You will immediately feel at home after the warm welcoming of the owners! Although the they live on the same property, they stay very discrete. They provided useful information regarding the neighbourhood (restaurants, bakery, activities…) and really wanted us to have a nice stay.
The house itself is nicely decorated and contains everything you need to enjoy the holidays (fyi: a tv is not present, but you have good WiFi connection). You can enjoy the stunning view on the Loire from the backyard and visit the excellent wineries nearby.
Un cadre idéal pour passer une semaine dans la verdure.
Un accueil très chaleureux et attentionné, un home tout neuf et confortable.
Une vue magnifique sur la Loire, tout près d'un petit village les pieds dans l'eau et à moins de 10 mn d'Angers !
Un grand merci à la famille !
C 'était l'endroit idéal pour nous qui voulions faire 4 jours de vélo le long de la Loire. Toutes commodités sont présentes dans ce petit gîte. Atention juste au couchage: 1 chambre fermée avec lit de 140x190, 1 petite chambre/bureau non fermée avec lit 90x190 et une banquette lit 2 places dans le salon. Hôtes très accueillants et discrets.
Entre l'accueil de Francine, John et Elissa, le confort lumineux du loft et le charme des jardins donnant sur la Loire, il est difficile de dire ce qui donne le plus de charme à ce bijou de lieu. Au point qu'on peine à en sortir pour visiter les caves à vins, les coteaux, les berges du fleuve, les villages rustiques...
