Testimonials

"We had a wonderful stay and you made us feel very welcome. The lodge was very tastefully done, and well equipped, and the garden was also beautiful. Our only regret was that our stay was so short! We, indeed, hope to see you again, especially as the Loire wines keep inviting us back!" Hillary & Richard (UK - June 2023)
Thank you both so much for hosting us at beautiful La Penesais!! We had such a wonderful time and were all very sad to leave. It was the highlight of our trip. We already can’t wait to come back to France and La Penesais." Kris & David (Australia - September 2023)
