Nine of us, all adults, recently spent a very enjoyable week 'Au pied de l'Abbaye' this September. The house has ample space, is comfortable and well appointed. The enclosed garden, terrace and pool surround provide plenty of opportunities for relaxation and there is space to park several cars. The centre of Fontevraud, the abbey and art museum is less than 10 minutes away by foot and offers a range of very good restaurants and a boulangerie. A host of interesting towns, villages, chateaux etc are within easy reach by car and comprehensive guidance on all of this as well as shopping, medical, recycling and emergency information is provided by the hosts.

Thank you for this kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed our house and garden and appreciated our guidance. We love our village and region and all that they have to offer, and are glad to be able to share them with guests like you.
Ian and Tracey, are fantastic hosts on hand to answer any questions and to do anything they can to make your holiday memorable. We’re already planning to go back next year, this should tell you everything you need to know. Au pied de l’Abbaye is perfectly located in the picturesque village of Fontveraud, in walking distance of everything you need but secluded enough for you to sit back, relax and enjoy the tranquility. The kids loved the pool and the adults all had plenty of places to relax whether that be in sun or shade.

Thank you, Lucy, for this kind review. We are very glad that your group enjoyed themselves so much. We have set up the house so that family groups can be together but have space, and it is always lovely to hear of that being appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you again next year!
We really enjoyed our stay (multigenerational family group, July 2023). The accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the pool, patio and garden were great for outdoor fun and dining. Au pied de l’Abbaye was perfectly located, only a very short walk up the hill into the main square, and also well situated for exploring the surrounding area.
