3500 SQF/HISTORIC HOUSE WITH WARMED POOL IN THE OLD SAUMUR/GREAT VIEWS

Massive thank you to Gilles and his wife for an amazing stay at this property. The photos, whilst accurate, do not do the house justice. It is truly amazing (and huge). We stayed for 2 weeks. Location is perfect, right in the heart of Saumur. Check in was easy and it was lovely to be met at the property and shown around, even when we were much later arriving than anticipated. The house is spotless and has everything you could possibly need. The indoor pool is a rare luxury, considering the location, with the added bonus of a fantastic games room with pool table, pinball and table football. You can never be bored in this house. Communication with Gilles was excellent and he gave great recommendations about what to see in the area. I really can’t rate this house highly enough. I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing, unusual place. Excellent location. Very quiet despite being a few steps away from a lovely square with cafes etc. Good bedrooms, swimming pool and lovely games room. Great to sit in enclosed yard on a warm day. Plenty of space to park cars but quite a challenge to get one in unless very small. You have to reverse in from the narrow street which we were able to do with someone each side watching to make sure we did not hit the walls during the manoeuvre. Some free parking locally which we were able to use a few times which was useful. Gilles (who was very helpful) said you could also take a local season ticket to park elsewhere, if more convenient.

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!

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

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.

Ten days in Saumur We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We couldn’t have been any closer to the main square. It was a good base to explore the chateau’s, vineyards and caves. The swimming pool was lovely. The host was very attentive and helpful
