed bed fitted with crisp white Egyptian cotton sheets; there is a dressing table with mirror, hairdryer, wardrobe and a sofa. The ensuite shower room has a rainhead shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet. Towels for indoor and outdoor use are provided. The suite has wooden floors and a feature stone wall.

Our 'Paradise' garden is a formal garden with gentle fountain and an arbour were guests can relax......read a book.....drink a glass of wine....

We now have our own small craft brewery onsite, 'Thirsty Steves' has been brewing artisan beer since 2020. Traditionally brewed using all natural ingredients.

The property is finished to a very high standard, immaculate throughout. Great outside areas for eating and relaxing. Kitchen fully equipped with high end facilities and the bedroom and bathroom also provide all you need with the emphasis on luxury, definitely recommended.

This property is outstanding, pictures don't do justice to such a fantastic place to stay. Hosts Pam and Steve have thought of everything and then some more. Such a friendly welcome and just enough information not overload. We felt so relaxed and really loved our 3 nights.

Pam and Steve were wonderful hosts, the gîte was perfect - arty, well-equipped and cosy - and the location great for exploring the Loire/Vienne sites. Thanks for your warm welcome!

Hidden behind a large double gate, next to the church, this property exceeded our expectations. We found the descriptions to be accurate and the furnishings and fittings are all very high end. The stairs to the bedroom and ensuite are necessarily a bit steep and if we had one minor gripe it wa that the fridge is small so if you are self catering rather than eating out then perhaps shop accordingly for your arrival. Although thee are no amenities in Veniers, Loudun itself is a short drive away and may make for a pleasant stroll although it was too hot to test this theory during our stay. There was shade to be found throughout the day in the private courtyard in the fabulous gardens. The hosts were very approachable and full of useful information and thee is a microbrewery on site offering 3 distinct brews. Chinon, Saumur and Fontevraud are short drives away, we particularly enjoyed Fontevraud. We have no hesitation in recommending this site to everyone. We aren't in the habit of returning to places but if we were we would happily revisit La Maison Tumtum Arbre. Thank you Pam( and Steve).

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans ce gîte très confortable et très calme., à une demi-heure de voiture de nombreux sites. Nous avons pu visiter Fontevraud, Chinon, et faire du vélo le long de la Loire. Le gîte est confortable et décoré avec goût, le jardin est très agréable aussi, Pam et Steve sont des hôtes accueillants et disponibles.. Merci à eux.
