We have people from all over the world staying with us. from Europe, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa even from as far away as Thailand and Singapore   Click  comments* to read all their impressions of our gite accommodation. Below is just one example:

"Brian and Sheila are the perfect hosts.
We have been renting gîtes for many years
and this is the best and the best value. 
In fact we were initially concerned it was
too cheap!!! We loved the village, the food,
the wine and all the very friendly people.
Take the 10km. walk through the
beautiful countryside it is well worth it!!
We would love to return to Le Puy and
to this great gîte. Thanks for a great holiday.
Sarah and Alan Burnley,

Florida, United States of America)."

be seen at Le Clos des Guyons

 

Gite holiday accommodation with heated pool in the Loire Valley together with Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Saumur vineyards in the Loire Valley, France. The gites at Le Clos des Guyons are situated on the 'Route Touristique des Vignobles d'Anjou", in the pretty wine producing village of Le Puy-Notre-Dame, (now with its own wine appellation). Although on the edge of the vineyards, it is only a few minutes walk to the boulangerie, café bar, restaurant, pharmacie, supermarket, post office, hairdresser, and, with three major towns within  a few minute drive, it is an ideal base from which to tour the Chateaux, vineyards and other attractions of the Loire.  The gites have en-suite facilities and swimming pools and are exceedingly well equipped to a high standard making exceptional holiday accommodation for our guests.
We have a third, independent gite on the other side of the the village with its own grounds and private pool but still within easy walking distance of all the village amenities.
We are well placed for wine based holidays. Either do your own thing or we can arrange a private tour or wine course.
We have tried to fill the website with as much information as possible aboutgite in loire valley,night view the gites, the accommodation and the Loire Valley in general. So please explore it at your leisure and, hopefully, we will be able to say to you personally:-

"WHAT OUR GITES HAVE TO OFFER"

bulletBoth our gites are newly renovated  and  fully equipped.  The gites are situated in the pretty wine village of Le Puy-Notre-Dame  and within easy walking distance of the artisan bakery, bar, restaurant, hairdresser, supermarket, pharmacie, post office, etc., whilst also being next to extensive vineyards 
bulletOur gites are located  an easy  five minute drive from the pretty rose growing town of Doué la Fontaine and the very attractive small chateau town of Montreuil-Bellay.  The major chateau town of Saumur  is only a 15 minute drive away
bulletOur gites are perfectly located to use as a base to explore the Chateaux and other delights of the Loire Valley, located as they are between Angers and Tours.
bullet Both gites at "Le Clos de Guyons" and the gite at "Le Clos Charmeur" have totally secure parking so that you can enjoy your stay in the Loire Valley with no fears about your vehicle security.
bulletAs we live on site, we are always there to answer any queries, or make any reservations, in fact generally help in any way we can!
bulletThese are two great links I have found. The first gives a virtual visit of several of the famous Loire Valley Chateaux and the second is a virtual visit of many of the best views of the Loire Valley
"IDEAL FOR SHORT BREAK  IN LOIRE VALLEY"
bulletApart from the low-cost ferry operator, Speedferries  (so cheap to cross the channel), the growing number of low-cost flights now available means that you can easily rent a weekend gite in the Loire Valley for less money than a short-break in the UK.  For example, you can be relaxing in your gite or enjoying your welcoming glass of local sparkling wine, less than two hours after leaving London Stansted Airport, Southampton, East Midlands, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Dublin, Shannon, arriving into a variety of airports, such as Tours, Poitiers, Angers, and Nantes-Atlantique, all within easy driving distance of our gites at Le Clos des Guyons. There are car hire desks at all airports.  
bulletWe have now added the link below which is a list of current airports from which you can now fly to your Gite in the Loire Valley from almost anywhere in the UK.
