Right beside the Chateau.
A fascinating property with a history. Fabulous views of the chateau from the bedroom windows and from the courtyard. Right in the centre of Saumur, but had a large heated indoor swimming pool. The extra treat was the pool table and pinball machine. It was easy enough to reverse the cars into the courtyard with practice. It was lovely and convenient for restaurants, the chateau and the bakery. Gilles, our host was at the end of a phone if we needed him. Nicole the housekeeper made us welcome very efficiently and cheerfully. We'd definitely go again.

Fabulous house well located in delightful town
As a group of friends who travel together every year we have been lucky enough to stay in lots of great places over the last 30 years. This house was possibly the best of the lot. An amazing old building full of character and really well equipped, located near the centre of Saumur, the house is very charming. The host, Gilles, was friendly and very helpful , checking everything was going OK and offering assistance if needed. The pool is great and with an underwater view of the old house foundations. The bedrooms are large and have great views of the Chateau and Saumur town. The kitchen is very well equipped and great to cook and eat in. We had not been to Saumur before and found it charming and well located for many of the sites in that part of the Loire. I would gladly stay there again.

A Chateaux in Saumur
More than most properties - Gille’s sprawling 16th, 17th and other centuries place will mould to your wishes. No heated pool for us and the games room remained quiet. But a wonderful maze with parking for only the Le Mans champs ( like myself). Everything is close and walkable.

A wonderful base for seeing the beauties of the Loire Valley
We were a group of 8, and the house was more than adequate in size and facilities to accommodate us. The indoor pool and the games room were excellent added features. An well-appointed kitchen meant we could cook several of our meals in the house. The closeness to all amenities (restaurants, bars, cafes, butcher, supermarket, boulangeries, etc) made everything easy to access. Also, a great Saturday morning market for excellent fresh produce. Gilles, our host was excellent, and always on hand if we needed any assistance. It was nice on occasion that he would accept our invitation to have a glass of wine together. We cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful experience we had at the property, and can certainly recommend it highly.

Historic home in the city center with view of castle!
We are two couples in our 70’s who travel together. We have spent 3 1/2 weeks in France and this was the last week of our trip before we return to the US. After visiting Paris, Normandy and the Dordogne we came to the Loire Valley. Visiting so many historic areas we were pleased to spend our time in this wonderful home. We were in walking distance of the square with many wonderful restaurants and shops. We traveled by car to many of the wonderful and impressive Chateaus. This was the perfect location. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Giles was very attentive to our every need. We have stayed in many VRBO’s around the world and this was definitely one of our favorites!

Perfectly-located, large, comfortable home with historic charm
Our group of 6 truly enjoyed our stay in Gilles' home in Saumur. The home was large enough to accommodate 6 adults, with spaces to congregate, and also enough space to be by yourself when you need it. The location was perfect, right off Place St-Pierre with its restaurants, cafes, and shops, and also with views of Saumur Castle. Gilles was easy to communicate with and always responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

You will have no regrets......
What a fantastic property to stay at! We were a group of nine elderly gentlemen on a weeks cycling holiday & we all agreed the house was perfect for our stay. The property is situated in an excellent location & is full of character. There are numerous rooms, all traditionally finished. The pool was well used after our rides, as was the games room. The courtyard was comfortable & stayed in sun until the late afternoon. Although a little tricky, it was also possible to park three cars comfortably in the courtyard. There is also a single bed we were not aware of. Turn right out of the door & in less than a minute you are in a beautiful square surrounded by bars. Communication with Gilles the owner was was excellent. There are none of our group who would not hesitate to return.

This is a fantastic and unique place to stay
It was fantastic from start to finish. The house itself is beautiful, its facilities exceptional (the pool, the games room, the space , the furniture and decor, I could go on! Gilles the owner was in touch to ensure all was good. The town is just around the corner and is lively and fun to be in the square in the evening. No noise at night at all. I can’t fault this place, the best we’ve ever stayed in.

A week in Saumur
Excellent location for the centre of Saumur and exploring. Plenty of room and amazing period features. Everything we needed was there....plenty of cutlery, plates etc. Pool area is good and plenty of cover in the outside seating area. If you are not comfortable with getting your car into very tight entrances - or have anything bigger than an E class estate - be prepared to park remotely as the access to the parking area is pretty tight.

Truly magical
We all loved our stay and felt so relaxed in this amazing house. Can't beat sitting in the garden in the evening with the illuminated chateau just above you! Or swimming in the heated pool whenever you want. Or sitting chatting in the kitchen with its large table. Or just being somewhere with so much space. The house is in a great location - very quiet but just a minute away from the life of the town. Just perfect. Vanessa met us in the evening after our long journey and was very welcoming, and our host Gilles was in contact during our stay to find out if we had everything we needed. They both were there to say goodbye and made us feel as if we were friends rather than guests.

Wonderdul stay
We spent almost 2 weeks in the fantastic house with plenty of charm and space. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with a great farm table for breakfast and dinners. It has also a lovely garden with a great view of the chateau. In fact many of the rooms have a view of the chateau. The location is unbeatable as the main square St-Pierre is a short distance away. All the restaurants and shops are nearby so that you do not need a car to get around as Saumur is a very walkable town. The indoor pool is quite the luxury. The property owner Gilles was very welcoming and always available to answer any to answer questions we may have even though we never met him. However his innkeeper Madame C. was there to greet us warmly and also available to respond our questions. We highly recommend this house as we spent marvelous days and would gladly return.

Fantastic property full of history with many rooms to explore. Gilles has renovated the property to a very high standard while keeping its original charm. The location was perfect with bars, cafes and the river just a few minutes walk. We met with Gilles and his wife one night by chance and learned more about the history of the building and it’s familiy connection to Gilles which was fascinating. I would truly recommend Saumur and this fantastic property for a memorable stay.
