+ This is a room and private bathroom in a house with 11 rental rooms and a common living/dining room, kitchen, and garden with an outdoor dining set up. It is beautifully done. A gorgeous old building renovated with great care and style. The kitchen is wonderful, and sharing it not an issue. The rooms have great quality bedding and wonderful new bathrooms. The woman who comes to clean every day does an outstanding job. The owner doesn't live on the premises but checks up regularly and sees that everything is in order. It's been fun to meet others staying there. Very quiet at night, a peaceful spot, on a beautiful street in walking distance to everything important. A fantastic find!

- It would be good to have a fan in the room when it's hot. But love everything else about the beautiful space. It would be good to have a fan in the room when it's hot. But love everything else about the beautiful space.

+ Posizione centrale per visitare Saumur e parcheggio comodo in strada (molto tranquilla). Casa con numerose stanze, ma pulita e tenuta bene. Gli spazi comuni (cucina, sala da pranzo, giardino) sono confortevoli e attrezzati. Letto molto comodo e camera spaziosa. Bagno pulitissimo e nuovo con doccia grande. NOTA: non c'è ascensore. Per me non è un punto negativo semplicemente perchè la struttura è chiaramente storica e non si può pretendere di averlo.
− Un po' rumoroso considerando che le scale sono di legno e quindi si sentono gli altri inquilini muoversi. Bagno privato ma fuori dalla stanza. La cucina è attrezzata ma considerando il numero di ospiti potenziali qualche posata / tazza / piatto in più non guasterebbe.
