Lovely, quiet property with a number of different sized self contained units, some of which are built into the side of the rockface. Nice size swimming pool, although we didn’t use this facility as the weather was fairly cool and it is unheated. Staff were very helpful and approachable and happy to make restaurant reservations for you, if desired. Breakfast is available onsite at an additional cost but we didn’t take this up as we are not big breakfast eaters. Liked the eco friendly toiletries provided and the disposable slippers. Nespresso coffee machine provided with a couple of pods too.

Not much that’s negative to say. Only that we had the family annex and the downstairs toilet had an unpleasant odour.

Like stepping into a fairy tale! We absolutely loved our stay. What a special historic place, so lovingly restored and maintained. Veronique and her staff were above and beyond welcoming, warm, and helpful. We loved everything about our stay, from the thoughtful eco-friendly touches to the delicious breakfast to the gorgeous grounds, which you could easily wander about and enjoy at your leisure. If you are looking for a unique home base in the Loire Valley for your chateaux road trip, this is perfect. Just keep in mind that you need a car, as there’s not much you can walk to in the immediate area (although there is a delightful bakery right down the lane!). We had our dinners in nearby Amboise, which had free parking and offered lots of dining options. I will never forget the view of a sunrise and mist in the valley down below, from the gorgeous Chateau de Nazelles!

Veronique spoke wonderful English and was able to help every day to recommend restaurants and book reservations.

The breakfast was not really worth $15 E, and it was awkward to ask for every little bite they offered. Wevwould have liked to be able to drink our own wine purchased at the wine tasting locations across France. We were told we needed to buy the wine from Chateau Nazelles, which was new to us as we had stayed there 10 years ago. The WIFI was annoying as it rarely worked in the room. I believe they will change this.

A magnificent fairytale stay. My biggest regret is that we only booked for one night. Our trip felt like luxury from our arrival; we were greeted by wonderful staff who allowed us to check in early. Despite other hotel guests, the chateau felt like our own haven with plenty of space around the pool, gardens and spacious bedroom area; the sound of the birds and the gardeners floating around the grounds offered relaxation with incredible views. The staff were flawless and couldn’t do enough for us, even offering us a ride into town for our meal (we recommend L’Ecluse - booking required!). The breakfast was sensational with a wide range of pastry, bread, fruit and their own honey; we were asked for personal preferences and fresh juice and boiled eggs were presented. The local wine offered an even further essence of authenticity which we enjoyed looking over the Loire Valley from the garden. The pool area is unique and like nothing we have experienced before, a suntrap all day long with comfortable loungers. Poppy the dog was additionally a great member of the team! Thank you Veronique, Rhiannon and the team for your incredible hospitality; we will be back!

Not a dislike as such, as the distance is advertised, but it would take 50 minutes to walk into Amboise from the hotel so be aware of this if you do not have a car or transport - however the lovely owner provided us with a ride down to the town and we got a taxi ride back up. Incredible town, do not let this put you off! Plenty of transport options.

The Chateau is a lovely oasis outside of Amboise. Veronique and her staff made our stay even better with their cheerful helpfulness in reserving restaurants and answering questions. We stayed in the little annex, which sits in the courtyard. I was a little worried about noise since it is close to the parking area, but it was nice and quiet at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

What’s not to like about staying in a 500 year old castle? Wonderful view from our castle window, beautiful gardens surrounding the chateau, warm and welcoming staff and close to all the major chateaux and the beautiful town of Amboise.

Steep stairs to our room in the turret, but that goes with the territory, and the helpful staff carried our 2 suitcases up the stairs for us.

This is really cool old Chateau; we stayed in the troglodyte suite, it was truly unique. It was naturally cool, a bit too humid, but liveable. Need to pack light since there’s a set of stone stairs to get to the suite. Beautiful view from an outside soaking tank. Really good breakfast.

It’s part of the uniqueness, but the stairs are somewhat uneven.

We had a great stay. Veronica was really nice and very helpful, happy to share lists of recommended restaurants etc. The hotel itself was idyllic, perhaps one of the most picturesque settings we’ve stayed. Local walks through vineyards, a great bakery nearby. Really couldn’t ask for more.

Only minor thing was the lack of Wi-Fi in our room (which we were warned may not reach that particular room). If we had that this would have been perfect 10/10.

The property was nestled in a beautiful area and was perfect for our plans to visit chateaux and relax. We loved taking a bottle of wine with a baguette and cheese into one of the lovely gardens, sometimes by ourselves and other times joined by others who were staying there. The whole stay was wonderful!

We were worried at first when we learned that there was no air conditioning ( there was a heat wave when we visited) but it ended up not really bothering us; the owner let us use a fan in the room and it kept us comfortable at night.

Everything is perfect! The pool is magical, the forest behind the chateau is gorgeous and the views looking out toward the valley are amazing. The gardens are so relaxing in the evenings. The laundry was so welcomed! The owner Veronique was so gracious and even picked me up at the train station. The location is so close to Amboise yet you are in the country! The staff is amazing and did everything to make my stay incredible especially Christobel! She arranged all of my rides into town and did everything with a smile. The room in the main house with the old bathtub and shower had an amazing view. I hated to leave! I will always stay here when I am lucky enough to return.

Nothing. The stairs to my room were easily overcome when they quickly helped with my bags. if something is not perfect, they will make it so. Amazing.
