Beautiful Apartment

Gilles's apartment is every bit as beautiful as the photos suggest. It is right in the heart of lovely Saumur. Our whole family was grateful and enchanted by both the town and the apartment; and the accommodations were practically convenient as well as charming. Mme Charles, the property manager, was very helpful.

Three weeks of delight

We had a very relaxing 3 weeks' vacation. The apartment was fantastic. We had everything we needed. Gilles was always available and attentive to our needs. The apartment is beautiful and the views are fantastic. We loved Saumur and also took day trips to area castles and other sites. We ate at great restaurants in Saumur and loved shopping at the Saturday market. We would certainly go back!

All in one, with unmatched views

Cook, wash clothes, work, watch TV or just use the place to sleep, wash and store your belongings as you enjoy the streets of Saumur or the Val de Loire.The apartments are spacious, full of charm and offer everything a tourist needs - far more than most need.Parking is plentiful nearby, if one persists in looking - should never need to park more than a minute walk from the property.We were well supported through the process by our host. I am sure, had we needed more advice or support during our stay, it would have been offered as freely and gladly as all that was provided to us.Great spot, full of charm and quirkiness.

Travel France

There were 5 of us visiting for a visit to the Loire Valley before Paris. The place was fantastic; it was like living in a castle. It was beautiful and comfortable. It was a great base for visiting wineries and chateaus. I didn’t get to meet our host as he was away on business, but he stayed in contact and his wife was lovely to work with. There are stairs involved but this is Europe and there are stairs everywhere. I would go back there if I ever return.

Spectacular property

We loved the property. The 2 floors are very spacious with the common areas full of stunning antiques. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The view of the Saumur Chateau is breathtaking. It is in town, so you can walk to resturants, shops, markets, wine caves, museums as well as the chateau. Mr. Gillies was very helpful making sure we had what we needed and very quick and thorough will all communication. We would stay there again if in the area. We had a wonderful 2 weeks.

Magnificent property, sublime location, charming host

What a place! We enjoyed an unforgettable 10 days in this beautiful place. The position is unbeatable, overlooking the Loire, with postcard views from every window. The chateau perched above made us feel like we were living in a fairytale - we could not stop taking photos!The apartment is spread over the two top floors of a historical building, with a lift for baggage. It is full of quirks and character, with a rambling layout presenting plenty of spaces for socializing or sitting in quiet solitude. This is no bland vacation rental: every room is furnished with original features and antique objects which rivalled those we saw in the local chateaux and museums. We felt privileged to be entrusted with such exquisite surrounds.Saumur itself is delightful; a perfect size and location to enjoy the best of the Loire, with plenty of excellent restaurants within a few steps, wineries and distilleries to visit, and wonderful shopping.Our host Gilles was attentive, responsive and eager to help, with a warm delight at our appreciation of his magnificent place.For anyone seeking an authentic and refined Loire experience, we thoroughly recommend this gem.

Wonderful location in historical building

Very close to lovely old Saumur town center, grocery shopping and sites. Comfortable beds. We liked the authentic tapestries, exposed wood beams and other touches that remind you of the history that surrounds you in this place. Kitchen space and appliances including clothes washer worked well for us. The host Gilles was “très agréable”! For travelers accustomed to easy conveniences there were some adjustments. Full length mirrors would have been helpful as well as a place to be able to sit and use a hair dryer with nearby electrical outlet. Air conditioning was present and worked well in many areas but not as well in a few others. Parking was a challenge at times although some of our stay was over a major holiday weekend. However, for us all of these challenges were offset by things like the beautiful views, the ambiance, the location and the general comfort and space of this place. We would definitely book again and say thank you Gilles so much for your kindness and patience!

Un lugar para no olvidar!!

Hemos pasado 4 noches en familia en una casa excepcional. Bien situada, con maravillosas vistas y un salón con chimenea donde compartir desayunos, cenas y juegos. Nuestros hijos estuvieron en unas habitaciones magníficas en la planta inferior y nosotros muy bien en la de arriba que tiene una magnífica vista sobre el Loira. Tiene ascensor hasta la planta alta así que no hay problema ninguno. Será difícil olvidar estos días en Saumur. El propietario muy atento en todo momento . Enhorabuena Gilles por tener un patrimonio tan bonito . Ojalá que todos los que pasen por ahí lo sepan ver y respetar. Recomendable al máximo!!

Unieke ervaring

Het was heerlijk. Prachtige lokatie. Fantastisch uitzicht. Alles om de hoek. Fietsverhuur, terassen, winkels, gratis parkeren langs de kade aan de overkant. Heerlijke wijnen en proeverijen. Mooie historische omgeving met leerzame momenten. Helaas geen zwembad dichtbij en geen mogelijkheid om in de Loire te zwemmen. Doordat we geen kleine kinderen bij ons hadden was dit geen groot gemis. Voor ons was het Frankrijk zo als je zoekt. Fantastique!

We stayed here for 4 nights after 4 days cycling along the Loire river. The apartment, over 2 floors, was simply stunning. Amazing views of the Chateau and also of the river and full of interesting stuff. Myself, my 2 brothers and partners had a really relaxing time with the apartment as a fabulous base. I cannot recommend this place enough. The Host, Giles & his wife werereally lovely and on had if needed.

Fantastic apartment and location / appartement et situation incroyables

The apartment is unforgettable and the photos hardly do it justice. The location is unbeatable: you are a couple of minutes' walk from the pedestrianised shopping area and overlooking the river. The living room has stunning views both of the chateau and of the Loire; the bedrooms have a wonderful view of the river. But at least as impressive as the location is the interior itself. The apartment includes an incredible selection of sculptures, tapestries and furniture from the 15th century onwards (some possibly earlier!) which give it a unique ambience. It is comfortably furnished with lots of nooks and crannies for sitting and reading and enjoying the view. The apartment is a duplex, occupying the top two floors (3rd and 4th) of the building. Three of the bedrooms (including the beautiful master bedroom) are on the lower floor, and the upper floor houses two more bedrooms, the living area and a small kitchen. There's a slightly steep staircase between floors, and also (a godsend for us) a lift (the lift entrance on the 4th floor is a private one within the apartment, but on the 3rd floor, the lift entrance is on the landing outside the apartment). With the incredible artwork and the staircase, I might think twice if we had very young children, but our 12-year-olds loved the apartment (as did we) and are already talking about returning next year (as are we). There is short-term (paid) public parking directly outside the apartment, and free parking a bit further away, but if you walk round the corner to the Police Municipale office, €30 gets you a parking pass for the current calendar month allowing you to park in any paid public parking in the city. Monsieur Gros was a very solicitous host only a phone call away, sorting out a small problem with the lock on the building's main door very quickly, and Madame Charles was enthusiastic and helpful in welcoming us to the apartment and in seeing us off. All in all, we couldn't recommend this apartment highly enough. We loved Saumur and plan to return next year, and we certainly plan to return to this apartment.
