Charm and comfort in the middle of the vineyards

The property was lovely with a lovely open plan living area, two comfortable bedrooms with en-suites and a fantastic indoor swimming pool. The pictures of the swimming pool do not it justice as it is larger in person and while it is an indoor pool, with the large glass windows and doors that open onto the sunny terrace it feels just like an outdoor pool. The property is surrounded by horse paddocks and vineyards with a lovely view of the sun setting in the evenings. While there is not much in Liré or Ancenis, the property is within easy driving distance of Nantes and Angers and just over a hour from the Atlantic coast, so plenty to see and do. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully go back.

We enjoyed our stay in Oree D'anjou tremendously (July 2026). The gite and surrounding space was perfect for the two of us and our dog. I would say the photographs don't really do the accommodation justice. Everything was clean and everything was efficient. Laurence and Marie-Odile took care of us. We particularly enjoyed how relaxed things were: no fuss and no unnecessary rules. We were free to wander around the estate - which is significant, through the vineyards, the park and fields. The animals were a joy to watch and to interact with. There are several good dog walks in the immediate vicinity. The pool was especially welcoming in the hot weather. Only negative - I think the property is advertised with a car port, which is a barn. Unless you don't mind pigeon droppings on your car, avoid parking there.

Great little Gite. We stayed ok the hottest period in June 2026 and were so grateful for the wonderful pool.Laurence was quick to reply to all our questions, including buying an additional fan for us.We liked it so much that we are turning next year.

After braking down on the way there, Lancashire our hostess sorted all our ongoing travel arrangements. The property is amazing and just far enough from the shops to be very convenient but also quiet. Our hosts couldn't have been any better and I'd recommend staying here 190%. Many thanks Laurence.

Absolutely a gem to find. Great area available especially for the dogs. Owner and contact excellent. Literally on site. We had both rain and dry days but got out and about locally as well. Log fire used again plenty of wood available. You can walk all around the vineyard to the nearest town but of note you have to go down to the bottom of valley and then back up so lots of hill walks but worth the view.Inside Pool used couple times. There are other properties in the same place so you are totally separate but all friendly and come to sort the horses and donkeys out in the field adjacent which is a wonderful thing to have for your morning wake up. Good kitchen, induction took a while to understand it but good. Maybe could provide an air fryer in time not essential but helpful for other guests as we all seem to use them. Oh of note there’s a hidden drawer in the main kitchen drawer for the cutlery we had fun trying to find them lol Washing machine in french but Google lens a great help. Fantastic walk in showers plenty hot water available. We’ve had a wonderful 2 weeks in Laurence & Arnaud wonderful Gîte and have booked for next year. Contact us brilliant via Vrbo, email and phoneDefinitely recommend

We have had a really nice week. Me and my partner and our two dogs. The fireplace was a real bonus. There was a spacious kitchen with all the facilities and plenty of dishes; we didn’t miss anything. It was a beautiful property where you could enjoy lovely walks. From the house, you could see the horses and donkeys.

We were greeted by the next door neighbour who deputises for Mme De Lamothe if she is away temporarily. She gave us a very thorough tour of the property and explained how everything worked. The property is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. When we tried it the pool was at the perfect temperature and the beds were very comfortable. There was no problem having the dog there and she enjoyed her walks near the property. The outstanding feature of the gite were the 2 bathrooms which were magnificent, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to meet and chat with Mme De Lamoth. The nearby town of Ancenis is 10 mins away and boasts a brand new Leclerc supermarket chock full of delicious food. Do not forget to get some carrots as treats for the donkeys and ponies in the field next to the gite. We can't wait to go back.

Beautiful location, definitely a place to unwind, pool was fabulous and the hosts were extremely accommodating and always on hand if there’s an issue, would definitely stay there again

A wonderful gite in the middle of the Loire Valley. Daily swimming, breakfast on the patio watching the chickens and horses grazing in the fields.Super days out to Terra Botanica near Angers and Nantes has so much to see if you follow the green tourist line round the town. Ancenis had some great little restaurants too. Many thanks to Marie for welcoming us and being patient with me practising my French. Thank you also to Laurence who made us feel very welcome. We will be back soon. Thank you Best wishes Kevin and Carolyne

I read another review which called this place a hidden gem. This couldn’t be more true, in fact that name under sells this wonderful and peaceful home deep in the Loire Valley. Your host is very welcoming and makes things very easy. The accommodation is outstanding. Try to keep it a secret though!
