Urlaub Montreuil-Bellay 13.07.-27.07.2024

Wir verbrachten zwei ausgesprochen schöne Urlaubswochen in Montreuil - Bellay und uns hat dieses liebevoll renovierte Häuschen direkt an der Mauer vom Schloß in Montreuil Bellay sehr gut gefallen. Die Terrasse ist richtig gemütlich mit unterschiedlichen Sitzecken und einem imposanten Blick auf das Schloß. Steph und John haben uns tolle Tipps für Veranstaltungen während unserer Urlaubszeit gegeben, die sich sehr gelohnt haben. Vielen Dank für alles

Perfect

Excellent property in a quiet, charming village that quietly revealed more and more delights. The hosts were wonderfully friendly, responsive and helpful. The property is larger and even better than the photos indicate. We were two people and the property was spacious, but would also have accommodated four with ease. The kitchen is well quipped and has good preparation space. It made self catering a pleasure. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms generous in size. The bathrooms were excellent and the central heating and hot water ideal The village is quiet, but well provided for eating and taking enjoying a simple drink Thus makes an excellent holiday home in a beautiful area with easy access to the rest of the Loire, We cannot commend this home and the area enough. Don’t look elsewhere!

A wonderful stay

The house and garden was absolutely fabulous. A warm welcome by the owners Steph and John. Seriously impressed by the beds, wonderful to sink into after a day out. Perfect for mum’s special birthday celebration, a truly beautiful house. We enjoyed the local area including Montsoreau Sunday market and lunch there at ‘Ververt’, Fontevraud abbey and art museum. Chinon Thursday market. A morning in Saumur and found a fav restaurant ‘le cellier’. Ate once in Montreuil bellay at ‘le rencontre’, was really good. Wine tastings, evening times in the garden. A perfect holiday .

Beautiful Loire valley stay

Our stay at Steph's and John's home was perfect. Very authentic French home, it was very clean and shabby chic. Located right in the heart of the old part of town next to a beautiful bakery and great restaurants just across the street. They greeted us personally at our arrival l giving us great tips on restaurants wines and places to visit in the valley. The valley was fantastic many beautiful chateau's and countryside we will definitely come back and experience it again!

Absolutely excellent property with everything thought of and included in the property. Will definitely be recommending to anyone contemplating a visit to this area Initial photos and headlines don't do it justice. The location was first class and so convenient for everything. Montrieuil Bellay is fantastic. The chateau is so special.

Beautiful property in the centre of Montreuil Bellay.

Really enjoyed our stay. So nice being able to walk up to the bakery for morning pastries and to walk to restaurants for meals. The home is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed meals on the terrace and had exceptionally hot weather, so the fans were a god send! Found new places to explore in the area. Stef and John were excellent hosts, communicating well at all times. Thank you! Gareth and Jill

Lovely house in a great setting

We had a lovely stay in this delightful house right in the centre of Montreuil Bellay. The house has been beautifully restored by Steph and John who were very friendly and helpful hosts. It has everything you could need for your stay. The village has a good range of shops and restaurants though like most French villages it’s quiet Monday to Wednesday. The Chateau is lovely and well worth a visit. Definitely recommend this property and hope to return some day

Charming House and the Great Location

We had a great week in Montreuil-Bellay, a superb location for our cycling holiday. The house is charming, beautifully restored, comfortable, and well equipped. Excellent Wi-Fi! We enjoyed evenings in the lovely garden, filled with the scent of roses and lavenders and the view of the castle. Steph and John were very welcoming and helped us unload the car including our bikes. They gave us excellent tips regarding the restaurants, parking, and local and wide area attractions. Communication with Steph throughout the booking process and during our stay was superb. We wish we could have stayed longer and we would love to go back next year.

Thoroughly recommend this property. Steph’s communication throughout the convoluted booking process ( re booked twice due to covid restrictions) was excellent. All you need for a comfortable stay and no hidden extras. The bedding was exceptional. We stayed during a heatwave, had every meal outside, the gas bbq was just the job for easy alfresco eating.

A wonderful week in Montreuil-Bellay

We had a most lovely stay at Steph‘s and John‘s house in Montreuil-Bellay. The very pretty ancient, cosy and well modernized house is located in the middle of the small town and everything is in short reach. It was a pity that we didn‘t meet Steph and John in person for they were very kind and supportive in every situation and a personal thank you would have been nice - but who knows - there may be a second chance 😊…best wishes from Arjan and Sabine 🌸
