Gorgeous luxury houseboat Loire Romance : Unusual

SaidRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Unusual accommodation exactly what we were looking for for our Christmas vacation. There would certainly be another way to moor the boat because the squeaking of the rope on the hull somewhat disrupts sleep. An excellent position facing the Château de Saumur and a well-equipped boat to have a pleasant stay on the Loire.
A cozy dining area features a round wooden table surrounded by four chairs. A wood stove is positioned nearby. Natural light filters through large windows, adorned with red curtains, offering a view of the water and greenery outside.

Mirage SPA cabin for 2 people

FrederikRating, 5 stars91 months ago
Perfect for shutting down!! The "cabins" are all individually in the forest as a tree house or swimming on the water. The place is simple but in high quality construction. In our cabin on the lake we had a Scandinavian SPA (warm water, perfect for colder seasons) overlooking the lake - fantastic! Breakfast is brought to the cabin in a basket in the morning and serves its purpose perfectly. For showering, you go to the main building, where large modern shower cabins are waiting. We were able to complete our trip with a walk around the lake and a small boat trip (good possibility for a picnic on the water). The staff is super suited and extremely helpful!

Unusual floating cottage in the heart of nature...

Paul and GreicyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings, this is the place. Our stay was perfectly relaxing and you will have to look hard to find a better host! Urs made everything very easy and he is a true Gent. So many things to like and enjoy about the place, from very peaceful early morning walks enjoying the sunrise, to the silent pitch dark nights with spectacular night sky views. I believe this is a place you could thoroughly enjoy during any season and at any time. Many thanks again Urs for making us feel at home. Kind regards Greicy, Paul and Harvey!

Unusual night on a houseboat (2-4 people)

TinaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We felt super comfortable on Marie-Laure's houseboat. It was really special for us. The boat is kept simple but really clean and well-equipped. You have everything you need. We spent a lot of time on the sun deck: you have a lot of peace and a great view there. The area is also really fantastic: you can borrow a kayak or the like right next door and drive through the canal to the nearby lake. Supermarket, bakery, restaurants and bars are also right around the corner. The host, Marie-Laurie, was super friendly and very helpful. It was a pleasure meeting you in meeting her. All in all, really highly recommended!!

HouseBoat "La Dolce Vita"

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
a different kind of accommodation! You feel like a little captain on the houseboat. Everything very clean, great view of the water. The hot tub was the highlight for my teenagers! We were only there one night, but the houseboat was perfect for that. For a longer stay, I recommend a maximum of 2 people.

What an exceptional place to stay for a few unforgettable days on the water! Sitting in the living room and watching the ducks and swans pass by... relaxation is easy. Highly recommended for cooler days due to the great pellet stove!

Houseboat By Or

AmineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a pleasant weekend in the Houseboat. It's really an unusual place, where we're lulled by the small waves, and the boat owners are respectful. Alexandre was super responsive every time we had contact together. Note that you must follow the instructions that Alexandre provides in the videos. If you hear the sound of the pump, it's normal, you just have to draw a little water (or flush). We recommend this place 100%. Thanks again. I'll see you.
