About this property

Uniquely French 14th Century Tower in rural village with spiral staircases!

La Tour is a 14th century tower that was once part of the main fortified house in Pressigny. The main house became a Priory around the fifteenth century and the Tower was created to houses nuns or the servants, depending on which story you believe! The Tower is now completely private from the main house, with a separate garden and entrance.

The two bedrooms are up separate spiral staircases. The master bedroom is semi circular and has a king sized bed decorated with beautiful drapes. The second bedroom is most suited for children, as it has a low beam under which adults must duck to access two of the four single beds. It is decorated in Harry Potter style, to amuse the children!

The kitchen is small but beautiful and seats six. Outside on the terrace there is a large table, where most of the eating is done from March to October, this being the second sunniest region in France!

Local attractions include Puy de Fou, just over an hour away (one of Europe's best day's out), and Futuroscope in Poitiers, about 45 minutes away. There are wonderful mediaeval villages - St. Loup is ten minutes away and the mediaeval quarter in Parthenay is really worth a visit. Fontevraud Abby, the resting place of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Richard the Lionheart is a stunning place to visit with a beautiful village to explore. We have rivers to wander along, great gardens to visit, several of them based on mediaeval themes and of course, the chateaux of the Loire Valley. The Chateau at Chenenceau, built over the river has stunning gardens and is a fabulous place to explore. Once you have rested and relaxed, you have a wealth of places to choose to visit - and the coast at La Rochelle is a great day out too.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Dormer

Host profile image
I'm English, bought the wonderful 14th century Priory and Tower in Pressigny, France in 2017. I'm brushing up my French, which is passable, but not brilliant and loving life in this small rural village where everyone is so friendly. I love cooking, sailing, reading and making things. I really enjoy organising events and even more, I love meeting people from all round the world. I've travelled quite a lot, lived in the Far East and on a yacht for four years and am keen to get back sailing....if you need a crew who can cook! If you choose to stay here, I hope you will love it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This is a great place to relax and unwind. We have deliberately eschewed modern technology in favour of games, books and enjoyment of the surroundings. If you have to let on, there is wifi, but we hope you will enjoy the Tower, the surroundings and the wonderful countryside and be able to turn your back on the pressures of modern life whilst you are with us.

What makes this property unique

With a massive open fireplace, wonderful for cuddling up in front of in the spring and autumn and a glorious firepit in the garden, you have the best of both worlds! In the garden, sit on sheepskin rugs around the firepit, gaze at the fantastically clear stars in the evening and enjoy watching the barn owl circle the adjacent church tower. Magical!
