L'Ecrin de Verdure - Self-catering cottages in Indre-et-Loire
L'Ecrin de Verdure
1 La Martinière, 37500 Ligré, Indre-et-Loire
Loire Valley,
France
A very particular corner of the Loire valley, not far from the fertile river banks yet very different in landscape and geology. You're near the sleepy farming village of Ligré and beautiful Chinon is just ten minutes in the car. There's so much to do without budging: play pétanque, swim in the pool, enjoy your own hot tub in Verveine and Rosemary, book a massage or visit the lovely on-site shop. 2CV tours can be arranged to wine and truffle producers.
Your lodge has a good-sized kitchen (the one for two with just a hob, no oven) and are well stocked. If you stay for a week you'll find a bottle of wine, homemade jam and fresh fruit waiting for you. Eat indoors or out in your own garden at a wooden table, perhaps under a laden fruit tree – it's all deliciously Instagrammable. Children can romp safely through the wider garden with its hedges and stone walls.
Bedrooms are calm, bathrooms straight out of a country interiors magazine.

Charlène Beauvillain:
- Come to discover L'Ecrin de Verdure in Ligré, the ideal location for an unforgettable holiday in the heart of the peaceful countryside near to Chinon.
- Great restaurants to try* Gardeners 5 minutes from the Greenery. In Chinon only 10 minutes: "LES ANNEES 30, LE NEMROD, L'OCEANIC". Facing the Loire, 30 minutes: "LE CAFE DE LA LOIRE" Fantastic
- Discover the Loire Valley's châteaux, medieval towns and stunning landscapes. Walk the hiking trails and visit the beautiful vineyards. Touraine is also a culinary paradise for foodies.
- Visit the beautiful villages of Candes-Saint-Martin and Montsoreau, then finish with the magnificent Fontevraud Abbey! Not to be missed!* It's splendid!
- Wine tasting, lunch or dinner amidst the vineyards, visits to wine cellars
- Life is good here, with a new swimming pool that will be finished in May 2026. The jacuzzis are a great bonus for relaxation, as they are private and located in the gardens of the Verveine et Romarin gîte. Book a massage upon arrival after your trip or during your stay! You are most welcome.
