Fantastic holiday in great setting
By Helen and Nick Walters on 16-Sep-2026We had a great holiday here in the Loire. Cannot recommend it enough especially if you want peace and quiet. There is everything you need in the apartment which in our experience is rare. If there happens to be anything you need or anything you want to know the owners are there to listen to you. Lots of places to visit in the area and then back to the apartment for a glass of wine enjoying the view. A delight.
Truly Magical
By Debbie on 19-Aug-2026We stayed here for a week with our daughter and were warmly welcomed by the lovely Carol and Pete. We absolutely fell in love with the place right from the start. Everything about Le Vieux Moulin is picture perfect. Tranquil, beautiful, clean, comfortable. Staying for a week is really not enough to appreciate it. We had a hamper supplied for us that was outstanding! Every little detail had been paid attention to. The gite is so well equipped, it really feels like you’re at home. Waking up in the morning and having a coffee on the balcony was amazing, overlooking the river in the morning sun. Equally, sat out at night looking at the stars on a clear night was fantastic. We spotted shooting stars on our first evening! We explored so much of the area during our stay. Saumur is beautiful on the Loire Valley and has some amazing restaurants. We were always welcomed back to Le Vieux Moulin by Felix, one of the many resident cats who we totally fell in love with and followed us around like our little tour guide! Thank you so much to Carol and Pete for such a wonderful stay and for being so awesome! You probably guessed we really didn’t want to leave! This has to be one of the best, if not THE best places we’ve stayed. Hopefully we will see you next year xxx
