Fantastic house in the best location

Great location and facilities. A very spacious and charming property, great for hide and seek! The games room and pool room were fantastic for our group, the children really enjoyed themselves. Gilles was very attentive and made sure we quickly had extra fans during the very hot weather. A wonderful holiday home!

Enchanting estate

This property was so comfortable, so spacious, and so beautiful that we could not believe where we were. It also had a castle in the back yard. It exceeded all of my expectations. The owner kept in touch to make sure we were happy and helped us in any way he could. I feel honored to have spent time there. Thank you.

A wonderful experience in a beautiful house in a perfect location

The house is magnificent, very spacious with great character and has every facilty you could possibly wish for to make a comfortable and relaxing stay.Gilles was a perfect host and made us very welcome. He was attentive but in a discrete and very comfortable manner.The house is in the centre of Saumur and it was very quick and easy to walk to the many good restaurants and shops. The markets on Saturday are close by and well worth visiting. One of the overriding memories we will all have is the view of the beautiful Saumur chateau from the garden and most of the windows. It is breathtaking and just on your doorstep.The pool is magical. A lovely temperaure and just what you need after a hot day sightseeing.We had a great week and if we ever return to Saumur we will defintely be asking Gilles if we can stay at his house again.

Perfect

Wonderful experience. Villa is hugh! It feels asif you are in a chateau that has been completely modernized and but the charm has been maintained. The kitchen has everything you could need tomake great meals. The 2 living rooms provide privacy and comfort. The heated swimming pool is delightful with a hot water shower near by. There are 20 steps by spiral staircase on either end of the first floor to reach the bedrooms. Showers are beautiful. We had no time to use the game room and we were there for 3 weeks!!!! Location is perfect for exploring the Loire. Saumur itself is 1 block away with great restaurants and shops. OH, the garden with roses is perfect for drinks. Gilles is always available if you need ANYTHING! We were 4 adults. 84, 81, 77, 68. Great vacation.

What an honour it is to stay here

We have just enjoyed an amazing 2 weeks in Gilles gorgeous home. Where to start……The location is amazingly central and ideal for all of the, boulangeries, bars and restaurants that are pretty much on the doorstep yet far enough away that you can’t hear any of it. The drive way is tight and thankfully we had hired a car (Kia sportage) slightly smaller than ours (Skoda Enyaq), which meant we were able to get in, in a 3 point turn. There is parking at the end of the road, but it’s very hit and miss as to whether there’s a space available.The house is just amazing. The rooms are all a great size, beds made up of 2 singles pushed together, so there is lots of flexibility. Each room has an en-suite and there are a couple more showers and toilets available in the house too.The kitchen is a lovely size and very well appointed with an oven, microwave, induction hob & an American style fridge freezer with a water & ice dispenser. It’s well equipped too with several utensils and pieces of crockery.A huge smart tv is in the lounge. We took our fire stick too and the WiFi was absolutely fine to support this - the house is so big, there are 3 separate WiFi connections.The swimming pool and the games room were very well used by us all and we had many games of pool & challenges to beat the top score on the pinball machine, but my husband was gutted that he couldn’t manage it, despite trying.I’ve run out of room but have put have done a video on u tube. It is amazing and i recommend it

Fantastic property in amazing location

The house was a really special place to stay with beautiful rooms and fantastic facilities. Despite the cool, damp weather outside, the house was lovely and warm with easily controllable radiators - a really pleasant surprise in such an old building. The pool was great and the games room was a real treat - especially for my teenage son and husband! The location is great - just round the corner from the centre of Saumur and all it has to offer. We were able to be at the table of one of the excellent local restaurants in minutes by foot. Gilles was an attentive host and made sure we were enjoying our stay. I would highly recommend!

Great location, great property, great host!

Fantastic property full of history with many rooms to explore. Gilles has renovated the property to a very high standard while keeping its original charm. The location was perfect with bars, cafes and the river just a few minutes walk. We met with Gilles and his wife one night by chance and learned more about the history of the building and it’s familiy connection to Gilles which was fascinating. I would truly recommend Saumur and this fantastic property for a memorable stay.

A Chateaux in Saumur

More than most properties - Gille’s sprawling 16th, 17th and other centuries place will mould to your wishes. No heated pool for us and the games room remained quiet. But a wonderful maze with parking for only the Le Mans champs ( like myself). Everything is close and walkable.

Right beside the Chateau.

A fascinating property with a history. Fabulous views of the chateau from the bedroom windows and from the courtyard. Right in the centre of Saumur, but had a large heated indoor swimming pool. The extra treat was the pool table and pinball machine. It was easy enough to reverse the cars into the courtyard with practice. It was lovely and convenient for restaurants, the chateau and the bakery. Gilles, our host was at the end of a phone if we needed him. Nicole the housekeeper made us welcome very efficiently and cheerfully. We'd definitely go again.

Fabulous house well located in delightful town

As a group of friends who travel together every year we have been lucky enough to stay in lots of great places over the last 30 years. This house was possibly the best of the lot. An amazing old building full of character and really well equipped, located near the centre of Saumur, the house is very charming. The host, Gilles, was friendly and very helpful , checking everything was going OK and offering assistance if needed. The pool is great and with an underwater view of the old house foundations. The bedrooms are large and have great views of the Chateau and Saumur town. The kitchen is very well equipped and great to cook and eat in. We had not been to Saumur before and found it charming and well located for many of the sites in that part of the Loire. I would gladly stay there again.

A wonderful base for seeing the beauties of the Loire Valley

We were a group of 8, and the house was more than adequate in size and facilities to accommodate us. The indoor pool and the games room were excellent added features. An well-appointed kitchen meant we could cook several of our meals in the house. The closeness to all amenities (restaurants, bars, cafes, butcher, supermarket, boulangeries, etc) made everything easy to access. Also, a great Saturday morning market for excellent fresh produce. Gilles, our host was excellent, and always on hand if we needed any assistance. It was nice on occasion that he would accept our invitation to have a glass of wine together. We cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful experience we had at the property, and can certainly recommend it highly.

Très bon séjour en famille

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille dans cette magnifique maison, à l'occasion du pont de l'Ascension. Il s'agit d'une maison familiale, pratique et faite pour accueillir les enfants. Le propriétaire, Gilles, est particulièrement réactif, pour résoudre tout les petits pbs. La maison est particulièrement bien située, en plein de coeur de la ville, à proximité immédiate des commerces et restaurants, et avec un très agréable petit jardin. Les enfants (et les grands!) ont beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la salle de jeux, avec billard et baby-foot. Nous gardons tous de merveilleux souvenirs de ce week end prolongé.
