About this property

Stunning home in the beautiful village of Montsoreau in the Loire Valley. 4 star

Newly restored, this lovely home is located in the village of Montsoreau which is labelled 'one of the most beautiful villages in France'. The house is on three levels with a double en-suite bedroom on the first floor and another en-suite bedroom on the 2nd floor.
There is a large salon with dining area, which leads onto the kitchen. Large doors open onto a small walled courtyard, which is a lovely spot to take your morning breakfast with croissants from one of the best bakeries in the area, just a few minutes walk from Le Seize.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to rustle up a gourmet meal with local ingredients found in the weekly Sunday market. Alternatively, you could try one of the may restaurants in the village minutes away from Le Seize. The village is located on the Loire river where you take a boat trip, go fishing, kayaking, there is even a beach close by for sunbathing. Plenty of places to visit too, you will be spoilt for choice! Saumur is a 15 minute drive with its restaurants, bars and boutiques for a little bit of window shopping. Many famous Chateaux to visit close by. And of course if you like wine this is the best region to enjoy a day or two wine tasting at the many vineyards in the area and to visit the famous sparkling wine houses of Ackerman, Bouvet - Ladubay, Gratien Meyer, Veuve Amiot to name but a few. If you visit the wine cellars of Ackerman as well as wine tasting, don't forget to visit the caves and enjoy the art installations as you wind yourself around the interior of the caves. Close to the medieval town of Chinon, take the opportunity to visit the Thursday morning market and enjoy a glass of wine on the square and watch the world go by.
Welcome gift awaits you with locally produced wine and local produce.

Small well behaved dogs accepted. (1 only please)
Small cleaning fee of 30 euros to be paid on site.

Cleaning service available.

Thank you Roy We are glad you enjoyed your two weeks. We don’t actually find the stairs very steep, a little maybe as this is an old house compared with a new build. Can’t say that anyone else has mentioned this before. I will make sure that this is declared in the details so anyone with mobility issues are aware. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Great Stay in Lovely Montsoreau

My husband and I spent 6 days in Le Seize in late October/early November. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The village of Montsoreau is lovely and well equipped with stores and restaurants. Montsoreau’s location was perfect for day trips to various chateaux and wineries. Le Seize is an excellent home away from home- it is very cozy, quiet and comfortable. Glyn and John have thought of everything!

Great little house in a charming village.

If you are looking a spacious apartment in a quiet storybook village surrounded by art-filled Chateau, with a great patisserie, a thriving Sunday market, great restaurants and vineyards then this is the place for you. The white cliffs/caves and Loire river are also cool. Literally. Super nice and helpful owner.

Beautiful rental

This was our third stay at Le Seize, which is a cosy, comfortable house & it was as good as we remembered. Montsoreau is a lovely spot with an excellent market, butcher and boulangerie/patisserie. There are lots of chateaux, castles and towns within easy reach, or you can just enjoy the shaded courtyard. We had no difficulty in parking our car in the car park by the chateau, a few minutes walk from the house and were able to stop briefly outside for unloading/loading. Highly recommended!

Adorable home in picturesque village

This house was perfect for 2 couples traveling together with both bedrooms having en-suite bathrooms. We loved the private outdoor patio/eating area with the glass doors opening off the kitchen. We cooked breakfast each morning and made some “French” dishes from produce & meats purchased from local markets. We loved this area of France with a great bakery in town and with many nearby beautiful villages, chateaus & castles. Glyn & John were the most helpful hosts, even making dinner suggestions and reservations for us. We would definitely stay here again if we return to this area.

Beautiful gite

Couldn’t fault anything about this beautiful little house and it’s setting in gorgeous Montsoreau. It was all we’d hoped for. Glyn and John couldn’t have been more helpful. I was slightly worried about parking before we came but in fact we found plenty nearby. It was lovely to be within walking distance of several bars and restaurants, but also to have everything we needed to cook at home and enjoy the lovely little walled patio. Would definitely consider coming back. John & Helen

Great house and location. Tight in the middle of a nice village in the Loire.

As per the title. The house is great. Feels really “solid” and tastefully decorated. B straightforward - no deposits or cleaning fees etc so really easy. Reason for 4 stars was that during our stay, much of the village was closed due to long term road and (I think) drainage works. So our experience different from how it would be in the summer when they are finished. But I’d definitely come again which is the main thing.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the house and appreciate your comments. As for the current work that is underway in the village it is a bit unfortunate not to see how very pretty the village is. Although this is phase 3 and the majority of the village has been already finished and restored to its original glory. This is the last phase and we hope that it will be completed as scheduled before mid April. We hope that you can make a return trip and see the village at its best one day.

A perfect place in every way

What a wonderful time we had at le Seize! From the moment of booking, Glyn and John took excellent care of us. The house is utterly charming - situated in a beautiful village on the Loire with its very own impressive chateau. Every comfort is provided to create a cosy, clean and beautifully furnished space. The wood fire was wonderful! Bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you'd wish for, and everything provided in the kitchen to make self-catering a breeze. The property has been renovated and decorated to a very high standard. Parking easily found in the street nearby. We thoroughly recommend this property for an unbeatable base to explore the many marvels of this region. Thank you again to Glyn and John for such a perfect stay!

We loved our stay in Le Seize, Montsoreau. The house is lovely, lots of period detail, finished to a very high standard and really tastefully decorated. Well thought out, comfy beds, all mod cons. Glyn and John could not have been more helpful. Montsoreau is gorgeous, the Sunday market really bustling and great produce, good restaurants. We didn’t know the area but we fell in love with it and there’s masses to do and see. The kids loved the interactive iPads at Chinon castle which brought the place to life. But the highlight was a swim in the river near the stunning Chenonceau chateau. We’ll be back and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Le Seize again

Lovely cottage, great location

On a quiet street minutes from the Loire with 2 village cafes, 6 restaurants, patisserie, etc. and the local chateau within a 10 minute walk. Village is a hidden gem itself close to much of interest yet not overrun (we spent 3 weeks in June). Cottage ground floor has a spacious sitting/dinning room, a modern, compact, kitchen well equipped for short stays, with big pocket doors leading to a small walled terrace with dining and seating, herbs and flowers. Great place for morning coffee and aperitifs. First and second floors each has a spacious and comfortable bedroom suite. It is a sympathetically restored and modernized cottage, tastefully decorated. Easy parking 5 mins away at the Chateau lot along the river. Delightful hosts. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Glyn Ward

Host profile image
Hi, we are John and Glyn, we have been living in France since 1999. We previously had a bed and breakfast and a holiday rental cottage just south of our new property which we successfully run for 12 years. Which earned us high ratings on TripAdvisor and Booking.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to move to a different area and find a smaller property, our previous one was huge! We were lucky to find the house in Montsoreau as it is a much sought after village. It needed a lot of work as everything needed attention. We are very pleased with the result, as it is absolutely charming and in a great location. It works very well for holiday makers, everything is on your doorstep. Great eating places and bars plus all commerce for general everyday living. You really don't need a car, its just perfect!
We live 5kms away in Fontevraud l'Abbaye which is another lovely village and tourist destination. So we are on hand should our guests need us. We know the area very well and can offer good advice on places to visit, of which are many.

What makes this property unique

Located in the very charming village next to the river Loire. Walking distance to another charming village Candes - St - Martin. Lots to see and do. Restaurants and bars on the doorstep, plus a butchers, a bakers, a deli, a small supperet,(small super market) wine cave, wine shop, a spa, tennis courts. Seriously, no need for a car for that relaxing stress free vacation!
