Overlooking the ever-changing flow of the Loire, La Petite Maison Bleue offers a special retreat in the heart of Montsoreau. This charming stone abode is a beautifully curated hideaway for two, exuding historic character and classic French style, once featured in The Sunday Times as one of the "10 best gîtes in France".

Inside, the open-plan living space is inviting and well-equipped, with a modern kitchen, comfortable seating, exposed stone and heavy wood beams. The double bedroom offers a pretty place to rest, with a shower area and separate WC. Outside, your very own terrace is an idyllic spot whether enjoying morning coffee or evening apéritifs with remarkable views stretching over the roof tops and across the river.

Set in the heart of the village, everything you need is just steps away. Stroll along the characterfully steep lanes to the boulangerie for fresh croissants, enjoy a riverside lunch at a local restaurant or browse the Sunday market for regional produce. Bike and canoe hire are available in the village, perfect for exploring this idyllic stretch of the Loire at your own pace.

The location places you perfectly to discover the best of the Loire Valley. Just 12km away, Saumur enchants with its hilltop château, vibrant streets and the renowned Cadre Noir equestrian school. Nearby, the abbey of Fontevraud, the medieval town of Chinon and the charming lanes of nearby Candes-Saint-Martin offer rich cultural excursions. Further afield, discover iconic châteaux from the storybook turrets of Château d’Ussé to the regal splendour of Château Royal d’Amboise.

Whether you're sipping local Crémant on the terrace, cycling the riverside paths of the Loire à Vélo or simply soaking in the rhythm of village life, La Petite Maison Bleue promises an authentic and unforgettable escape in one of France’s most captivating regions.
