Absolut empfehlenswert

Wir haben schon etliche Häuser in Frankreich gemietet. Das Haus von Glyn und John gehört zu den besten. Alles klappte hervorragend. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet mit modernem Charme. Ein richtiges Zuhause! Zum Willkommen stand ein Korb mit Produkten aus der Gegend parat. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Den Innenhof konnten wir leider wegen des Wetters nicht so häufig benutzen. Aber die Polstergruppe im Wohnzimmer hat uns dafür entschädigt. Die geräumigen Schlafzimmer haben beide ein Ensuite-Badezimmer. Im Zwischenstock hat es einen kleinen Wirtschaftsraum mit Waschmaschine und allem Putzmaterial. Alles war SEHR saubet. Sogar der Grill blitzte. Nach einer Woche hat Glyn die Betten neu bezogen und alle Bade-.und Küchentücher ersetzt. Auch das Parkieren beim Château war kein Problem. Wir fanden immer einen Parkplatz. Das Haus liegt ideal. Wir haben jeden Tag in der Umgebung Neues entdecken können. Wir würden mehr als 10 Punkte geben, wenn das möglich wäre. Wir können das Haus nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Tucked away for a cozy stay

We enjoy visiting this area in the late part of autumn. The rain or drizzle or cool days are offset by a wonderful wood-burning fireplace at night. You will enjoy the hospitality of your hosts as you cuddle inside a very beautiful home. We will return again.

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!

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!

¨" Ici le bonheur est fait maison"

"Le Seize" à Montsoreau est un endroit où il fait bon prendre le temps de vivre ! Notre charmante hôtesse Glyn a su magnifiquement donner une âme à sa maison, sérénité, confort, décoration etc.. tout y contribue ! Le patio est un petit endroit fleuri adorable ...et le soir ne pas oublier d' allumer les lumières : une féérie pour les yeux ! Enfin il n' y a que le choix pour se promener et découvrir divers endroits à visiter : Histoire, gastronomie, balade au fil de la Loire, les vignobles, artisanat etc... il y en a pour le goût de chacun car c'est une très belle région ! A conseiller entre autres ; "Les Faluns" site troglodyte, l'Abbaye de Fontevraud , le musée des Blindés à Saumur, "Le Clos Luçé " dernière demeure de Léonard de Vinci .... et "le Monsorelli", à 2 pas du logis, où on peut dîner excellement avec une vue étonnante sur le château de Montsoreau et la Loire ! Alors merci pour tout ... On a qu'une envie c'est d'y revenir ! Bonne continuation, Isabelle

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Glyn Ward

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!
