La Maison Blanche

I did not think it possible to find a lovely house in Saumur that was like a five-star hotel. I had my own personal chef, driver, and the use of a Mercedes. The food was fantastic and the wine selections were excellent. The staff were unfailingly courteous and helpful, and requests were carried out with ease and efficiency. I never once had to repeat a request. The overall white décor, I felt, created an impression of calm and well-being. All in all, the arrangements I made with the owner and the agent for a two-week rental were entirely satisfactory, and I hope to repeat the arrangement next summer. - Vincent R.

We made it back to London safely! Thanks for making our week one to remember! We loved every minute. Will send you some photos! Thanks again for all the advice and walking around town! And the dinners, the sitter, my wrinkle-free skin .... you are the ultimate host! - Chantal, Pete, Liam and Dex

Highly recommend scheduling a stay at Le Maison Blanc . Deena, an exceptional host, arranged our daily activities with thoughtful planning, focusing on our likes and interests. We toured Chateauxs, visited vineyards offering wine tastings, walked to shops and participated in local activities, one being people watching in cafes. A driver was provided as needed and three different private chefs were available as requested, or reservations were made when we chose to dine out. We took pleasure in breakfasts and cooking together in that state of the art kitchen. All in all we experienced a memorable two weeks, comparable to a 5 star hotel! - Jon P.

I am writing to give you a fabulous review of our stay at Maison Blanche for two weeks in May / June 2018. I would recommend this property and the town of Saumur to anyone; it is all fantastic. The house is lovely, spacious, and immaculate. Every detail is considered and there is full stocking for anyone who loves to cook and entertain. The pool is a delightful respite, and the patio garden beautiful. The town of Saumur is a destination in itself, absolutely storybook lovely, and it also a great central point for touring the Loire region. I am happy to provide more details about our stay and the places that we toured – this is a food and wine lover’s true dream. Most notably, I feel that I have made a true friend in Maison Blanche’s owner, Deena. She was a delight, acting as our personal concierge, showing us the town and the very best places. Within a day, we felt like real residents of France, which is a lovely thing to be! Deena’s enthusiasm for the town and for all the wonders the region has to offer is infectious. I absolutely plan to return, and I thank you for any involvement you had in making these arrangements. - Jenny F.
