Homey! Would recommend it to everyone.

The host is very concerned with her guests comfort and therefore thought of everything. Her attention to detail is what makes the stay so special, she even put fresh flowers on the bedside table.

Fantastic location and wonderful hosts.

My hosts were extremely helpful with details on where to dine and arranging a taxi for me to Sancerre the following day. Breakfast was delicious, and Marit and her husband were most welcoming, assisting me with my luggage up the long staircase. It is a perfect location near the train station with the village within easy walking distance. I had a very pleasant stay - thank you.

La Josephine, with its wonderful host, is an ideal base to explore this part of the Loire Valley.

This is one of the best B&Bs we’ve stayed in. Just five minutes walk from the station to a quiet part of the town. Marit was an exceptional host, so friendly and helpful – nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was not just a breakfast it was a breakfast banquet! Wonderful food including home-made preserves.

Very accommodating, very welcoming - lovely stay

I loved staying at La Josephine. The location is exceptional - close to the train station and the city center. Marit et Herve treated me like an old friend. Since I was traveling alone, I especially appreciated this. The breakfast was very good - and so typically French, which I loved! Her coffee was excellent!

What a gem!!

A very comfortable room and excellent shower/bathroom. Marit was great - we didn't arrive until later in the afternoon and she had offered to make reservations for us at a local restaurant within walking distance. We very much appreciated that. Breakfast in the courtyard was excellent! Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Comfortable and warm stay close to town in quiet and old home.

Lovely old property about 500m from town centre with big garden and quiet spots to sit. Separate entrance. First floor bedroom with ensuite. Very comfortable bed. Lovely breakfast served by host Marit and using locally sourced and home made preserves. Wonderful friendly hosts and they will even do a wash load if you are cyclists. It’s just off the Loire route so we’ll located as a stop off. Marit had booked us into a restaurant in town as it was a Saturday and usually booked out. Excellent food and not expensive.

Enjoyable short stay close to many lovely places and not far from Sancerre

Breakfast very good and the location in the town was convenient for exploring and walking by the Loire. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly.The garden was a joyous display of flowers and lavender- not huge, but a lovely place to have breakfast or a picnic.
