We had a wonderful stay here with our 2 year old. The apartment is nice, very well equiped with everything you would need, bedrooms are very roomy and the location is superb! Its a short drive to a lot of interesting sites. Valerie was very kind and helpfull. We would recommend spending your holiday here!

We had a very enjoyable stay and were made to feel very welcome. The property is very well looked after and comfortable. We visited the Troglodyte caves at Rochemenier as well as the Chateau and Collegiale St Martin (free on last Sunday of the month) in Angers. Quite a few museums were shut on the Monday. You don't actually need to do anything as it is lovely to sit or walk along by the river just a few yards away! Would certainly think of returning.

My husband, our 10-year old daughter and I had the most amazing week in Ecouflant. The apartment is stunning: fully equipped, beautifully furnished and located in a quiet village close to a river. There is a large garden, which our daughter enjoyed exploring, a separate entrance and plenty of parking with a security of an electronically lockable gate. The village itself is quaint and so pretty - there is a small but well-stocked supermarket (there are larger shops in Angers, perhaps 10-15 minutes away), a couple of bars, and a very friendly bakery. There was live music both weekends in the nearby park, which just added to an already very French atmosphere. We were lucky with the weather and ended up spending a couple of afternoons by the nearby lake which has a man-made beach (lifeguards are also on duty). However, the lake offers a perfect opportunity for long walks if the weather is not very beach-like. We also made several trips, including a couple to Angers to do a self-guided walk, visit the castle and jump on a sightseeing train that takes its passengers around all the main tourist attractions. We also spent a splendid day at the Terra Botanica park, one of the most beautifully maintained theme parks we have ever visited. There were hardly any queues and our 10-year old didn't want to leave at the end of the day. We also visited a couple of nearby chateaux. There is plenty to do in the vicinity and even more if you are prepared to take a short drive. Valerie and her family were ever so welcoming and created a truly unique holiday spot that would suit small families, like ours, couples looking for a romantic getaway, or artists/writers/professionals looking for some peace and quite or inspiration and time to work. A perfect holiday for us and one we will definitely be repeating. Thank you.

A lovely apartment that is adjacent to a village church and the Sarthe River. Plenty of room for our family and was clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Walking distance to a market and a bakery. We enjoyed going out each evening and watching the sunset on the river. Absolutely stunning! The village is quiet and safe and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there while exploring the area. Our hostess was helpful with making us feel at home as well as showing us maps and giving us tips on touring. We loved it so much we are going to stay again in a few weeks. Overall an incredible experience.

The apartment was warm, cosy and well equipped and located close to the river in a quiet village a few kilometres from the city of Angers. The cycling path alongside the river where on a cold, bright winter's morning we saw very little other than a solitary heron from time to time provides an idyllic route into Angers. The local people were warm and friendly and Valerie, our landlady, was very friendly and helpful. Getting into the front door without being followed by a very eager black or tabby cat was an amusing challenge! We would highly recommend this apartment and location.

The property was a cool and bright apartment in a beautiful house on the banks of the river Sarthe. The house was simple but well equipped with everything you could need for a holiday including lots of maps and information. The owner was also most accommodating about our timings of arrival and departure.The village provided basics of boulangerie, general store and bar + we were delighted to find the pizza van on a Monday and a pop up summer restaurant at the weekend. The supermarket was less than 15 minutes away and the centre of Angers with plenty of easy parking not much more. We took advantage of the Angers tourist card which for 29 Euros included entrance to all the major sites in Angers and the area and included the delightful Terra Botanica "theme park". There was also canoeing and the boat on the river but only on certain days. Also on the edge of the village was a lovely lake with wooded walks and swimming beach which helped us greatly in the heatwave. Only a few minutes from the motorway system this was a great place to stay and explore a less touristy part of the Loire valley whilst having easy access to places further afield if wanted. We really enjoyed our 5 days there and would happily return.
