The Salt House dates back to the 14th century but has been stylishly upgraded to provide comfortable and well-appointed accommodation with contemporary decor and furnishings. Apple TV, unlimited high-speed internet, Bose speaker. The beautiful River Sarthe, visible from the living room window, is a stone's throw away - enjoy river walks, boating and picnics here.
Our Mission Statement is simple – we want to provide guests with high-quality, functional, and comfortable vacation home rentals at an affordable price. Any excess returns we have from our rentals are turned-around and used to upgrade our properties to enhance our guests’ stay. We created ‘Salt House Properties’ as a means to provide ourselves with vacation rentals in places we like to visit. Our model is we would not stay in a hotel for any length of time unless it meets certain quality standards – high standards. We (Carol and Michael) are cousins and business partners who enjoy running our holiday rentals company (Salt House Properties) with vacation properties in northern France and Italy. Michael is Canadian, lives in the United States and travels frequently to Europe. Carol is British and currently lives in France.
The Salt House is situated in one of the most picturesque regions of the Pays de la Loire with views from the living room to the beautiful River Sarthe and a short cycle ride or drive from the attractive villages of Parce-sur-Sarthe, Solesmes, Asnieres. Sable-sur-Sarthe is the nearest town (15-minute drive away) where there is the river-boat marina, chateau and all facilities. A little further afield are the famous cities of Le Mans, Nantes, Tours, Angers. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling and quiet relaxation.
