Maison d'Hercule

"De locatie was prachtig. Een schitterend en historisch verantwoord ingericht "petit palais" midden in de stad Mayenne. De host Robert was super gastvrij en bezorgd of ik het wel naar mijn zin had. Mijn elektrische auto moest gedurende een nacht geladen worden en hij haalde voor mij zijn eigen auto uit zijn garage, zodat ik daar mijn auto gedurende de nacht kon opladen. (nothing but the best for my guest) Heerlijk stil in huis en in de tuin bij het geluid van een fonteintje heerlijk ontspannen een boek gelezen."

"Alles was top. Een heel klein minpuntje dat mijn slaapkamer (bovenste verdieping) geen luiken had waardoor laat in de middag de zon fel de kamer in scheen. Daardoor werd het soms een beetje warm, maar een ventilator bood goede uitkomst."

"Fantastisch ontvangst na een dag door de regen fietsen. Fietsen kunnen veilig binnenstaan. Gastvrije en vriendelijke eigenaar. Verrassend pand in Rococo stijl."

"An excellent few days spent here with a very helpful host, full of tips and advice on the area."

"Robert was very friendly and accommodating, the house itself is beautiful, and decorated in a stylish manner. Definitely a change from the usual. Garden was lovely for a quiet sun-downer too."

"It's not often that you get the chance to stay in a stately home complete with chandeliers and antique furniture without paying a significant amount of money. Robert has generously opened up his beautiful 1870 mansion so it is within the reach of normal travellers. The house is exquisite, has so much character and beautiful furniture. We felt very privileged to stay there. There is also a lovely garden, a place to store our bikes and a kitchen to make hot drinks. Robert is a very kind and gracious host."

"Leaving...I really wished we had stayed longer."

"The most beautifully restored, grand town house oozing character and elegance. Very comfortable room/bathroom and the added bonus of a kitchen for guests to use at the top of the house. Robert was a great host."

"Nothing"

"Robert's home is amazing. You can tell he painstakingly renovated his property and put all his heart and love into it. Very tasteful decoration, and the rare feeling (nowadays) of spending time in a friend's home and not a hotel-like setting. We loved chatting a bit with Robert, and we hope we'll have a chance to come back soon. Thank you, Robert!"

"Nothing - it was amazing."

"One of the highlights of our cycle trip was staying at Maison d'Hercule. The Maison was stunning, set in the centre of Mayenne, yet very peaceful with beautiful garden to enjoy. Robert was a extremely charming host and we really enjoyed meeting him and learning about the restoration of the Maison. The room & bathroom were amazing, beautiful and clean with lovely personal touches. Thank you Robert - we wish you all the best"

"N/A it was just perfect for us"

"This is a one-of-a-kind experience. The attention to detail and the thought put into the restoration and decoration of Maison d’Hercule is pretty stunning, and Robert is such a nice and welcoming host. We had a wonderful one-night stay while bike touring and so glad we chose this place, from relaxing in the garden with sweet Stella to the super comfortable room and bonus ability to use a lovely kitchen/lounging space and chatting to Robert about the history of the house and Mayenne itself. We hope to visit again."

"Nothing - really is perfect and we had a perfect stay."

"Historic building, parking across the street. Robert was very accommodating and warm, would visit again."
