Description for B&B:
The PLESSIS BELLEVUE MANOR, located in Saumur in the Loire Valley, is a historic eighteenth-century mansion that has a strong connection to VICTOR HUGO, the renowned Poet, Playwright, Novelist, and Politician (1802-1885). It was once the residence of his close friend and personal physician, EMILE LEON-ALLIX (1836-1911), and the famous writer stayed there on multiple occasions.Under the careful renovation by Alain Nicolas and Veronique Coquema, the BELLEVUE MANOR PLESSIS has been transformed into a charming guest house that seamlessly combines comfort and the authentic "Art de Vivre French" experience. The property boasts a beautiful landscaped garden and a heated swimming pool that offers breathtaking views of the city of Saumur and the Loire River.
The main house of the manor features a large lounge with a library and a spacious dining room, along with five historically styled suites that provide all the modern comforts discreetly (including private bathrooms or showers, WiFi, safes, satellite TVs, and flat screens). Additionally, there is a cottage, called THE COTTAGE, which is a fully equipped Gite de France with a lounge and three bedrooms (including handicap accessible facilities).
Another section of the manor, known as the FLAG VICTOR HUGO, houses a billiard room with a French balcony and an Eiffel staircase that offers stunning views of the Loire. This area also includes a designated smoking area (for cigars) called The Den BACCHUS, making it suitable for small receptions or events.
Furthermore, there is the FLAG Plantagenets, which features an indoor fitness spa with a jacuzzi, a massage room, and a ping pong table adorned with paintings by contemporary masters.
The PLESSIS BELLEVUE MANOR also provides the perfect setting for local and intimate receptions in its beautifully landscaped gardens. Whether it be weddings, birthdays, events, or private seminars, the manor offers a picturesque venue to host these occasions.
