OUR HOUSE
The house is a 100 years old and is full of charm! It is very confortable as the main renovation works are done. It’s located in the northern part of Saumur city.
There's a quiet garden, with fruit trees and grass.
YOUR ROOM
A private bedroom is available in our house (for 1-2 persons : double bed). See pictures !
The room is on a separate floor, on top of the house, where there is another bedroom, a storage room + 1 bathroom.
Smoking is not allowed in the room nor in the house, but we have a nice garden and a roofed terrace.
OUR HABITS AND WAY OF LIVING
- We try to have a sustainable way of living: we use the bike rather than the car as soon as possible, we try to reduce our energy and water consumption, we don't have a specific diet but eat very little meat and processed food. We love genuine products and knowing how it's been grown/made/raised.
-we don't smoke/do drugs.
-As a family with young children, we generally go to bed (and are up) early. Hosts can of course sleep later as long as they aren't too noisy...
You can borrow one of our numerous bikes.Was noch ...
Feel free to contact us to know more about us, what we offer, and about the house (we can send photos, translate the description into French or Spanish, give infos on some activities in Saumur for instance).

Saumur is a cute little city perched on the Loire river halfway between Angers and Tours.
I got to choose my own hours and spent most of my time working in the garden, when it was nice, and fixing up the basement, when it was raining.
