Montilliers

Montilliers is a small rural village in the Maine-et-Loire department, in the Pays de la Loire region, located in the Saumur area just a few kilometres from Saumur and Vihiers. The village sits within a gently rolling Anjou landscape of fields, meadows and small woodlands, offering a peaceful, green setting. The area enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, with mild summers and gentle winters, well suited to outdoor activities such as walking and cycling along the surrounding country lanes. Montilliers lies close to the Anjou-Saumur vineyards, known for their white and rosé wines, as well as for the troglodyte cellars carved into the local tuffeau stone that characterises the region. Those interested in heritage can easily reach Saumur, famous for its château overlooking the Loire and its national riding academy, or Doué-la-Fontaine with its well-known rose gardens. Staying in Montilliers offers the chance to enjoy an authentic rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the main tourist and cultural sites of the Saumur area and the Loire Valley.
