:: ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
The following information has been added
by the owner of this property:
Located next the 12th century abbey at the heart of the village in Fontevraud this is the place where Richard the Lionheart is buried and where there is now a wonderful cultural centre dedicated largely to classical music and visual arts. On our doorstep we have a pretty square, crafts and arts workshops, a savonnarie and a gallery of international repute, dedicated to ancient artefacts from Nepal, China, Tibet and India. We are next to a huge forest and the village is surrounded by many vineyards, wonderful not only for their scenic beauty but also of course for 'a little tipple' or 'degusting' as they say in these parts. A range of water-sports and river tips in old-style wooden boats are available nearby. And the creme de la creme of the area is of course the wonderful chateaux.

Built in the 1860s of creamy Tuffeau stone, Chez Teresa is shaped like a ship on the curve of the road next to the ancient abbey of Fontevraud. Dramatic in appearance, its key features are an elegant dining room, a pretty tea salon and bedrooms packed with objet d'art. Its original staircase sweeps over four floors. Chambre Flora is on the first floor next to a huge original stained glass window. The interior design is a mixture of French and English, gleaned from cross-channel Brocantes.

Car hire is strongly recommended.

Distances
Chez Teresa is at the epicentre of the vibrant and friendly village of Fontevraud (14 kms from Saumur) 50 kms from Tours and 60 kms from Angers.

Further details
Fontevraud has a cash dispenser.

The area boasts some very fine restaurants in particular Fontevraud has the Michelin starred, Le Licorne and Tontevraud Abbey has a highly regarded restaurant.

One other thing to point out is that we are happy to cater for vegetarians and those who are on special diets. We in fact eat and serve
fish dishes, but the vegetarian aspect may have appeal for some, though by
the same token we do not want to put others off from staying here!
Fontevraud also boasts a number of fine restaurants, but we do offer evening
meals and have received many compliments about our cooking.

Close Cristal (one of a handful of vineyards in France owned by the Health Service) is nearby where the Champigny wines are organic.

Sadly due to the stairs we are not wheelchair accessible. This is of course because the house was built over four floors in 1865 as a home and not as a guesthouse. Chambre Flora is on the first floor and Chambre Rose on the second floor.

Outside
Chambre Flora and the Chez Teresa Dining Room have very small balconies usually filled with pretty flowers.

There is a small garden nearby to the property if guests so desired to sit there.
