Superb Saumur Property

We stayed here for 4 nights after 4 days cycling along the Loire river. The apartment, over 2 floors, was simply stunning. Amazing views of the Chateau and also of the river and full of interesting stuff. Myself, my 2 brothers and partners had a really relaxing time with the apartment as a fabulous base. I cannot recommend this place enough. The Host, Giles & his wife werereally lovely and on had if needed.

An unforgettable stay

This is the most amazing apartment right in the historic centre of Saumur. The views from the property are breath-taking: the magnificent Castle, the imposing St.Peter's Church, Loire River the spires of Saumur, the Bridge - all these you can see through the windows!. The flat itself is enormous - it occupies the entire attic space of a 19th c. house, parts of which date from 17th century. The main eating/sitting area under the eaves is vast and spacious, hung with ancient tapestries. Some furniture dates from 17th century! This apartment will appeal to artistic, creative and historically-minded types. It's full of antique furniture and interesting historic objects. It has unprecedented views over the historic centre. But don't expect sterileness and smooth-rolling mechanisms of the Ikea furniture, for there is none! :-) Instead, you will find the ancient sculptures of Saints and Madonnas in the bedrooms, bronze horses (the homage to Saumur's equestrian heritage), antique oak chests, wooden masks, collection of bronze keys and other curiosities, and lots of books on Saumur history. It's an absolutely fascinating place to stay. But it IS a historic apartment, with creaking floors and old-fashioned key-locks, - so if you are into modern minimalism and card-reading locks - the apartment is not for you! :-)) For us (an artist and an architect), it was absolute delight and perfection! :-) Many thanks to the Owner, Gilles, who responded to every query and request instantly and was very helpful with recommendations for the local restaurants. Try Bistrot de la Place and Le Pot de Lapin! The location of the flat is so great, that you can be in the centre of operation in about 2-3 minutes. Re: Covid 19. I am on the Shielded List for medical reasons and had to be extremely careful. I must say, I was impressed that ALL waiters wear masks at all times - inside and outside; and (as per today - August 2020) you must wear a mask inside of any public place like a shop, a restaurant or a historic Chateau. But if you are sitting outside, it's up to you. Covid19 is an air-born disease, so the biggest danger is inside of the crowded poorly-ventilated spaces. If you are sitting at a table outside, the risk is very, very small. There are hand sanitisers everywhere and generally speaking, I think that awareness about Coronavirus is very high. So I felt safe there. On the whole, it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. We'll definitely come again!

Ideally situated near Saumur chateau

A very comfortable apartment with plenty of space for the five of us in our party. The views of the nearby chateau are quite amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept very well. The showers were excellent as was the heating - our visit being in December, the temperature outside rather cold but we were all kept very cosy.

A very special apartment

We loved this 'boutique' apartment. The interior is amazing - the artefacts which adorn the apartment make it feel unique and there is a real sense of history to the place which seems fitting when you are looking up at the beautiful Saumur Chateau. The full length windows mean that you have a sense of the outdoors and it was lovely to have so many plants around, which is unusual in a holiday rental. We found Gilles a very kind and attentive host and it was great to see him out and about around Saumur too! Saumur is a wonderful town - and the location of the apartment means that you are right at the centre of city and riverside life. It is extremely handy for bike hire and also not too far away from kayak rental. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Saumur.

A really amazing flat. Incredible views!

Beautifully decorated and furnished inside with fantastic views of the chateau, river and rooftops. Very spacious - 5 bedrooms and great location in the centre of the old town but also you were in the countryside within two minute's cycle. Saumur is a lovely town and the area has a great deal to offer. Gilles, the owner, is very friendly and helpful.

Very enjoyable stay

A fantastic house full of interesting and beautiful furniture and ornaments. Adequate kitchen if you want to cook (using fresh ingredients from the nearby shops), superb view of the chateau and river. Great restaurants and shops in the town. Plenty to do in town and surrounding area. We arrived by bike and there's plenty of room to store them out of site and secure (bike shop next door too). Friendly service from the owner.

Three weeks of delight

We had a very relaxing 3 weeks' vacation. The apartment was fantastic. We had everything we needed. Gilles was always available and attentive to our needs. The apartment is beautiful and the views are fantastic. We loved Saumur and also took day trips to area castles and other sites. We ate at great restaurants in Saumur and loved shopping at the Saturday market. We would certainly go back!

Travel France

There were 5 of us visiting for a visit to the Loire Valley before Paris. The place was fantastic; it was like living in a castle. It was beautiful and comfortable. It was a great base for visiting wineries and chateaus. I didn’t get to meet our host as he was away on business, but he stayed in contact and his wife was lovely to work with. There are stairs involved but this is Europe and there are stairs everywhere. I would go back there if I ever return.

Un lugar para no olvidar!!

Hemos pasado 4 noches en familia en una casa excepcional. Bien situada, con maravillosas vistas y un salón con chimenea donde compartir desayunos, cenas y juegos. Nuestros hijos estuvieron en unas habitaciones magníficas en la planta inferior y nosotros muy bien en la de arriba que tiene una magnífica vista sobre el Loira. Tiene ascensor hasta la planta alta así que no hay problema ninguno. Será difícil olvidar estos días en Saumur. El propietario muy atento en todo momento . Enhorabuena Gilles por tener un patrimonio tan bonito . Ojalá que todos los que pasen por ahí lo sepan ver y respetar. Recomendable al máximo!!

Unieke ervaring

Het was heerlijk. Prachtige lokatie. Fantastisch uitzicht. Alles om de hoek. Fietsverhuur, terassen, winkels, gratis parkeren langs de kade aan de overkant. Heerlijke wijnen en proeverijen. Mooie historische omgeving met leerzame momenten. Helaas geen zwembad dichtbij en geen mogelijkheid om in de Loire te zwemmen. Doordat we geen kleine kinderen bij ons hadden was dit geen groot gemis. Voor ons was het Frankrijk zo als je zoekt. Fantastique!

Wonderful location in historical building

Very close to lovely old Saumur town center, grocery shopping and sites. Comfortable beds. We liked the authentic tapestries, exposed wood beams and other touches that remind you of the history that surrounds you in this place. Kitchen space and appliances including clothes washer worked well for us. The host Gilles was “très agréable”! For travelers accustomed to easy conveniences there were some adjustments. Full length mirrors would have been helpful as well as a place to be able to sit and use a hair dryer with nearby electrical outlet. Air conditioning was present and worked well in many areas but not as well in a few others. Parking was a challenge at times although some of our stay was over a major holiday weekend. However, for us all of these challenges were offset by things like the beautiful views, the ambiance, the location and the general comfort and space of this place. We would definitely book again and say thank you Gilles so much for your kindness and patience!

Fantastic apartment and location / appartement et situation incroyables

The apartment is unforgettable and the photos hardly do it justice. The location is unbeatable: you are a couple of minutes' walk from the pedestrianised shopping area and overlooking the river. The living room has stunning views both of the chateau and of the Loire; the bedrooms have a wonderful view of the river. But at least as impressive as the location is the interior itself. The apartment includes an incredible selection of sculptures, tapestries and furniture from the 15th century onwards (some possibly earlier!) which give it a unique ambience. It is comfortably furnished with lots of nooks and crannies for sitting and reading and enjoying the view. The apartment is a duplex, occupying the top two floors (3rd and 4th) of the building. Three of the bedrooms (including the beautiful master bedroom) are on the lower floor, and the upper floor houses two more bedrooms, the living area and a small kitchen. There's a slightly steep staircase between floors, and also (a godsend for us) a lift (the lift entrance on the 4th floor is a private one within the apartment, but on the 3rd floor, the lift entrance is on the landing outside the apartment). With the incredible artwork and the staircase, I might think twice if we had very young children, but our 12-year-olds loved the apartment (as did we) and are already talking about returning next year (as are we). There is short-term (paid) public parking directly outside the apartment, and free parking a bit further away, but if you walk round the corner to the Police Municipale office, €30 gets you a parking pass for the current calendar month allowing you to park in any paid public parking in the city. Monsieur Gros was a very solicitous host only a phone call away, sorting out a small problem with the lock on the building's main door very quickly, and Madame Charles was enthusiastic and helpful in welcoming us to the apartment and in seeing us off. All in all, we couldn't recommend this apartment highly enough. We loved Saumur and plan to return next year, and we certainly plan to return to this apartment.
