Splendid Town Mansion in the Heart of Saumur

Property Description

Built in the late 18th century to host receptions for a prominent figure, this remarkable private mansion—with its neoclassical style characteristic of the Directoire period—offers a rare, peaceful living environment in the heart of Saumur’s historic center.
Behind its distinctive façade, the property features spacious reception areas designed for elegant entertaining. A majestic entrance hall leads to a series of four light-filled living rooms, complemented by a large kitchen and a billiards room.
The upper floors feature nine bedrooms, including five sumptuous suites recently renovated with remarkable care, most of which have their own private bathrooms.
