La Juquaise
Holiday home with garden
Description
La Juquaise is a vast property in the heart of the Loire region. The main building is a magnificent monumental building dating from the 18th century. Your holiday home, located next door, has been tastefully renovated by the French owners, who have divided the land in two, to give you all the privacy you need during your holidays. The accommodation can accommodate 6 adults and 2 children maximum (bunk beds not suitable for adults).
The Mayenne river is about 8km from the house where you can swim. The city of Angers is quickly accessible, but also Nantes, Le Mans and Rennes. Mont Saint-Michel, Le Puy du Fou or even Saint-Malo are particularly attractive for a day trip. If you prefer to stay in the area, you can take beautiful walks in the immediate surroundings.
You enter the estate through your own driveway. In your private garden you find many places to enjoy nature and silence in the sun. Opposite the single storey house is an old unused barn. Through a small entrance you access the corridor where the three bedrooms and the bathrooms are located. Then you come into the modern kitchen and living room.

Fully equipped. Wonderfully spacious and great if you want a quiet environment. Large kitchen and living room. And plenty of space to sit outside
The owner (and both dogs ;-)) was very friendly. The house is beautifully situated in peace and quiet, you can make various excursions nearby: Le Mans, Angers, Chateau Brissac and Chateau Serrant. However, the double bed (slatted base is damaged) and chairs in the kitchen need to be replaced. We also recommend providing a drying rack and additional kitchen utensils.
Unfortunately this property is not at all as described and we were very disappointed when we holidayed there in April 22. The gite we booked, looked lovely in the photos, it listed all the amenities we look for and in the listing it mentions paying for heating at a cost of 8 Euros a night. When we got to the gite, it was absolutely freezing, we were told we would be charged for electricity (no mention of the cost), no tv and the whole house smelt damp. There were electric heaters in the 3 bedrooms and also in the shower room and main bedroom en-suite, however, there is no heating in the living room, kitchen, toilet and corridors. We were told to light the fire which would heat the house. We did manage to light the fire despite being left no fire lighting equipment (for instance kindling/fire lighters/newspaper etc) but it made very little difference despite being on for 5+ hours. The living room and kitchen went from 13C to 16C and then the temperature started falling. We were so cold we sat with multiple layers with blankets around us. We slept in 4 layers, including having to wear thick jumpers to bed. By the second day and despite contacting the owners, we were miserable and we also started to feel unwell due to the extreme cold and damp, which is not what is hoped when you book a holiday especially at over 1,000 Euros cost! Hence we left and returned home to the UK, something we have never had to do in over 10 years of booking holiday cottages. I would not recommend this gite to anyone, which is a shame as the area, from what we saw, looked to be good to explore. I would also not recommend booking anything through Belvilla, due to their terrible customer service.
+ Accueil chaleureux, cadre magnifique et calme, gîte restauré avec goût- Chambres assez humides (odeur de moisi), pas d"activités sur place, pas de télé, micro-onde et étendoir auraient été pratiquesDans l"ensemble, unable recommandé!+ Warm reception, nice and quiet environment, tastefully restored gte- Rooms quite damp (musty smell), no activities on site, no TV, microwave and drying rack would have been practical Overall a pleasant and recommended stay!
We were met and given a tour, the area is very quiet and rural.
Immediately a pleasant feeling on arrival, the holiday start meets expectations!
