About this property

UNUSUAL and NEW! Amazing huge houseboat Gloriette de Loire ♥
This fully private houseboat offers a large space, cosy for holidays with all facilities. Safety area in the "chic" island of Saumur.
Fully equiped kitchen with dishwasher, fridge and freezer, oven coffe machine, boiler... italian style shower in mosaïc, large bards or single beds, separate automatic toilets, WIFI....
This is an amazing fully private traditional boat of the Loire river. A very confortable and large self catering boat moored just in front of the castel of Saumur.
In close proximity you will find:
Traditional commerce and markets
Historicalcity center right opposite
Boarding pier right opposite
In summer time gigs in town

The boat makes the perfect place for a rest or to watch the castle and the historical city at night.

Nostalgia! The boat is a creation of the first copy of a wash houseboat in France built year 1895 with all facilities and great confort.
We rent as well an other houseboat the LOIRE ROMANCE moored just behind and a self catering independent rental , a beautiful place located at the first floor of the family nineteenth century villa : the VILLA DE LOIRE.

Fantastic

We stayed here last September and came back for longer this year. Although la Loire was very low because of very hot and dry summer and we had a large almost private beach outside the boat, this didn’t affect the fact that this is a stunning location with the best view in Saumur! Just so beautiful and relaxing. Owner very friendly and helpful. Thanks Georges! See you next time!

Fabulous location, very relaxing

A wonderful four days spent here in early September. The location is unbeatable with stunning views across the river and the chateau. Lots of wildlife - we saw otters, unusual birds - and there are a lot of fish in la Loire which swim around the boat. A very comfortable accommodation, lots of space for a small boat, well appointed and clean. The walk into Saumur centre takes about 10 minutes and is very pleasant. The choice of restaurants is good. We had several excellent meals. We will definitely be back! Thanks, Arnelles and George!
