Cecile and Yannick do not overpromise when they state on their website that they look forward to welcoming their guests to a wonderfully calm and peaceful environment. Indeed, we received a very warm welcome with home-made honey, grapes and tomatoes from the garden. The Pigeoneer cottage is a real experience: while you still feel like in on old pigeon loft, it is all brand new; the kitchen is well equipped, the bed is very comfortable, and the cottage is overall very tastefully furnished with lots of attention paid to details. It is also spotlessly tidy, even the pigeon holes, which are by definition destined to attract dust, are clean. The stairs to the bedroom gallery perfectly blend into the apartment but require you to be reasonably surefooted. The terrace overlooking the vineyards invites for breakfast, lunch or dinner (restaurants and supermarkets are withing 10-15 minutes driving distance). Moreover, deck-chairs allow you to experience the ‘sounds of silence’ of the place. During a wonderful and relaxing week, we visited many sights and towns nearby (Breze, Chinon, Saumur, Angers), but also truly enjoyed the quality of the cottage and its peaceful surroundings. A big thank you to Cecile and Yannick to make this possible.
