Welcome to a charming bed & breakfast in the heart of the vineyards
Welcome to our guest house with its antiques/flea market showroom, nestled in the heart of the Saumur and Anjou appellation vineyards, not forgetting the famous 'Côteaux du Layon', a white and sweet wine !
This old house with its thick walls is located in Les Verchers sur Layon, a few minutes from Doué la fontaine. If you like antiques, you can have a look at the items that the owners collected all their life long and are selling now.
Your room
It is located in an independent building, opposite the owners' house.
It is on 2 levels: on the ground floor, you have a bedroom with 1 double bed of 160 cm and a toilet. By taking a spiral staircase, you reach the 1st floor where there is a small living room, the shower room and a refrigerator with a selection of local wines. Many flyers with places to visit in the area are waiting for you.
The room has an ideal temperature in case of strong heat thanks to the thickness of its walls and is well heated in winter. Be careful of the beams which are a little low in places!
A welcome tray with water, tea, coffee and herbal tea is offered to you.
