La Croix feels like home as you walk in the door.

Comfortable and spacious with lots of character and all the modern facilities you can want. Superfast fibre free Wifi as well as excellent 4G/5G.

As you walk in the front door the lounge oozes character with its stunning fireplace with log burner. The lounge is equipped with TV, Bluetooth speaker, DVD, CD and Wii games console - everything there to keep children happy whilst you relax.

The downstairs shower room is a standout feature with its walk in rainfall shower.

All 3 bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and all have room for a cot if required.

We love the peace, quiet and relaxation that the area surrounding the house provides. It really is a great place to get away from it all but also a great location from which to explore all the attractions of the Loire Valley.

It is located on the edge of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Natural Park and forest and only 25 minutes drive from Saumur and 20 minutes from the vineyards of Bourgueil.

Spacious, comfortable cottage with lovely garden
Even better than the pictures! It was much more spacious than we were expecting, really well equipped and a lovely peaceful location. Comfortable beds and sitting area. I loved the garden, nicely planted and lots of different areas to sit in at different times of the day. Plenty of things to do near Saumur, and if you are prepared to travel a bit further in the opposite direction - a whole host of chateau's and gardens to explore.

Fantastic house in a lovely area
We spent a lovely week here at the end of July. We enjoyed walking, cycling, canoeing and paddleboarding as well as visits to Saumur and Chinon. The house is fantastic, very well equipped in a peaceful location. We especially enjoyed the table tennis table and boules in the garden!

Last minute break
We have just spent a wonderful week in this beautifully renovated cottage. Very spacious and full of character, whilst retaining the charm of the cottage, all modern amenities are at hand. Located in amongst the local fruit farms and forests of the area we loved plotting our destination for the next day, enjoying our aperitif in the garden , watching the sun set. We were never short of somewhere to explore with Chateaux, markets and lovely little towns in abundance,all within very reasonable drive times. Due to work commitments we needed to book somewhere from Friday to Friday and this was no problem, Louise was extremely accommodating and all my communications and concerns were dealt with immediately. We would highly recommend LaCroix, it gave us everything we hoped for and more. Thank you Louise and Peter.

A fabulous location and well appointed gite. Superb holiday in a tranquil and stunning setting
A brilliant stay made all the more special by sharing it with the hosts and very good friends, Pete & Louise. Their gite is simply stunning; well presented, very well equipped and set in the most idyllic of surroundings within the Loire Valley and within easy reach of the more popular tourist areas. Great holiday - thank you both.

A fortnight in ideal surroundings
The experience we had was more than we expected. Everything in the Gite was there including English TV programmes. The garden was atmospheric with the abundance of lavender which encouraged all manner of bees and butterflies. The weather was exceptional which in the S France broke the temperature record. The surrounding villages were an architectural delight and the wild life include buzzards, hares, turtledoves and badgers. All in all an amazing experience.

Peace and quiet
Lovely house in a beautiful, peaceful location Very well equipped everywhere apart from the garden chairs which were broken so not enough for all 6 of us to sit and eat outside. A brilliant location for visiting chateaux, swimming lakes and wine-tasting at the caves in Saumur. Darren gave really useful information and recommendations for visits in the local area.

Lovely relaxing break in the Loire countryside. La Croix is comfortable, spacious & well located.
A fantastic renovation keeping the old character yet providing modern amenities. As soon as we arrived we felt at home and relaxed. A great place to get away from it all!! The lazy days sat on the patio looking out over wheat and sunflower fields were perfect. Lovely visits to Saumur, Bourgueil and Plan d’eau de Hommes made for a great holiday. Thank you - we will return!

Wonderful place!
Just spent several days here. Can’t praise it enough. Perfect for families and / or those couples wanting to escape. Set in the Loire there is plenty to see and do close by while the cottage is set in tranquil and beautiful countryside. The interior is clean, modern and lacks for nothing without losing that ‘French countryside cottage feel’. Speak to the owners! - this place is worth a stay. Recommended 100%. I’ll definately be going again (...and again).

Gite très agreable
Le gîte est très joli, très bien situé, au calme, en pleine campagne et permettant de rayonner dans la région pour de belles visites. Un petit bemol toutefois concernant la télévision qui ne capte que les chaînes anglaises, un peu frustrant en pleine période de JO ;-)

Prima woning in (te) rustige omgeving
Karakteristieke ruime woning in rustige omgeving op het platteland. Helaas niet veel te beleven in de omgeving (zeker niet voor kinderen). Woning van alles voorzien. Bovenetage wel heel erg warm bij buitentemp boven de 25 graden. Woning schoon opgeleverd (behalve inventaris keuken). Prettige, snelle en adequate communicatie met eigenaar. PS WIFI verbinding te traag/ instabiel om er iets nuttigs mee te kunnen doen.

Comfortable gite
La Croix was a comfortable and cosy gite with a beautiful garden. You can live the love and dedication that went into the restauration of this Gite. The weather wasn’t the best - like in most places in Europe - but the close vicinity of chateaux, towns at the WII made for a great week!
