Maison de charme

😊: The house was very comfortable and clean. It felt spacious. The kitchen was well equipped apart from the lack of an oven.The beds were comfortable, and the bedding was very nice.The internal pictures are a true representation. It was very close to the town centre, which really came alive on market day on Tuesday. A bottle of Saumur rose was a lovely welcome gift. Jeanine, the host ( not owner), was very responsive, and one minor issue got immediate attention. Also, we had an EV, and charging in Lidl was so convenient and very cheap!. 😢: I specifically chose the house for a couple of reasons. It had outside space, and it was close to a small town with all the facilities you'd need. The outside space was very scruffy and uninviting. ( see pictures ). There were no pictures in the house details, and this should have been an indication. We'd normally use the space to eat outside, etc, but we never used it at all. I don't think it would take much to transform it. Secondly the town was very disappointing. The majority of bars/ cafes/ restaurants were closed or open irregularly and not when advertised. Places that I'd researched that had served food previously were no longer doing so. Both boulangeries were closed. It could be due the time of year and French people taking their holidays.Thank goodness for Lidl! It has spoilt our affection for France as a holiday destination. There was no toilet upstairs, but the washing machine was up there. I also think it needs to be made clear that the stair case makes the house unsuitable for small children as it was very steep..

😊: The Maison de Charme was well equipped with every kitchen amenity possible. We didn't eat many meals in so did not take advantage of all on offer. The TV remained in the off position! The fans were put to good use with such abnormal high temperatures during both day and night. The location was fine and convenient for the town centre. There were some good cafes and restaurants which we used frequently. The Market on Tuesday was great with plenty to offer. The smaller one on Saturday in Les Halles was also good.. 😢: David (aged 79) had great difficulty with the staircase to reach the upstairs bedrooms and shower. The toilet was located on the ground floor. As he needed to use the toilet at times during the night it was decided that he would sleep on the settee otherwise there could have been an accident! Christine (75) but very fit carried cases etc upstairs. Please note: we have a staircase at home but not as steep and the distance between each step much closer. He had no problems with the staircases on the Brittany Ferry ships or in any of the hotels we stayed in during our stay in France. Finally, we were not really happy having to park our car away from the property but this is not unusual in some of the older towns and villages..

Host was very responsive. Instructions were very clear and the apartment was very clean and well kept.
