Beautiful 3 bedroom Gite in Parcay-les-Pins, near Saumur, Loire Valley Reviews

Just like to thank Louise and Peter for allowing us to stay in their gite. Its amazing to see what it was like 2 years ago and compare it to what it is today - a lot of love has gone into La Croix.

The property was exactly as described. Its really well equipped. There is lots of open space, not too fussy which is what we like. Its c. 2.5 kilometres to the nearest town (Gizeau) which has a nice bakery, butcher come general store and biscuit shop. There is also a very nice walk around the village.

The property was clean throughout and we had no problems using any of the kit. The patio around the back is fantastic - it was great to see the sun go down night after night after a hard days holidaying. We ate outside every day and made good use of the BBQ.

La Croix is well placed to travel east and west - there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive which was fine for us. The highlight for the boys was a visit to the tank museum in Saumur - if you are interested in WW2 or military vehicles this is a must see. The girls loved Villandry and also a visit to the Troglodyte settlement that we cycled through nr Saumur. Langeais, Chinon, Candes St Martin, Saumur, Fontevraud - all were great.

Booking the property was a doddle and it was a very easy transaction. I'd have no problem recommending La Croix to family and friends. You will need to drive or cycle to get around but as long as you are prepared to do that its a great place to stay.

Louise, Peter - good luck for the future and thanks again.
