About this property

Cottage du Figuier, a peaceful retreat at the Château de la Giraudière near southern Angers

We will be delighted to welcome you to one of our two cottages. Here you will find real rest and interesting activities throughout the Unesco World Heritage region.
The COTTAGE DU FIGUIER is located in a pretty site near a seventeenth century outbuilding of the Château de la Giraudière.
From your private garden, equipped with garden furniture and two sunbathing armchairs, you will cross a small soup to go to the swimming pool heated in the summer and treated with salt. No vis-à-vis!
On the 15 hectares that surround the castle and the cottages, you can walk, stroll or fish in the pond.
The very pretty village of BLAISON-GOHIER, classified as a Small Cities of Character, will charm you. Hiking trails with the GR3 pass at our doorstep. Many VINEYARDS surround us...
The property is completely enclosed and access to the cottage is through a secure gate.
We offer two independent cottages not overlooked, backing onto each other with separate access, private garden with garden furniture and barbecue. They can also be rented together to accommodate 6 people.

The COTTAGE DU FIGUIER for 2 PEOPLE (AIR-CONDITIONED)
It is on the first floor, organized as a loft, with shower and toilet, a well-equipped kitchen (LV, LL, hood, induction hob), garden furniture and BBQ.
The bedding is top-of-the-range "Sealy" in 160 x 200. Linen pack on request.

From May, if the outside temperatures allow it, you can enjoy a large heated SWIMMING POOL (12.5 x 5.5) shared but never overcrowded, salt treatment, surrounded by comfortable deckchairs in a very green and peaceful environment.
When you walk in the park of the castle, the view is as far as the horizon can see. Armchairs await you in the shade of the lime trees overlooking the valley and the pond to enjoy the magnificent sunset.
Do you want to fish? We will lend you equipment.

The environment is magical!

In a tourist region where the vineyards and architecture charm the visitor, the two cottages are located between ANGERS (20 kms) AND SAUMUR (30 kms), 8 kms from the Château de BRISSAC, a must-see in Anjou.
The Château de la Giraudière, 15th, 17th and 19th centuries, is located on a ridge, overlooking the village of Blaseon-Gohier and the Loire Valley (a UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Its park and pond offer a charming and bucolic environment.

Independent entrance, enclosed park, secure gates with code and calm guaranteed!

It is an ideal base for visiting the CASTLES OF THE LOIRE, but also for cycling (LA LOIRE A VÉLO), hiking with the GR3 which passes on the edge of the park, canoeing for a descent of the LOIRE, tree climbing, wake boarding at the WAKEPARK of Notre-Dame d'Alençon, the city of ANGERS, its castle and its historic city center, the large leisure park TERRA BOTANICA and that of PUY DU FOU which is 1 hour 15 minutes from our village, the CADRE NOIR in SAUMUR, and the unmissable ABBEY OF FONTEVRAUD...
Surrounded by vineyards, we can advise you on a tasting tour with talented winegrowers who will introduce us to the wines of Anjou.

We are very attentive to the comfort and well-being of our visitors and we like to take the time to meet them. We listen to your expectations and we will be delighted to help you organize your leisure activities on site and advise you on the biggest spots in ANJOU.

This haven of peace awaits you and you will not be disappointed!

Peace, beauty, charm.

A return visit to the chateau, this time as a couple. We came back because of the location close to the Loire and civilisation whilst in beautiful grounds set apart from the rest of the world. A stunning pool, privacy, well equipped accommodation. Great and safe cycling, charming villages, vines galore. Great for couples but also families. Host Catherine is so helpful - her English puts my French to shame!

Heerlijk rustige plek

Le cottage des figuiers is een heerlijk rustige plek op een prachtig landgoed. In het huisje is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt op vakantie. Het zwembad is heerlijk om gebruik van te maken. In het andere huisje zaten ook gasten maar die hoorden we nauwelijks.

It was a quiet and beautiful place to stay. The owner Catherine was welcoming and generously opened up the gardens around her house for our use. The pool was lovely. We had a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

Lovely property, beautiful and quiet location

We had a wonderful stay in this cute cottage. Only one room, but with lovely seating arrangements outside, who needed any more. The bed was comfortable, the surroundings just beautiful, and we explored them on bike and on foot and in the car. The hosts were wonderful. it could not have been better. Remember however to ensure you know what is open when and book the restaurants in advance!

Thank you Penny for your nice review. You are right for the restaurants which are, most of the time, closed on Monday and quite often on Sunday evening. I shall precise the openings on the list. Best wishes !

This is one gem of a gite.

Could not have enjoyed it more. Having breakfast to the morning song of golden oriole and turtle dove in the surrounding woodland, a leisurely dip in the shared pool in the afternoon, an evening firing up the barbeque consoled by a cool local chenin. Bliss. Plus hosts Catherine and Phillipe were most welcoming and helpful. They produce a good evening meal in the chateau too when the barbeque seems like too much effort. We have not travelled extensively in France. But over the past 20 years or so we have been to, and stayed in, a fair few places. Most good to excellent; two less so. The Loire has turned out to be our favourite spot and the bit between Angers and Saumur is probably the cherry atop the icing on the cake. Fig Cottage is a great place to hang out for a week or two in a superb location. OK so it is not big,. But it has all the mod cons one needs. And let's face it who needs big on holiday. Could not recommend it more. I would be bitterly disappointed if we did not return.

What a wonderful comment ! We are absolutly deligthed to make you and Jacqueline so happy ! Fig Cottage is not big but if you need more space Mulberry Cottage offers much more space ! Have a very nice summer, observing the lovely birds around and we would be very happy to welcome you again ! Kind regards, Catherine and Philippe

8/10 Good

Quiet and stylish

The accommodation is basically one room, with a bathroom cube in one corner. It contains almost everything you would want. The site is very quiet and private, and part of a bigger chateau site, which is very impressive. The bed was very comfy. The bathroom cube is a bit dark, but there was always hot water. The hostess is very friendly and business-like, and speaks good English - which helped my very poor French. For people who aren't used to the French way of life, we found finding places to eat very difficult - local restaurants were open on only selected days and times, and lots of them were already pre-booked. It's worth doing some research and booking restaurants ahead. I'm always wary of saying I'll go back to a place, but we enjoyed our stay and are thinking of returning.

Thank you Helen. You are right about the light in the bathroom. This is a bit dark. We shall improve it with new lights. About restaurants, the second part of september is more quiet but we have still many visitors from all over the world and the restaurants should be aware of these potential customers. In the french countryside, most of the restaurants are closed on Sunday evenings and Monday By chance le Petit Blaison at the village and le Bistrot de St Saturnin, 6kms from Blaison, are opened most of the week. I shall make a list of a dozen of restaurants with openings. It will help a lot ! Thanks again for your advise.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable au Figuier, qui est confortable, propre, très bien équipé, avec une jolie décoration. Le cadre est magnifique, le jardin autour du château est très fleuri et la vue est à couper le souffle! Je vous conseille de prendre un petit apéro au moment du coucher de soleil! les propriétaires sont montrés accueillants et disponibles pour nous indiquer les bonnes tables et activités aux alentours. Nous gardons un bon souvenir de ce séjour et espérons pouvoir revenir bientôt, si possible en été pour profiter de la grande piscine!

Excellent séjour

Une parenthèse de deux semaines particulièrement agréable dans un bel endroit paisible et reposant. Le gite est rénové et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et dispose de tout le confort. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les promenades en soirée dans la propriété. Remerciements sincères aux hôtes pour leur disponibilité, leur gentillesse et leur discrétion. Adresse précieuse à conserver et à se transmettre entre amateurs de beaux lieux, de tranquillité et de nature.
