Property was stunning, from the outside the gite looks pretty and typically 'French'. The inside is beautiful renovated to a very high standard, well equipped with lots of individual touches. Large rambling garden. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Case. The hosts were welcoming and helpful and the quince jam they gave us as a welcome gift was delicious. We had a couple of rainy days but the open plan living/kitchen/dining area is so light and spacious that staying indoors was a pleasure. The deck is perfectly positioned to catch the sunshine from morning to evening. The garden itself is enormous - we found new corners and hidden treasures every day and spent hours wandering in the neighbouring woods. (It isn't fenced off from the road or sheds though so if like us you have a dog that likes to explore you'll need to keep a close eye on them!) We loved every moment of our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again the next time.

the house lies peacefully within their beautiful garden and was itself a wonderful surprise as the photographs do not begin to do it justice. we were welcomed by madame heurtevin with a jar of her homemade quince jelly. they were kind and hospitable and we are thinking of hopefully returning soon to enjoy more of the countryside and local restaurants. it was a particular godsend to myself as they were able to turn off their router and i was able to enjoy a restful time without wifi to which i am allergic.

A fantastic property in a great location with superb hosts in Pascal and Huguette ??!!....sorry but you did acknowledge that it was an unusual name!! We stumbled upon this beauty of a holiday destination by chance and feel so lucky that we did. There were only the two of us but the property caters for at least another 2 adults and a baby/toddler. Extremely spacious and well equipped with the added bonus of seeing wild deer roaming in the extensive garden. Cannot fault anything about this cottage but do make sure that you get Pascal's WiFi password then be prepared to stand in the garden or on the decking for your reception! But who needs internet connections when the aim is to get away from it all. Lots of lovely minor French roads to get about as well as major highways to access the larger towns/cities like Nantes (Les Machines, Cathedral, Chateau and much more) and Angers (Chateau and old town buildings and much more). We found satnav a must for getting about but this was our first driving visit to France so others may be more able. Too many places to mention including the above but the slightly larger towns are all well equipped with supermarkets and fuel stations as well as churches, chateaux by the bucket load and a slower pace of life. Rural walks from the doorstep or further afield. Remember that most places will be shut from about 12.30-14.30 or beyond so plan ahead. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending a stay here. Merci Beaucoup P and H
