Les Passetries
About the home
Les Passetries nestles on the edge of the quaint village of Vernoil-le-Fourrier with just a short journey on to the beautiful, historical town of Saumur. Traditional fireplaces (with woodburners for winter) and rustic beams give a relaxed feel to this charming farmhouse. Two spacious bedrooms sleeping 5 + baby, make this gite an ideal getaway for families or couples.
The outdoor swimming pool set within an ancient stone terrace is an ideal spot to relax in the sun. During the evening, switch on the floodlights, light the barbeque and enjoy a glass of wine from one of the nearby vineyards. Tall entrance gates ensure the garden is both safe and secluded. This beautiful area of the Loire Valley provides plenty of attractions – from winemaking to Troglodyte villages, or a day spent relaxing on the shores of the lake at Rille.

I came here with my family and we had the nicest holiday. The weather was glorious and the pool was very popular with me and my cousins. Shops and days out are just a short drive away and we kept ourselves busy everyday. The accommodation was perfect and very comfortable. The great facilities were clean and simple to use, and the house and garden was so spacious. Perfect for any ages, I can't wait to return! Thank you to the owners! |

With excellent directions to find the property, we were delighted to walk through the rose and lily filled flower beds leading to the front door. Opening the stable-door we were pleased to see in the sparkling kitchen, on the table, a welcome letter and a bottle of wine. The beginning of a lovely fortnights' holiday. Comfortable beds with en-suite facilities and constant hot water; all necessary mod-cons provided. Within the large gardens we were able to find eating areas in the sun or shade, and the pool proved a good place to cool off - especially as we were blessed with very hot weather. The gite was very spacious; just like home-from-home. Congratulations to the owners!! |

We have had the pleasure of staying at Les Passetries twice and on both occasions have had wonderful holidays. The house is very well presented and well stocked with enough books and DVDs to keep the adults and children amused during lazy days. There are many interesting places to visit with vineyards, châteaus and beautiful towns all very close at hand. The children had a fantastic time in the garden and (especially) the pool which is set in a gorgeous mediterranean-style terrace complete with its own fig-tree! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Les Passetries and hope to return soon. We found the owners to be very accommodating and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely house for your holiday. |
