Bienvenu au Clos des Guyons
Welcome to our Site which contains details and photo galleries of the Gite, Bed and Breakfast accommodation and Loire Valley Wine Tours available at Le Clos des Guyons in the wine producing Village of Le Puy-Notre- Dame, in the heart of the Saumur vineyards.
We are situated in the west of the Loire Valley in the ancient dukedom of Anjou, the old home and playground of the Kings of France; the Plantegenets, Kings of England. Anjou is home to 26 different wine appellations, sweet, dry, white, rosé, red and sparkling. Famous for its laidback lifestyle, the 'Douceur Angevine. Full of troglodyte houses; mushroom caves; sunflowers and roses; vines, and the renown Loire cuisine; fêtes; horses; walks; cycling; boats; canoes; and, underpinning it all, the majestic Loire and the unique glory of the Chateux.

Gite and Bed and Breakfast holiday accommodation with heated pool in the Loire Valley in the heart of the Saumur vineyards in the Loire Valley, France.
The gites at Le Clos des Guyons are situated on the 'Route Touristique des Vignobles d'Anjou", in the pretty wine producing village of Our accommodation from Pool Le Puy-Notre-Dame, (recently awarded its own wine appellation). Although on the edge of the vineyards, it is only a few minutes walk to the boulangerie, café bar, restaurant, pharmacie, supermarket, post office, hairdresser, and, with three major towns within  a few minute drive, it is an ideal base from which to tour the Chateaux, vineyards and other attractions of the Loire.  The gites have en-suite facilities and
swimming pool and areCourtyard View from the gites exceedingly well equipped to a high standard making exceptional holiday accommodation for our guests. The larger of the two gites is ideal for four people but will sleep six whilst the smaller is designed specifically just for two people although again, the  sofa-bed in the lounge will permit another guest.

The gite prices includes everything from the local tourist tax, free use of bicycles and pool, welcoming aperitifs to sheets and bathroom towels
We are well placed for wine based holidays. Either do your own thing with or without our advice or we can arrange a private wine tour or wine course of the Loire Valley wine appellations.
We have tried to fill the web site with as much information as possible about the gites, the bed and breakfast accommodation and the Loire Valley in
general. So please explore it at your leisure and,, hopefully, we will be able to say to you personally

bienvenu! au Clos des Guyons

Bed and Breakfast:
When we renovated the property we purposely designed all the rooms in the two apartments with en-suite facilities so that they could be used as either Gites or for Bed and Breakfast accommodation; thus each room, when used for the latter, effectively includes a private suite consisting of a lounge area with comfortable sofas, Satellite TV/DVD, library of books, board games, large chess table, all inviting a very relaxing stay!

We have people from all over the world staying with us, from Europe, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa even from as far away as Thailand and Singapore   Click comments* to read all their reviews of our gite and bed and breakfast nBelow is just one example:-

"
Brian and Sheila are the perfect hosts.
We have been renting gîtes for many years
and this is the best and the best value.  
In fact we were initially concerned it was
too cheap!!! We loved the village, the food,
the wine and all the very friendly people.
Take the 10km. walk through the
beautiful countryside it is well worth it!!
We would love to return to Le Puy and
to this great gîte. Thanks for a great holiday."

"IDEAL FOR SHORT BREAK IN LOIRE VALLEY"
Apart from the ferry operators, the growing number of low-cost flights now available means that you can easily rent a weekend gite in the Loire Valley for less money than a short-break in the UK. For example, you can be relaxing in your gite or enjoy your welcoming glass of local sparkling wine, less than two hours after leaving London Stansted Airport, Southampton, East Midlands, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Dublin, Shannon, arriving into a variety of airports, such as Tours, Poitiers, Angers, and Nantes-Atlantique, all within easy driving distance of our gites at Le Clos des Guyons. There are car hire desks at all airports. This easy access is ideal for Spring and Autumn breaks. April and October, in particular can be very warm and pleasant. As I write this, on April 4th., the forecast " for the week is that, apart from one day ,which will be overcast with temperatures down to 14°, the other days are forecast to be sunny with highs of 21°.
We have now added the link below which is a list of current airports from which you can now fly to your Gite in the Loire Valley from almost anywhere in the UK.
