Gîte Le Flamboyant Montreuil Bellay

This was our first trip to the Loire Valley and we chose this place based on the photos and description of the apartment. What we did not realize is that it's a bit far from many of the places we wanted to see and during the days we were there, which were a Sunday - Tuesday, many restaurants are closed, so not many dining options. We ended up cooking for ourselves one night. The other item not apparent from the pictures and description is that the outdoor area, which is very nice, is not on the same level as the apartment. The patio is on the ground floor, then there is a tight spiral staircase up to the living, dining, and kitchen area. Then another spiral staircase up to the bedrooms. So you just need to be aware of this when it comes to hauling luggage upstairs. The beds and furniture was comfortable. But there were not any bath towels available. We were provided extra hand towels for this reason and the towels are not very thick or soft.

Perfect Gite for our stay to enjoy the local town and surrounding areas. Air con and sweep fans in the bedrooms were perfect as the weather during our stay hit the high 30 degree range. Outdoor seating and BBQ area was private and shaded. The Gite was fully equipped and our hoists were very helpful in advice on local attractions and any query we had.

Old town house with high ceilings in the lounge and dining room. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of pans, crockery and cutlery. All the rooms are beautifully decorated (I wish she could come and do my house!!). The airco was a godsend in the bedrooms (we didn’t use it in the lounge). A couple of minutes walk from the castle one way and also from a Super U supermarket in the other. Picturesque old town. The owners were very friendly and provided information on our arrival but otherwise left us in peace. The stairs give you good exercise. I would definitely come again. A real find.

Lovely gite in centre of Montreuil-Bellay with easy parking. Well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, and great outside eating area. Boulangerie and butchers in same road. Large Super U five minutes walk away. Castle and river only ten minutes walk away. Central location for lots of major sites. Highly recommended.

Weekend très agréable dans ce gîte bien équipé et décoré avec beaucoup de charme. L gîte est idéalement situé pour visiter le château et profiter du charme du centre de Montreuil Bellay. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour

Le gîte est très agréable, chaleureux, bien équipé, calme, confortable, soigné, élégant, nous y avons passé un excellent séjour un peu comme chez soi, entre amis environnement riche et divers, besoin d’y revenir pour explorer et savourer encore

A very pleasant few days in Montrueil-Bellay. The property was well equipped and pleasantly furnished. Martine is very pleasant, helpful and responded quickly to any queries. Shame about the number of restaurants that were closed - meant that eating out was challenging!

Warm and friendly welcome from Martine. Typical French Town House, renovated and impeccably clean. Air con was a godsend in the bedrooms. Lovely little yard area with plenty of shade. I would mention that the staircases are a bit steep but you get used to them. Quiet village - very pretty down by the river with stunning chateau. A smattering of restos and bars. Large Super U a short walk from gite. Perfectly situated for exploring the region, Chinon, Saumur, Angers etc. If needed Martine and Franck are just a text message away. No hesitation in recommending this comfortable gite and friendly, attentive owners.
