Guest reviews for L'arbrissel
"Great location in beautiful village and on such a pretty little street! Free parking! Close to the event we were attending! Nice big bedroom, good kitchen facilities with tea and coffee pods supplied! Good comms with owners :)"
"Steep stairs, a bit outdated!"
"This quaint small house was a great home base for our exploration of the Loire Valley. It is centrally located in the lovely village of Fontevraud l'Abbaye, just a short walk from the World Heritage Site. We enjoyed the classic feel of the town, the weekly Wednesday market, as well as the gorgeous woods nearby. With a rental car, there is easy access to many wineries and chateaux nearby."
"The town is beautiful but very small, so there are only a couple of restaurant options (though they are fabulous!) and they tend to close very early. The house provides all the necessary amenities, so easy to buy your own groceries. However, the one toilet was situated on the main floor, down quite a steep staircase from the bedroom."
"This is an absolutely perfect place. It is set up like home, beautifully furnished with antiques and art. It’s great for cooking in with a fridge and all cooking supplies. There are towels, soap, toilet paper and sheets. It’s on the same little street as the biggest Abbey in France, a beautiful place to visit. We saw a night sound and music display there from 10-12 pm, amazing. The village is quiet and close to Saumur (champignon caves, pommes tapping, home of Triple Sec distillery, and a chateau and boat tours), Chateau Breze (with very interesting deep moat, caves and wine tasting), and Chinon (Sunday market and a must-see medieval town). We stayed 3 nights and wished we stayed at least a week. It’s a good base for many discoveries. There are wine places and a soap making place with museum nearby. We ate at a restaurant called Licorne three doors down - excellent! Make reservations."

"L'emplacement impeccable dans la jolie rue principale très proche de l'Abbaye"
"Juste un petit détail, la chambre étant au 1er étage, les WC se situent au RdC."
"Gite très agréable, bien placé proche de l' abbaye. Hôte soucieux de notre confort"
"Aucun."
"Le charme d’une maison un peu ancienne. La proximité avec l’Abbaye, des restaurants et petits commerces d’alimentation. Le calme de la rue la nuit. Les parkings gratuits tous proches. La chambre , très vaste, avec vue sur la jolie rue qui mène à l’Abbaye. Une douche à côté de la chambre. Une autre salle d’eau avec douche à côté de la cuisine. La cuisine est bien équipée et dans le salon il y a une télévision face au canapé."
"Nous sommes septuagénaires avec des problèmes de hanches, de genoux, les escaliers c’était compliqué, donc je déconseille aux personnes âgées."
"Pour 5 jours c'était bien car on passer seulement la soirée et nuit. En plus c'était pas loin du bourg genre boulangerie donc c'était cool. Le village était sympa."
"Aucun."
"Une super adresse et des hôtes d une réactivité rarement égalée. La maison est idéalement située,avec beaucoup d'équipements. A refaire sans hésiter"
"Ras"
"Rapport qualité prix au top, gîte simple au "charme désuet " mais bien équipé, propreté,documentations, situation impeccable."
"Petit bémol le manque d'échange humain bien que pratique la boîte à clés c'est sûr ! je regrette quand même l'échange plus perso.."
"Emplacement calme, facilité de stationnement, charme un peu rétro du logement, équipement général."
"Absence d'un petit porte-manteau au rez-de-chaussée."

"Had a wonderful stay, room was super clean, comfortable, charming, and with a lovely view of the mountains. Peggy and Philippe are friendly and caring, and the breakfast was delicious. Can't wait to come back, thank you!!!"
"The host couple were just fantastic. The facility is very much a small home. The kitchen is well appointed and the hostess stocked the fridge and pantry with essentials so that we very comfortably made a good breakfast every day we were there. Severine was attentive - when we put our bath towel out on a chair on the terrasse to dry, a clothes drying rack appeared. One day we were delighted with two homemade apple tarts. Just lots of little details attended to in an already lovely situation."

"- wonderful location at the entrance of the old town and 5-10 minutes of walk to the Sablettes beach - hidden space with toys above the kitchen - enough space and amenities in general for a short stay of 4 persons - comfortable beds - 1 parasol available for the beach - the host responds quickly and is helpful"
