Cute compact welcoming gite, set in stunning surroundings with a fantastic pool. Peaceful, relaxing, everything and more than we expected. Hosts Lisa and Mark are both welcoming and friendly. Nothing too much trouble and always at to hand with local information or recommendations of where best to visit. A glorious two weeks.
A lovely gite and grounds, everything we wanted for our holiday. Great amenities, every detail and thought has gone into making a relaxed place to stay and for touring. Mark and Lisa were very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us with any assistance. Very highly recommended.
Very peaceful location nestled in a large shrub and tree filled garden. The accommodation was super clean and well equipped with a quirky staircase. The whole place has a relaxed feel with Mark and Lisa as welcoming and helpful hosts. Do we recommend? Yes and we are planning a return visit next year to prove it.
A lovely treditional French cottage gite, very comfortable and brilliantly equipped with everything we could have needed for a perfect, relaxing stay. Lisa and Mark are excellent hosts, welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. Just perfect.
Weitläufiges sehr schönes Grundstück. Herzliche Gastgeber, die uns sehr viele Informationen und Empfehlungen für Ausflüge und Restaurants zur Verfügung gestellt haben.
Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr ruhig in einem großen Grundstück mit Pool. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett. Sie hatten kostenlos (!) eine Erstausstattung an Lebensmitteln bereitgestellt (Baguette, Butter, Milch, Saft und eine Flasche Wein). So etwas erlebten wir noch nie.
Der Parkplatz stand kostenlos zur Verfügung.
Nous avons apprécié le calme régnant au sein du parc, les hôtes étaient chaleureux, respectueux, et soucieux de notre bien être quotidien. Ils ont également su nous proposer des activités en adéquation avec nos valeurs, ainsi que des restaurants très agréables. C'est un séjour que nous vous recommandons vivement !
Es war ein super Aufenthalt! Die Gites sind gemütlich, großzügig ausgestattet, der Garten und Pool wunderbar. Mark und Lisa sind tolle Gastgeber, immer ansprechbar, aber nicht aufdringlich. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!
Ce gîte trouvé par hasard nous a enchantés , tant par le logement (propre, fonctionnel, très bien équipé en linge et matériel, superbement restauré) que l'environnement entouré de massifs de fleurs dans un parc habité par les écureuils et les oiseaux au milieu de la campagne. Arrivés en moto avec un minimum de bagages, on a été enchantés de disposer de tout ce dont on avait besoin. LIsa et Mark, les hôtes, sont des personnes adorables et généreuses, toujours prêts à rendre service en restant très discrets. Nous recommanderions également cet endroit pour des familles avec enfants du fait des équipements extérieurs (multiples jeux, cabane,..., ) et de la piscine. Idéal pour les personnes qui cherchent le calme. Bravo à Lisa et Mark pour le travail qu'ils ont effectué, nous recommandons hautement leurs gites. Laurence et Rémi
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! Le gîte est propre et tous les équipements nécessaires sont à disposition.
Les propriétaires sont très attentionnés et disponibles. C’est très agréable.
De plus, des jouets extérieurs sont à disposition pour les jeunes enfants. Ils adorent.
La piscine est également très bien entretenue. Des bouées sont également à disposition.
C’est une excellente adresse !
Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir !
De plus, l’accent britannique des propriétaires nous invite au voyage. Ça dépayse et c’est très agréable !
Lisa, Mark and Tom were wonderful and kind hosts and made us feel welcome right away. The accommodation has a beautiful, well-kept garden with a fenced heated pool, which was lovely! Our toddler also really enjoyed the swing, slide, little playhouse and toy cars in the garden and while she was playing, we could relax in the shade of one of the many trees. Our gite (Le Petit Logis) was tastefully decorated and while the upstairs bedroom could get warm during hot summer days, the living room downstairs remained cool even on the hottest days. Lisa, Mark and Tom were always willing to help (e.g. providing us with clear instructions to a car repair centre, a nightlight for our daughter, etc.) and made it a truly enjoyable experience!

The best gite I've ever stayed in.
I spent a week in Le Pressoir with 4 friends. We spent a very enjoyable week exploring the Loire Valley. The gite was extremely well equipped and comfortable. The outside terrace was a perfect spot for sipping a glass of local wine and watching the wildlife in the garden.
This is an idyllic spot for children to run around and play.
Lisa and Mark are welcoming and friendly and their welcome pack was much appreciated.

Relaxing week at the Logis de Pressoir
We spent just short of a week at the Logis de Pressoir (in Le Petit Logis) at the beginning of July. The gite was perfect for 2 adults, albeit that the stairs took a bit of getting used to, and Lisa, Mark and Tom were great hosts.
Most of our time was spent by the pool, enjoying the sunshine, but Brion is well-placed to enjoy Saumur and the rest of the Loire.
We would definitely recommend the Logis!

Relaxing break, lovely hosts, beautiful setting
We stayed for one week at the end of August/beginning of September 2009 and it was not long enough. We were immediately made to feel very welcomed by Lisa, Mark, Tom and Archie (the dog). The welcome goodies were very welcomed by us, what a lovely touch! There were families staying in the other gites and all the children seemed to be having a great time sharing Tom's playthings. We intended to relax and do nothing, which we did from Saturday until Tuesday, when the weather changed. We were forced (by the weather) to re-explore the Loire and we were glad we did. The gite is situated in an ideal area with plenty to see and do close by. I would recommend this gite for couples and families, in fact anyone! One more thing, we would highly recommend ordering a meal from Jane at La Gourmande du Tertre we were sorry we had not done so earlier in the week so we could have had two! Thank you again Lisa Mark and Tom. Hope to see you again in the future.

A relaxing break in Le Petit Logis
This was exactly the break we wanted; a small, well equipped, two person gite converted from old vineyard buildings, set in picturesque and relaxing environment. Le Petit Logis is pretty, comfortable and functional. It is obvious that Mark and Lisa have thought carefully about the facilities a self-catering gite should offer; the attention to detail will bring a smile to your face. The welcome pack and the information on the local area was especially useful and well prepared.
The property is located a short walk from Brion village centre and has good proximity to the main transit routes in the area (to Saumur and Angers), offering the perfect balance of tranquality and acessibility. There is also an Intermarche supermarket and 24hr petrol station within 10 mins.
There is enough to keep you occupied in this area for at least ten days or more. On your doorstep are pleasant walks and bike rides, but a short drive away you have the Loire river, two zoos (each have a different focus and worth a visit), numerous chateaux to visit (Usse and Azy le Rideau are nice), wine tasting / cave visits (around Saumur) and much more. Further afield there are adventure parcs and medievel attractions.
I would thoroughly recommend the Saumur area for a visit but Mark and Lisa could not have been better hosts with a beautiful property to be enjoyed by couples and families alike.
