A retreat waiting for you!

AmiLou Portland, Oregion, USA
Review Submitted: October 23, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My mother and I found Le Petit Bijou three weeks into a five week visit to Europe. The property was a wonderful haven from the hectic cities and hotel environments that dominated our trip. Jane, the proprietress, is a wealth of information on the area suggesting an outing to Saumur Castle and a truly memorable farmer’s market. She was even able to clue us into the hottest bistro to hang out in after the event. It was one of the highlights of the trip.

Having access to the kitchen, fully equipped with everything needed to set an elegant table of pasta, was a wonderful break from our travel routine. Additionally, the bathroom is spacious and elegant with a touch of rustic décor, much like the rest of the house.

I highly recommend staying a week or longer to truly absorb the restfulness of the house and the area. Our four day stay was simply too short, but we will be back!

La Petite Bijou - a charming cottage

linda&kevin Lockington, East Yorkshire, England
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We spent a lovely two weeks at La Petite Bijou in September. The cottage was charming with everything as promised, a very warm welcome on arrival and helpful advice throughout our stay about the best places to visit and local restaurants. Bijou was very clean, peaceful, and private and also proved to be an ideal base for our touring of the Loire area by both car and cycle. The surrounding countryside, villages,lakes and woods were ideal for local trips (and getting pleasantly lost!) whilst the chateaux and gardens of the Loire from Angers to Tours were within easy reach – but it was always a pleasure to retreat to the calm of Bijou and enjoy some local wine and evening sunshine on the terrace. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay with some wonderful holiday memories and lots of photos!. Many thanks to Jane, a lovely host.

Luxury Cottage in the Loire

TJWUSA USA
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Ideally situated near the beautiful city of Saumur, La Petit Bijou is a destination in itself! Sumptuously decorated and immaculately clean with all mod-cons including wi-fi and British television channels plus a fabulous library of videos and music. A premiere property in the style of French/Anglo country homes, and the host and hostess give fabulous insider tips that make your trip all the more memorable. Thanks to them, we discovered the best of village and city life in the lovely Loire valley, including modestly priced plat du jour cuisine by a recently relocated Parisien chef! Petit Bijou boasts beautiful gardens for unwinding or a terrace that is perfect for sipping the superb regional Saumur produced sparkling wines (aka champagne).

Our hostess' background in antiques and interior design created a wonderful backdrop to our adventures--Petit Bijou is truly beautiful in every detail--and the sunny, cheerful rooms are so inviting that we are planning a trip to the cottage off-season. But what was especially nice was the fact that the cottage was so comfortable and inviting that we looked forward to spending time there at the end of every day. We can truly say that we were able to unwind and experience the best vacation ever.
