About this house rental
Old house in the heart of a charming village on the edge of two forests: the forest of Chandelais oaks, over a thousand hectares, and the vast pine forest of Monnaie with a Mediterranean atmosphere. These two forests offer hours of hiking on marked trails on foot, by bike (available at the gîte) or on horseback.
What joy in the morning to get croissants and fresh baguettes at the bakery 20 meters from the cottage! What a pleasure for the taste buds to taste, for lunch, the simple and country cuisine of the restaurant Le Brocard on the place des tilleuls. What a peace to stop in the modest 12th century church (labeled welcoming church of Anjou) and what a delight, in the setting sun, to walk towards the pond with its old classified wash-house and its wheel mill.
A week of rest far from the hectic and polluted world of the metropolises. (But without neglecting the practical aspect, 7km from a small provincial town, Baugé, with its shops including a supermarket and its medical center (doctor, dentist, pharmacy ...)
Fully renovated gîte.
Sleeps (6):
Upstairs, bedroom with a double bed, bedroom with two single beds, bathroom.
On the ground floor, in the living room, two-seater convertible sofa (high-end, daily use, instantaneous opening rapido system), adjoining and private bathroom (this sleeping is independent because the occupants of the floor can access the kitchen, to the veranda and exit without crossing the living room).
Living rooms:
The living room has an insert with retractable window option offering the charm of an old-fashioned fireplace, a quality piano and a dining area for up to eight people.
The fully equipped kitchen is independent
The veranda with its board game buffet, its leather sofas / lounge opens onto an outdoor dining area.
You will be able to benefit from a second garden furniture, shaded overhanging, in its green setting, the swimming pool of 8m x 4m, heated from mid-May to the end of September! Multiple leisure activities on the property: boules, badminton, mini football goal, table tennis ... a chalet dedicated to children and a small house for the little ones. Next to the pool, a room for changing, with rowing machine and exercise bike.
The swimming pool is entirely reserved for you until midnight, lit pool, with the exception of 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Thursday for owners.
Our nearby accommodation will provide discreet support for all your questions (we are bilingual English).

The property was quirky with low doorways and some low beams, but was a lovely getaway.
The highlight was definitely the heated pool. It was lovely on a hot day and as it was heated we were able to stay in it for hours at a time.
There's plenty of space on the property with several seating areas.
The hosts were marvellous, always there to help, but at the same time giving us plenty of space.
Highly recommend

Beautifully restored old house in the centre of a small village. The owners are delightful, friendly and welcoming, and made us feel very at home. Beds were comfortable and there is storage everywhere.
Beams are low but cushioned to avoid excessive injury.
Showers and bathroom facilities are tucked into small spaces but very good showers especially, plenty of hot water and towels are also supplied.
There are vast numbers of books in English and French
for all ages and tastes. We really enjoyed being able to play the beautiful piano as well. The kitchen/dining is well stocked and there are plenty of tables and chairs for eating in and outside.
There is a large garden with boules pitch, a beautiful heated outdoor pool with loungers, fenced off and surrounded by trees, really lovely, and we had the added delight of making friends with the family dog, a gorgeous corgi who visited us as often as he was allowed, mainly hoping for food and attention!
The house is almost opposite the village boulangerie and the café in the square does very good meals for not much money. We loved staying here!

We loved everything about this little house, and are so happy we found it for our recent family holiday. Yan and Therese are wonderful hosts, and were very helpful both before and during our stay. They live next door and are often around to say a cheery hello, but it never feels like an imposition at all. We also fell in love with their beautiful dog!
The cottage itself is adorable and very "quirky" (be careful if you are tall and broad like my husband, you may find the upstairs bathroom a challenge! Although this wasn't a problem as there's also a very nice downstairs shower room.) It is a very old, cosy and unique property, and feels very much like a home with its abundance of books and games. The kitchen is extremely well equipped - you will have everything you need!
The pool area really is fantastic, a joy for both adults and children, and like the house is spotlessly clean. We didn't use the garden, but could see that it is very well equipped for younger children. It is also very peaceful and secluded - you can't see any houses from the pool, just beautiful trees and plants. It's lovely that you are allowed to use the pool at night - we did so several times and loved listening to the bats and watching the stars, it was very special.
There is a good selections of bikes of different sizes provided, and we spent time exploring the local forest one morning, which was very easy and enjoyable.
The village is small and very pretty. Sadly the restaurant is closed the second half of August, which was disappointing as we love to eat out locally. However, there are other places to eat nearby (we would recommend Les Voyageurs in Beaufort en Vallee in particular - lovely simple home cooked food and great service).
Locally we visited Saumur and Bauge, and also did a day trip to the fabulous Chateau de Chenonceau. We would also really recommend the extraordinary Chateau de Breze just the other side of the river Loire, with its vast underground tunnels - the children loved it. We were going to spend a day at the nearby lake at Les Fermiers as it has an inflatable water park and is only 20 mins away, but didn't get around to it as we loved just spending time by the pool.
We would definitely return to this charming house, and probably pack a lot less things as it is so well equipped! We would recommend it for families with children of all ages, or a romantic getaway for a couple.

This gite was just wonderful. The gite it's comfy and we'll equiped and the pool is just great. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is wonderful and it's with in easy driving from some of the best places. I recommend Le fleche for the lake beach and the zoo. Also it was great to just be able to cycle around the local area and woods. A truly relaxing holiday 😁😁😁😁
