Come to the lovely Loire Valley and this elegant, quietly refined townhouse with a pretty garden and restaurants on your doorstep

Originally a cavalry officer's home, this handsome townhouse in charming Saumur is well placed for you to explore the delights of the Loire Valley. Enter through a splendid oak door to be greeted by your attentive hosts in their calm and peaceful home: white walls, tall ceilings, light flooding in through large windows. Bedrooms are traditional and comfortable and overlook the garden.

Start your day in the dining room with a seasonal spread of fruit salad and pastries, homemade jams and cakes prepared by Guylène before strolling into town for riverside walks, independent shops and restaurants or a wander around the medieval castle. Further afield are more magnificent châteaux, wine tasting, troglodyte houses and the lively cities of Tours and Angers.

Return to spend time in the gardens with its fruit trees, shrubs and fragrant flower beds. Enjoy the sun or seek shade under the courtyard with a reviving cup of tea.
