Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a very French design and felt roomy, but it needs some updating. My stay was enjoyable overall despite a minor issue with the shower not working at the time. The rooms would benefit from upgrading to enhance the experience.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I appreciated the historical French feel of the somewhat dated rooms, which added a nice touch to our five-star experience. However, the cost of nearly 200 Euros for a 'superior' room was not in line with our expectations.
The hotel had some nice aspects, like a pleasant room in one of the outbuildings, but fell short of our 'superior' room expectations. The service was friendly overall, especially from the sommelier and barman, but lacked in terms of flexibility. The location was picturesque and ideal for exploring the Loir Valley region, although it had some constraints around accessibility. The dining experience was of mixed quality, with a standout breakfast but room for improvement in reflecting the region's produce.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the historical French feel in the rooms was charming, they were old and not up to superior standards, which was disappointing. The service, on the other hand, was wonderful, with a friendly and helpful staff. The location was lovely, offering a beautiful view of the valley, but could use a bit of investment. The dining experience had its shortcomings, especially considering the region's abundance of fresh produce. Overall, the facilities were decent, but there were some areas that needed attention.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though not as stylish as the pictures online, was cozy, but accessing it through narrow stairs with luggage was a hassle. The service was fantastic, especially from the sommelier and the barman, who even treated us to free champagne for a slight mix-up. The location, perched on a hill with a view of the valley, was stunning, but the surrounding area was not ideal for relaxation. The dining experience in the ancient hall fell short with disappointing coffee, but the restaurant's cuisine was excellent. Overall, the stay had its charms and drawbacks.
