Luxury gites & B&B, near Saumur, in 18thC former wine estate, heated pool

Le Pressoir is the estate’s former 'wine pressing house' complete with huge cave beneath. Sleeping up to 6 (plus cot), it is the largest of our gites and sympathetically restored to a high standard with exposed tuffeau stonework, stained glass windows and unique glazed tower. With 3 good size bedrooms downstairs (all en-suite, 1 bathroom and 2 shower rooms all with private toilet), it is perfect for comfortably accommodating a family or group of friends. The bedrooms are traditionally furnished with quality bed linen. The upstairs open-plan living area works well for entertaining, with a fully equipped kitchen and large comfy sofas for relaxing in the lounge area. The kitchen leads directly out onto a beautiful raised oak terrace. This child-safe deck offers complete seclusion and shade and has wonderful views over the grounds; perfect for mealtimes and enjoying the glorious sunsets. Alternatively, the ground floor sun terrace is great for barbecuing and overlooks the garden.



Le Logis du Pressoir is an 18th Century former wine estate, set in the historic hamlet of Brion in 5 acres of beautiful, secluded grounds complete with a mini-vineyard and fruit orchard. It is the ideal retreat for holidaying as a couple, a family or with friends, offering tranquility and relaxation in a delightful setting. Children adore the freedom to explore and play in our extensive grounds, while parents relax close by. Great care has been taken in the renovation to preserve its unique features and charm whilst providing every comfort and high quality amenities. Each gite is well equipped for your self-catering needs; family and French cookery enthusiasts alike. Guests always comment on our attention to detail and the child friendly nature of the property. Enjoy our heated pool, boules, table tennis, bikes and great walking and cycling straight from the garden. After a day sightseeing, it's the perfect place to take a dip, read, paint, or just unwind with an aperitif.


Additional Information:: We have a selection of reading material in each gite as well as a central collection of books, board games and an extensive DVD collection available to all guests.
Having a young child ourselves, there are plenty of children's games and toys (indoors and outdoors) to make good use of. We also have a dedicated play area with swing and slide, playhouse and cars and tricycles.
There are lakes nearby with sandy beach areas for paddling and using buckets and spades, which make a great alternative to days by the pool.

Owners on site: As owners on site, Mark and Lisa are always available to help with anything you might need to ensure you have a really enjoyable and comfortable holiday.

Loire Stay
We had a great holiday, the hosts were very helpful, and the gite was all we could ask for. Very clean, well supplied, lots of info about the sites and local area etc. the gardens were lovely and very good pool. The gite itself had a lovely high deck next to the kitchen for meals and a separate bbq area. Great holiday, great hosts, would definitely go again. Thank you Lisa and Mark

Perfect relaxing stay in the Loire Valley
My wife and I stayed at Le Pressoir, the largest of the Gites available although it was just the two of us. We selected it for the deck area that is off the kitchen. The photos and actual deck are perfect to relax after a long day of sight seeing in the Loire Valley. It overlooks the estate and allowed us privacy for dining and relaxing outside with a glass of wine, bread and cheese. The Gite itself is setup very well. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all downstairs, and the temperature stays cool there, perfect for sleeping. The walls are very thick to accommodate this and to block sound. We stayed over two nights that had tremendous thunderstorms, but we barely heard it from the bedroom. A few days we were here were 90 degrees F (32C), but the downstairs remained very cool. The upstairs cooled off when we opened the door leading to the deck. Everything was clean, lots of cooking supplies provided, and Lisa and Mark leave a nice welcome package of Baguette, Wine, and other goodies - very thoughtful. Lisa is very friendly and helpful for anything necessary. We chatted with her a few times throughout our stay and enjoyed our conversations. The location is close to Angers and relatively close to Tours. If you are looking to go to many of the castles on the Eastern side of the Valley, it is a bit of a drive. However, we didn't mind and ended up going to Bourges for a day.

Superb all round
We had an extremely enjoyable week with our son and his wife and their two young children. It was ideal for the whole party, perfect for the children with outdoor toys in the beautiful extensive grounds. The pool was wonderful, beautifully maintained and the ideal temperature. Lisa and Mark are extremely helpful and friendly hosts, and we found their gite a most relaxing and comfortable place to stay and very much hope to return.

Great hosts and lovely property
Mark & Lisa are super helpful and even went the extra mile to help one of our party with their covid tests. Le Pressoir is a great property and the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and well equipped. We really liked the outdoor seating area which gave a bit of extra living space. The pool is really nice abs very well cleaned and maintained by Mark 😀

Fantastic family holiday
We had a fantastic holiday here, staying in the pressoir with our two and a half year old daughter. The property is really toddler friendly, safe and well equipped with everything you need from stair gates to a potty, high chair and toddler cutlery. Sun deck is safe, and from there you can see the garden. Loads of ride on toys, Wendy house, mini football pitch and of course a gated off heated pool!! You could spend your whole time just hanging out at the property and have a brilliant time. But... of course there is the local area to explore. So many options we hardly scratched the surface. Even with a toddler there was so much to choose from, a brilliant zoo, caves, chateaus, Terra Botanica gardens.... add to this the French food, and daily delivery from the local baker and the warm weather and we had a truly wonderful time! Lisa, Mark and Tom live in the main house and are lovely, friendly and super helpful hosts. Always on hand with suggestions and tips for days out, and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you so much!!! We hope we might return one day x
