Perfect place to stay, lovely location
We have just stayed at Les Guittieres for 3 nights and had a perfect time. Justine and Paul are amazing hosts, very welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. We loved the location of the Gite being so rural and quiet. We would certainly recommend this Gite to anyone and would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you again Justine and Paul

Jolie demeure dans un cadre vert
Jolie maison bien entretenu et joliment décorée. Nous y étions pour Noël et c'était vraiment très chaleureux! 2 chambres sont communicantes, ça vaut le coup d'être mentionné je pense. Propriétaires adorables.

About the host

Hosted by Justine & Paul

Host profile image
We bought Les Guittieres in 2003 as a permanent home, our family and friends love to visit and spend time here to get away from the stresses of work. I look after our guests and cater for Breakfast and BBQ’s if required and my husband is a Sports Therapist and strength and condition coach. He runs a clinic from Les Guittieres offering a range of treatments including massage. We have many plans for Les Guittieres and cant wait to share them with our visitors not least our natural swimming pool which is currently under construction. Creating a haven for all our wildlife is of untmost importance to us and we will be undertaking projects that encourage, bats, birds, bees and butterfliess to thrive.

Why they chose this property

For us, a trip from Caen to Les Guittieres is quick and easy and brings us to Les Guittieres in the heart of the beautiful Loire valley. There are numerous chateaus and places of interest to visit and its only 30 minutes into Le Mans with its world famous race track, gothic Cathedral and medieval quarter and from where you can travel to Paris within the hour by train. The house is placed above the valley looking across to the village of Sarce , surrounded by nature its perfect to unwind, if you fancy something a little more energetic , running, cycling and kayaking are accessed by foot or a short car journey making it a wonderful base for a holiday.

What makes this property unique

The property location provides tranquillity, a rural back drop and complete freedom for people and animals alike. With (in our opinion) the most beautiful view in Sarce and the best star gazing experience. The properties on the grounds have character and history dating back as early as the 15th Century linking it to the Chateau du Sarceau, it served the Chateau as the servants accommodation; the orchards and the snail farm.
NOTE: Animals are welcome but we ask they are kept off the furniture, you clean up after them and you watch them with the families animals
