About this property

UNUSUAL GORGEOUS TRADITIONAL BOAT FACING THE CHATEAU DE SAUMUR

UNUSUAL and NEW! Amazing huge houseboat Gloriette de Loire ♥
This fully private houseboat offers a large space, cosy for holidays with all facilities. Safety area in the "chic" island of Saumur.
Fully equiped kitchen with dishwasher, fridge and freezer, oven coffe machine, boiler... italian style shower in mosaïc, large bards or single beds, separate automatic toilets, WIFI....
This is an amazing fully private traditional boat of the Loire river. A very confortable and large self catering boat moored just in front of the castel of Saumur.
In close proximity you will find:
Traditional commerce and markets
Historicalcity center right opposite
Boarding pier right opposite
In summer time gigs in town

The boat makes the perfect place for a rest or to watch the castle and the historical city at night.

Nostalgia! The boat is a creation of the first copy of a wash houseboat in France built year 1895 with all facilities and great confort.
We rent as well an other houseboat the LOIRE ROMANCE moored just behind and a self catering independent rental , a beautiful place located at the first floor of the family nineteenth century villa : the VILLA DE LOIRE.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
