Gîtes Eldamar

Gîtes Eldamar is a family-run holiday cottage rental property located in Chambon (37290), Indre-et-Loire, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France, just 7 km from the thermal spa town of La Roche-Posay. The property offers three self-catering gîtes — Galadriel, Laureline, and Elendil — set within a 5,000 m² orchard and peaceful rural surroundings at the crossroads of Poitou, Touraine, and Berry. Gîtes Eldamar caters to a wide range of guests, including families seeking a relaxing countryside escape, groups celebrating events such as weddings, birthdays, and family reunions, sports enthusiasts participating in events like the Trail Sud Touraine, and professionals in need of seminar or training venues. The gîtes are available year-round on a nightly, daily, weekend, or weekly basis, and pets are welcome in two of the three cottages. Guests benefit from a host of on-site extras, including optional intermediate cleaning for long stays, leisure equipment rental (bicycles and inflatable canoes with life jackets), made-to-order breakfasts and gourmet hampers featuring fresh vegetables from the kitchen garden, free-range eggs, and homemade charcuterie boards. The property also offers discovery workshops in permaculture and jam-making, access to organic fruit and vegetable gardens with seasonal pick-your-own options, and a small farm with ponies, sheep, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and domestic animals. The gîte Elendil enjoys a stunning view over the Creuse valley. Chambon itself is recognised for its artistic heritage in pottery and painting, and the location places guests within easy reach of major regional attractions, including Angles-sur-l'Anglin (one of France's most beautiful villages, 17 km), the Château de Chenonceau (35–40 km), and the Futuroscope theme park (67 km). Gîtes Eldamar combines authentic rural charm with practical amenities, making it an ideal base for nature lovers, cultural explorers, and anyone seeking a restorative stay in the heart of the French countryside.
