Stunning home in the beautiful village of Montsoreau in the Loire Valley. 4 star

Newly restored, this lovely home is located in the village of Montsoreau which is labelled 'one of the most beautiful villages in France'. The house is on three levels with a double en-suite bedroom on the first floor and another en-suite bedroom on the 2nd floor.
There is a large salon with dining area, which leads onto the kitchen. Large doors open onto a small walled courtyard, which is a lovely spot to take your morning breakfast with croissants from one of the best bakeries in the area, just a few minutes walk from Le Seize.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to rustle up a gourmet meal with local ingredients found in the weekly Sunday market. Alternatively, you could try one of the may restaurants in the village minutes away from Le Seize. The village is located on the Loire river where you take a boat trip, go fishing, kayaking, there is even a beach close by for sunbathing. Plenty of places to visit too, you will be spoilt for choice! Saumur is a 15 minute drive with its restaurants, bars and boutiques for a little bit of window shopping. Many famous Chateaux to visit close by. And of course if you like wine this is the best region to enjoy a day or two wine tasting at the many vineyards in the area and to visit the famous sparkling wine houses of Ackerman, Bouvet - Ladubay, Gratien Meyer, Veuve Amiot to name but a few. If you visit the wine cellars of Ackerman as well as wine tasting, don't forget to visit the caves and enjoy the art installations as you wind yourself around the interior of the caves. Close to the medieval town of Chinon, take the opportunity to visit the Thursday morning market and enjoy a glass of wine on the square and watch the world go by.
Welcome gift awaits you with locally produced wine and local produce.

Small well behaved dogs accepted. (1 only please)

Cleaning service available.

Great Stay in Lovely Montsoreau
My husband and I spent 6 days in Le Seize in late October/early November. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The village of Montsoreau is lovely and well equipped with stores and restaurants. Montsoreau’s location was perfect for day trips to various chateaux and wineries. Le Seize is an excellent home away from home- it is very cozy, quiet and comfortable. Glyn and John have thought of everything!

A marvelous, totally restored Village house, well worthy of its four star accommodation rating from France hotel rating services. Wonderfully decorated, loved the towels, the bedding, the comfort, the coziness! The owner’s love of their property is obvious from the moment you open the door and explore this wonderful home!

Very comfortable property
We had a lovely 5 night stay here. The property is very clean and well presented with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely to find such a stylish property that allows dogs. We didn’t meet the owners as everything was provided. Plenty of free parking nearby so not a problem not being able to park at the property. Would definitely recommend.

Great little house in a charming village.
If you are looking a spacious apartment in a quiet storybook village surrounded by art-filled Chateau, with a great patisserie, a thriving Sunday market, great restaurants and vineyards then this is the place for you. The white cliffs/caves and Loire river are also cool. Literally. Super nice and helpful owner.

We spent more than two weeks in Montsoreau. We had the pleasure to stay at Le Seize. The property is very nice and located in a lovely village.The house comes with laundry facilities and a kitchen well equipped. The hosts, Glyn and John, are very helpful. The property does not include parking, but we had no problem to find parking on the side streets. We hope to come back!

Adorable home in picturesque village
This house was perfect for 2 couples traveling together with both bedrooms having en-suite bathrooms. We loved the private outdoor patio/eating area with the glass doors opening off the kitchen. We cooked breakfast each morning and made some “French” dishes from produce & meats purchased from local markets. We loved this area of France with a great bakery in town and with many nearby beautiful villages, chateaus & castles. Glyn & John were the most helpful hosts, even making dinner suggestions and reservations for us. We would definitely stay here again if we return to this area.

Great house and location. Tight in the middle of a nice village in the Loire.
As per the title. The house is great. Feels really “solid” and tastefully decorated. B straightforward - no deposits or cleaning fees etc so really easy. Reason for 4 stars was that during our stay, much of the village was closed due to long term road and (I think) drainage works. So our experience different from how it would be in the summer when they are finished. But I’d definitely come again which is the main thing.

Lovely cottage, great location
On a quiet street minutes from the Loire with 2 village cafes, 6 restaurants, patisserie, etc. and the local chateau within a 10 minute walk. Village is a hidden gem itself close to much of interest yet not overrun (we spent 3 weeks in June). Cottage ground floor has a spacious sitting/dinning room, a modern, compact, kitchen well equipped for short stays, with big pocket doors leading to a small walled terrace with dining and seating, herbs and flowers. Great place for morning coffee and aperitifs. First and second floors each has a spacious and comfortable bedroom suite. It is a sympathetically restored and modernized cottage, tastefully decorated. Easy parking 5 mins away at the Chateau lot along the river. Delightful hosts. Highly recommend.

A perfect place in every way
What a wonderful time we had at le Seize! From the moment of booking, Glyn and John took excellent care of us. The house is utterly charming - situated in a beautiful village on the Loire with its very own impressive chateau. Every comfort is provided to create a cosy, clean and beautifully furnished space. The wood fire was wonderful! Bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you'd wish for, and everything provided in the kitchen to make self-catering a breeze. The property has been renovated and decorated to a very high standard. Parking easily found in the street nearby. We thoroughly recommend this property for an unbeatable base to explore the many marvels of this region. Thank you again to Glyn and John for such a perfect stay!

We loved our stay in Le Seize, Montsoreau. The house is lovely, lots of period detail, finished to a very high standard and really tastefully decorated. Well thought out, comfy beds, all mod cons. Glyn and John could not have been more helpful. Montsoreau is gorgeous, the Sunday market really bustling and great produce, good restaurants. We didn’t know the area but we fell in love with it and there’s masses to do and see. The kids loved the interactive iPads at Chinon castle which brought the place to life. But the highlight was a swim in the river near the stunning Chenonceau chateau. We’ll be back and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Le Seize again

Relaxing break by the Loire
We hivered about going abroad but we were so glad that we did & that we chose Montsoreau. The house was beautiful and contained everything we needed for our stay. The enclosed courtyard was a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or when it was warm enough to eat outside. There are two ensuite bedrooms, we used the one on the top floor because we liked to view from the windows. The village has an excellent bakery & a butcher as well as bars and good restaurants. Montsoreau is well placed for visiting historic sites in the area. We went to Fontevraud Abbey, Chateau de l'Islette, Musée des Blindés, and a gala evening put at the Cadre Noir, but there were lots of other options. We would certainly return to Montsoreau and Le Seize

We enjoy visiting this area in the late part of autumn. The rain or drizzle or cool days are offset by a wonderful wood-burning fireplace at night. You will enjoy the hospitality of your hosts as you cuddle inside a very beautiful home. We will return again.

Absolut empfehlenswert
Wir haben schon etliche Häuser in Frankreich gemietet. Das Haus von Glyn und John gehört zu den besten. Alles klappte hervorragend. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet mit modernem Charme. Ein richtiges Zuhause! Zum Willkommen stand ein Korb mit Produkten aus der Gegend parat. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Den Innenhof konnten wir leider wegen des Wetters nicht so häufig benutzen. Aber die Polstergruppe im Wohnzimmer hat uns dafür entschädigt. Die geräumigen Schlafzimmer haben beide ein Ensuite-Badezimmer. Im Zwischenstock hat es einen kleinen Wirtschaftsraum mit Waschmaschine und allem Putzmaterial. Alles war SEHR saubet. Sogar der Grill blitzte. Nach einer Woche hat Glyn die Betten neu bezogen und alle Bade-.und Küchentücher ersetzt. Auch das Parkieren beim Château war kein Problem. Wir fanden immer einen Parkplatz. Das Haus liegt ideal. Wir haben jeden Tag in der Umgebung Neues entdecken können. Wir würden mehr als 10 Punkte geben, wenn das möglich wäre. Wir können das Haus nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

This was our third stay at Le Seize, which is a cosy, comfortable house & it was as good as we remembered. Montsoreau is a lovely spot with an excellent market, butcher and boulangerie/patisserie. There are lots of chateaux, castles and towns within easy reach, or you can just enjoy the shaded courtyard. We had no difficulty in parking our car in the car park by the chateau, a few minutes walk from the house and were able to stop briefly outside for unloading/loading. Highly recommended!

¨" Ici le bonheur est fait maison"
"Le Seize" à Montsoreau est un endroit où il fait bon prendre le temps de vivre ! Notre charmante hôtesse Glyn a su magnifiquement donner une âme à sa maison, sérénité, confort, décoration etc.. tout y contribue ! Le patio est un petit endroit fleuri adorable ...et le soir ne pas oublier d' allumer les lumières : une féérie pour les yeux ! Enfin il n' y a que le choix pour se promener et découvrir divers endroits à visiter : Histoire, gastronomie, balade au fil de la Loire, les vignobles, artisanat etc... il y en a pour le goût de chacun car c'est une très belle région ! A conseiller entre autres ; "Les Faluns" site troglodyte, l'Abbaye de Fontevraud , le musée des Blindés à Saumur, "Le Clos Luçé " dernière demeure de Léonard de Vinci .... et "le Monsorelli", à 2 pas du logis, où on peut dîner excellement avec une vue étonnante sur le château de Montsoreau et la Loire ! Alors merci pour tout ... On a qu'une envie c'est d'y revenir ! Bonne continuation, Isabelle
