Had an excellent few days in La Croix, a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding area. Really peaceful location with fantastic accommodation - definitely worth a return. Great communication from the owners.
We had a wonderful week in La Croix. Well appointed, rustic charm and comfortable, with everything you need for a great stay. The garden patio is ideal with a couple of friendly horses nearby. I would highly recommend a stay in this property.
Beautiful spacious gite with lovely surroundings. The gite had everything we needed and was extremely well kept. Great location from which to explore the Loire Valley. We plan to return again!
We spent a lovely week here at the end of July. We enjoyed walking, cycling, canoeing and paddleboarding as well as visits to Saumur and Chinon. The house is fantastic, very well equipped in a peaceful location. We especially enjoyed the table tennis table and boules in the garden!
A perfect stay in a well equipped gite. Great to see all the Loire Valley attractions and also a great location to cycle around the local area. The booking process was quick, easy and straightforward. Thanks for a lovely holiday. We will be back.
Even better than the pictures! It was much more spacious than we were expecting, really well equipped and a lovely peaceful location. Comfortable beds and sitting area. I loved the garden, nicely planted and lots of different areas to sit in at different times of the day. Plenty of things to do near Saumur, and if you are prepared to travel a bit further in the opposite direction - a whole host of chateau's and gardens to explore.
Lovely house in a beautiful, peaceful location Very well equipped everywhere apart from the garden chairs which were broken so not enough for all 6 of us to sit and eat outside. A brilliant location for visiting chateaux, swimming lakes and wine-tasting at the caves in Saumur. Darren gave really useful information and recommendations for visits in the local area.
Well, what a wonderful time we have had in France! We all fell in love with the location and the Ashley/Holloway party thought La Croix was a beautiful home - it really was hard to leave and we will hold the memories of a good time for years.
Thank you for your directions, instructions and advice - all were welcome and very useful and we were able to get about with ease and find all we needed.
Thank you again for a wonderful week.
The communication with the host before and during the stay was great. The property itself is quite big, comfortable and well equipped. Itâs great value for money and set in lovely countryside.
Karakteristieke ruime woning in rustige omgeving op het platteland. Helaas niet veel te beleven in de omgeving (zeker niet voor kinderen).
Woning van alles voorzien. Bovenetage wel heel erg warm bij buitentemp boven de 25 graden. Woning schoon opgeleverd (behalve inventaris keuken).
Prettige, snelle en adequate communicatie met eigenaar.
PS WIFI verbinding te traag/ instabiel om er iets nuttigs mee te kunnen doen.
La Croix was a comfortable and cosy gite with a beautiful garden. You can live the love and dedication that went into the restauration of this Gite. The weather wasnât the best - like in most places in Europe - but the close vicinity of chateaux, towns at the WII made for a great week!
We have just spent a wonderful week in this beautifully renovated cottage. Very spacious and full of character, whilst retaining the charm of the cottage, all modern amenities are at hand. Located in amongst the local fruit farms and forests of the area we loved plotting our destination for the next day, enjoying our aperitif in the garden , watching the sun set. We were never short of somewhere to explore with Chateaux, markets and lovely little towns in abundance,all within very reasonable drive times.
Due to work commitments we needed to book somewhere from Friday to Friday and this was no problem, Louise was extremely accommodating and all my communications and concerns were dealt with immediately. We would highly recommend LaCroix, it gave us everything we hoped for and more. Thank you Louise and Peter.
A fabulous location and well appointed gite. Superb holiday in a tranquil and stunning setting
A brilliant stay made all the more special by sharing it with the hosts and very good friends, Pete & Louise. Their gite is simply stunning; well presented, very well equipped and set in the most idyllic of surroundings within the Loire Valley and within easy reach of the more popular tourist areas. Great holiday - thank you both.
The experience we had was more than we expected. Everything in the Gite was there including English TV programmes. The garden was atmospheric with the abundance of lavender which encouraged all manner of bees and butterflies. The weather was exceptional which in the S France broke the temperature record. The surrounding villages were an architectural delight and the wild life include buzzards, hares, turtledoves and badgers. All in all an amazing experience.
La Croix is owned by Peter, Louise and of course our two adult children Ellen and Matt. We had been talking about buying a holiday home for many years before finally taking the plunge and buying La Croix. Our plans, though, never included buying a falling down shack in the middle of rural France, with limited knowledge of the language! This is however, what we did and with the help of friends, family and an excellent builder we have managed to restore La Croix and turn it into a fantastic holiday home which we love visiting!
We have now successfully hosted guests for over 10 years and with so much to see and do in the area our guests are still introducing us to new things all the time. We love hearing where they have visited and we often add these to our list of things to do when we next visit. We have continued to improve and update La Croix since the initial renovation and it certainly is a fantastic place to stay. So relaxing yet with lots to do if you want it!
We had enjoyed many holidays in the Loire before buying La Croix and loved the peace and tranquility of the area. The area is full of great places to visit and there is nothing better than star gazing late into the night enjoying a glass or two of wine.
La Croix has lots of character yet has all the modern facilities that you expect from a holiday gite. It is a perfect place to unwind and relax both in the Winter and Summer months - sat in front of the cosy log burner in Winter or sat on the patio looking over the wheat or sunflower fields in the summer! Perfect!
