We couldn't have found a lovelier place to start our vacation in France in September 2011. The charming and most dedicated hosts Helga and Jean Pierre Minder welcomed us with big smiles at arrival and from there on we just eased into four days of bliss! The place is so peaceful in a huge park setting and very comfortable. We... More

You will not go wrong here. The couple who run this fabulous inn are the most welcoming in France. The setting is lovely with pool, great breakfasts and lots of local information. Most of the wonderful chateaux are within easy driving distance...and Saumur is a fun town with its own chateau. The room we were in was large and lovely,... More

This bed and breakfast is a spectacular find with lots of charm and character. It is quietly parked just minutes away from the town of Saumur in the Loire Valley and is centrally located to a number of chateaus worth visiting. Our incredibly gracious hosts were Helga and Jean Pierre Minder, whom were not only helpful by email prior to... More

La Croix de la Voulte is one of the very best B&B’s we have stayed in. The owners are extremely friendly and natural hosts, with the added advantage that they speak perfect English. The accommodation that they have created is not only one of the most beautiful we have come across but also the best value. Our room was huge,... More

Perfect B&B just a little outside the city of Saumur. Room was situated in the restored 'Domain', big beams, enormous chiminee, nice bathroom, big garden and swimmingpool. Delicious breakfast in a little gardenhouse. Warm welcome by Helga who makes you feel at home. More

I don't recall how I found this place -- but I have to say I'm glad I did! Just came back from three weeks in France/Spain/UK in May, 2007 and this was one of our favorite stops. It's a beautiful estate, charmingly maintained. The grounds are romantic and elegant starting with the entry gate. The room was spacious (two beds,... More
