La Jolivière - Troglodyte house

We invite you to enjoy a very pleasant stay in this charming and large troglodyte enclosure typical of Tours from the 17th century. Former convent and home of great travelers.
This totally atypical place facing due south on the Loire Valley is located on the hillside (access with 45 steps), 700 meters from the shops of Vouvray and about 15 minutes by car from Tours. In summer, the natural air conditioning of this place will be very appreciated.
Not suitable for festive events.
