Wonderful old house full of character with views of the Loire
This house has an excellent location in Montsoreau and has very nice views of the Loire river from the upper floors.
It's perfect for exploring the area West of Tours around Saumur and is easily accessible to Angers as well as chateaus such as Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau. We didn't have our bicycles and wish we had but the local walking through vineyards is still phenomenal.
The bottom floor doesn't have any view but has an excellent and very usable kitchen that is well kitted out as well as a comfortable sitting area. We made some nice meals there.
We chose to sleep on the 2nd floor over the courtyard.
The bed was very comfortable.
All the bathrooms very clean with good hot water and we enjoyed the bath.
The separate courtyard and upper garden entrances were very nice to have and we had lunch in the garden one day looking over the river.
Parking is private, behind an automatic gate but access can be a bit tricky via a very tight lane.
We were greeted by a charming young lady named Laure, who was very helpful and gave a good recommendation for wine tasting in Parnay. There was an issue with the oven not having been cleaned but she addressed it very quickly.
Our recommendations: the Sunday market in Montsoreau has a good fish stall. The boulangerie in Varennes-sur-Loire. Wine tasting at Château de Parnay's caveau de dégustation. The Apocalypse Tapestry in Angers. Abbaye Fontevraud. Walking/cycling among the local vineyards. Azay-le-Rideau. Villandry.
