Well equipped beautiful cottage in the Loire countryside. Very Clean. Owners are very welcoming and friendly and have a vineyard 1/2 an hour away - worth the trip and the tasting. The house is close to Saumur which is lovely and has lots to see and do, including nice restaurants and is well located for visiting some famous historical sites like Chinon and Fontavraud Abbey. a very relaxing break.

We stayed only one night so there was not much time to investigate the area apart from the glorious surrounding countryside, lovely little cottage, a bit rustic surroundings but charming inside and has everything you could need. The wifi could do with a booster as while we were there it dropped out a little occasionally but not important for us. We did think it was not very clear that there were no linens included as they usually are but it seems they are not mentioned in the description of amenities which was a bit disappointing as we could not buy bedding for just one evening, however we were able to rent them for a charge. The host was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.

Logement qui pourrait être parfait mais aucune indication sur la route ,ni même sur place ,quand a l accès avec les tuillas c est franchement pas évident. Manquement sérieusement de finitions et de propreté,ménage a revoir ... noté sur l annonce lave vaisselle.... introuvable,vaisselle disparate ,pas de bol !! Ecttt

Très bonne semaine avec un temps magnifique. Nous avons bien profité du jardin le matin au petit déjeuner comme le soir après les balades. Très calme et quel plaisir de se réveiller le matin au chant des oiseaux !! La location est très bien située pour faire de belles balades sans faire beaucoup de kilomètres. La maison est bien équipée ; nous n'avons manqué de rien. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et discret mais présent en cas de besoin. Les murs épais en pierre permettent de garder le rez-de-chaussée frais ce qui est très appréciable en cas de fortes températures; mais rendent les ondes (téléphone, wi-fi) un peu capricieuses. attention, l'escalier menant aux chambres est un peu raide.
