Photos and Description of the Maine-et-Loire vacation cottage rental 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 separate shower; sleeps up to 6

A delightful two-bedroomed cottage with a private terrace built into the side of a hill, in the tranquil village of Passavant, just South of the Loire River, near Saumur. It has a wonderful view of a Norman castle immediately opposite and looks out on the peaceful, rolling Layon Valley, surrounded by vineyards. Châteaux, historic towns and markets provide plenty of interest. The area also offers walking and cycling countryside. Saumur, Angers and (a bit further afield) Nantes and Tours offer shopping and tourist sites and major castles such as Chenonceau, Amboise and Azay le Rideau are within easy driving distance. The cottage has two good-sized bedrooms, sleeping up to 6 comfortably. The ground floor is open plan and has all modern kitchen appliances as well as comfy seating and television with integral DVD. We encourage changeover on Tuesdays in high season to take advantage of cheaper ferry and airfares but talk to us if you have a problem.

5 out of 5

It was really charmed

Melissa G Teaneck, NJ
Review Submitted: April 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Now, 2 years later, I realize this was one of the better vacation rental experiences. We sat outside in late evening light, eating dinner from the kitchen, drinking a good local wine, and the vineyards & pasture stretched out under us where far away some cows were let out to graze. I didn't know cows could look so good. In the castle across the way birds were in and out making their rest for the night. The couple that owns it were charming and kind, without being intrusive. It was well located, we could get to wineries or a Michelin starred restaurant in less than an hour. We didn't get much time to walk around, but when we did it was lovely around the castle. Quiet, quaint, well situated and picturesque. Practicals like bathroom, washer/dryer, heater worked well, it was all good.
