Le Logis du Bourg Neuf

On the hillside and on the banks of the Loire, on the Loire à Vélo cycle route, enjoy a peaceful stay between Saumur and Montsoreau, in an old restored house in the heart of a 15th-century semi-troglodyte hamlet. Dating from around 1470, the dwelling has been carefully renovated using traditional materials: tufa stone and oak, wrought iron and linen. The 47m² single-storey gîte can accommodate up to 2 adults. In the main room, a monumental fireplace in perfect working order awaits you for superb flambées. The four-poster bed has been adapted to the 21st century in 160x200 cm. The chests and sideboards contain pillows and blankets for cosy comfort. A television and a wifi internet connection via fiber optic cable keep you in touch with the outside world (included in the price). The troglodyte kitchen is equipped with an electric stove with oven, hood, fridge, washing-machine dryer, microwave oven, coffee machine and toaster. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, washbasin, toilet and towel warmer. Outside, there's a small terrace with garden furniture and deckchairs. There's also a lockable storage area for your bicycles. The gîte is within easy reach of the Saumur-Champigny vineyards, the châteaux of Saumur, Montsoreau and Brézé, Fontevraud Abbey, the GR3 hiking trail and the Loire by bike route. Access to the gîte is via a steep slope accessible by car (see photo). Baby equipment is available on request (high chair, bathtub, changing table), as is an iron and ironing board in the gîte. Additional charges: electricity over 8 kwh per day (current EDF rate), electric and wood heating (10.00e per basket - first flambé free), tourist tax. Weekly bookings from Saturday to Saturday only.
