"We stayed for two nights and three days, and our stay was absolutely fabulous. We truly experienced the atmosphere of 17th-century life, with the staff dressed in period attire and the château’s decoration and furniture displaying outstanding elegance. Mira, the owner, is an elegant and classy lady. She welcomed us warmly and enthusiastically. The place is full of history, and Leon gave us a wonderful tour of the château, room by room. I fell in love with the château and everything in it. Our room was spacious and faced the garden, with a king-size bed and a large modern bathroom. I loved all the secret doors, intricate closets, and hidden staircases in the chateau. I would like to thank all the staff — from those who welcomed us at the front desk to those who served us during dinner and breakfast. Everyone was polite, courteous, and very helpful. My favorite was Ambreus, who reserved our tickets to the châteaux and assisted us from the beginning until the end of our stay."

"The chateau is nice. It is a four star experience for a high end five star pay. We stayed four nights at this chateau. The people are very nice. The atmosphere is an experience since they try to relive the 17th century. It is well done and good fun. We liked our room, with a good bed and a nice bathroom. The massage in the Spa by mrs Martinique is absolutely fantastic. My wife did the signature day treatment. She came back a different woman. The lunch we had was very good. We appreciated that they did charge our hybrid car for us. However, in our view it is not a five star hotel. It doesnt meet with what you may expect for what you pay. For instance, dinner. At best it was mediocre against high end prices. Lunch was really good. There is not a stable dining quality therefore. High tea was OK; we have had better ones. The room had a small tele without streaming, old school therefore. The lights either all were on or all off. Nothing in the middle. It took me four days and many mails to get the butler service to arrange what I asked for lunch, dinner reservations during our stay and the spa experience for my wife. I asked for a day treatment for her and they arranged a double treatment for us on a different day. There didnt seem to be enough attention to what was asked. The chateau is just not meeting what you may expect from a five star. The best illustration is that there was a small carton sign in the room that you had to leave on the bed if you wanted new linnen. We noticed it when we came in, it was a bit worn but OK. Then at one point our dog did get it and chew it. Can happen. The next day my wife was informed that we had to pay for that. Really? But OK, fair enough. When I paid the bill I noticed they charged 50 euros. As far as we are concerned that is off. We didnt discuss it and payed, leaving a tip for the staff. So, all in all, it is a nice experience, people really try and are very friendly. The chateau is however a four star experience for a high end five star pay."

"Our stay at Château Louise de La Vallière was nothing short of extraordinary—an experience that perfectly captures the essence of refined French hospitality and timeless elegance. From the moment the gates slowly opened, we knew we were arriving somewhere truly special. We were graciously welcomed by Gaston, and by the effortlessly elegant and delightful Mire Grebenstein, whose presence alone sets the tone for what is to come. We were escorted to a terrace overlooking the exquisite parterre gardens to check in—a breathtaking introduction that immediately immersed us in an atmosphere of luxury and quiet grandeur. Our room was absolute perfection. Every inch of the château is meticulously curated, with an eye for detail that is both sophisticated and deeply comforting. There is a harmony here—between history, beauty, and modern indulgence—that is very rare to find. One of the most charming moments of our stay unfolded later that evening. We ventured into town for dinner, only to realize rather quickly that it was not quite the right fit for us. After the amuse-bouche, we made a discreet exit. Upon returning to the château, we were astonished to find Gaston waiting for us in the parking area. With a knowing smile, he said, “You must be very hungry.” We were both surprised and amused—how could he possibly know? As it turns out, the chef from the restaurant had called the château to say, quite simply, “They belong with you.” In a gesture that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of this remarkable place, Gaston immediately invited us to dine at the château instead. What followed was an unforgettable evening—warm, attentive, and utterly delicious. It is this level of intuition, care, and seamless service that transforms a stay into something truly magical. Château Louise de La Vallière is not just a destination—it is an experience, a feeling, and a memory that lingers long after you leave. We cannot wait to return"

"This is a gem! We stopped for one night earlier this month on our way back to Paris as it's very conveniently located near the autoroute. The castle went through a €15 million magnificent renovation while keeping the actual feel of what it used to be when it was built, only better as you have all the modern touches we now come to expect in a 5 star hotel. The owner is also the manager, so there is a good chance you will meet her. The staff is friendly and competent. They want you to have a terrific stay and they do everything they can to make it happen. Each room is different, so each stay can feel anew. We highly recommend this hotel for a stay in the Loire Valley to visit the famous castles in the area."
