The SKYLARK 'Troglo-gîte' at our Songbird Sanctuary near Chateau Chenonceau

This is the Skylark, our 'Troglogite' (a troglodyte gîte - a guest home in a cave!). It is a majestic space, with multiple windows and doors along the cliffside, giving onto the courtyard. The main entrance opens up to a grand living space with several alcoves, where we have dining, office, den and two single beds that give you an extra sleeping area. There is an interior connection to the kitchen and bedroom, both rooms also open up to the courtyard.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a full refrigerator, two electric burners and a combined microwave/traditional oven. There is a dishwasher in the apartment, the clothes washer and dryer are in a shared laundry on the property. The courtyard is a shared space with our more traditional gîte, the Dove.

The uniqueness of this property is that it is built in a series of connected caves. It remains naturally and delightfully cool all summer, and is well heated in the winter. You should be aware, however, that you will have to adjust heaters and dehumidifiers to your comfort level, we give full instructions for their operation.
