Comfortable, relaxing stay with plenty of space for our 9-person group, with ages from 2 to grandparent. Overall, this is a well-set-up trio of units (plus a caravan) in a rural setting with a combination of privacy and plenty of common spaces, and a good pool. Multiple positives: + Well-equipped kitchen for large groups provided plenty to work with + Separate housing units gave privacy + Individual keys for each room meant coming and going is easy to do, together or in small, separate groups. + Air conditioning in upper floor rooms (2 per unit in the 3-bedroom units) + Plenty of easy parking + Multiple extras available, e.g., portable baby crib, high chair, grill + Outdoor space is wide open with several features (pizza oven, etc.) + Pool has a gradual staircase that works well for young non-swimmers + Lovely nearby winemakers + Near a number of interesting yet not overrun destinations, from the city of Angers (30 min) to Chateau Brissac (15 minutes) to Puy du Fou (1 hour) to riverside villages along the Loire to … Plenty to go and do and see. We must also thank our hosts, Denis and Vincent, for their many recommendations - including their traditional restaurant dug into the limestone, friends who run wineries, restaurants, and cultural sites. They know the area extremely well. A few notes to ensure the right fit with your group: > Air conditioning in 4 units, not in the 2 ground floor units in 3-bedroom units, not in the one BR in the main living area/kitchen, and not one in the caravan. Even with 30-degree-plus days, this was not an issue - except in the caravan, which does get hot. The owners were very open and honest about this. > Pool was available after cleaning each morning at around 10am (or sooner; as soon as it’s clean) - so no early morning swims > No walkable bakeries - short drive (5-10 minutes, depending what you choose - or restaurants, etc. It’s a rural setting so should not be a surprise. And finally, the personal touch from Denis and Vincent throughout added a feeling of having local friends to the experience. Thank you both :-)

Domaine remarquablement entretenu et très bien équipé avec tout le confort souhaité. Cordialement

A very well renovated property which consisted of three separate houses. Perfect for large families/friends as one house “The Cellar”could cater for 26. Top quality furnishings and equipment which demands respect. The pool area was a delight and both small and big kids made the most of it. We were lucky with the weather for our weeks stay. The owners Denis and Vincent went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable ( don’t mention the cakes). We all wish them well for the future.

Denis and Vincent were very welcoming and on hand to help during our stay. Denis speaks good English and even accompanied us to a local vineyard to translate for us. The properties were very well presented and the communal "cellar" was excellent for cooking and dining (all 22 of us), although it was also nice to eat outside in the evenings on the picnic benches. The pool was very useful on hot afternoons, a good size and as clean as everything else on site. The area has some lovely walks and bike rides. The property is surrounded by vineyards and being on top of the hill has some great views. We had some trouble initially finding the property, which is between Chavagnes and Thouarce, just downhill from the D199/D114 junction.

Zeer mooie woning met alle modern comfort. Zeer degelijke keukentoestellen en airco. Meer dan voldoende servies en benodigdheden. Goede bedden. Mooie badkamers. Kortom perfect in orde. Het zwembad en de grote tuin zijn zeer goed onderhouden.

Nous avons passé 2 jours merveilleux au Domaine des Gauliers. Parfaitement équipée, d'une propreté irréprochable, la propriété a permis a chacun de passer le week-end adapté à son rythme et à ses envies. Nous avons pu tous nous réunir pour les repas et soirées, déjeuners dehors et barbecue. C'était absolument parfait !
