Gracious comfort
What a wonderful base from which to explore the beautiful chateau and vineyards of the Loire Valley! Villa Victoria is tastefully and elegantly appointed, the five bedrooms are large and comfortable, and although there are no en-suites, there are five bathrooms including one that features a 2-person Jacuzzi. There were six of us, and we had no problem with bathroom schedules.
The kitchen is well equipped and adjoins a lovely formal dining room. The grounds are beautiful, and thereâs a lower lounge area with a fire pit as well as a patio right off the kitchen where we spent our cocktail hours after a day of touring.
The house is located in the small, quiet village of YvrĂ© le PĂŽlin and thereâs a nice grocery store/butcher, a bakery, a bar/newsstand, an ATM and a pharmacy all within a five-minute walk of the house. One could tell that the town doesnât get very many foreign (in our case, American) visitors, but the people were friendly and warm wherever we went.
Although there are no restaurants in the village, there are two very nice ones within a 15 minute drive: âLa Botte d'Aspergesâ in nearby GuĂ©cĂ©lard and âFleur de Thymâ in the town of Ecommoy.
Two nearby must-see attractions include: âChĂąteau du Ludeâ, a beautiful âsmallâ chateau and gardens located in the village of Le Lude, and âJardin d'Atmosphereâ in Saint Biez en Belin, a spectacular small garden created by a husband and wife over 30 years. Itâs a beautiful place to relax in nature.
Our host Arlette went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, suggesting sites & restaurants she thought we might like and even going to the trouble of borrowing two bicycles for our use. She met us at the house to show us around and to explain how to use the washer/dryer, stove, etc. Although she doesnât speak English fluently, sheâs a wonderfully warm, helpful person. We all had a terrific time and weâre anxiously looking forward to our next visit to Villa Victoria.
