"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."

"Beautiful grounds and very accommodating staff. Worthwhile to at least spend one night in a period chateau. Room was roomy and decorated for the historical feel, although some additional lighting would have been appreciated. As our room was on the top floor, it meant two levels of circular marble stairs so not recommended for those with mobility issues. Breakfast was very good as was the restaurant."

"Fun chateau to visit. The costumes were a fun touch. Excellent service and the location was beautiful. The rooms were nicely appointed and had the necessary modern amenities without taking away from the historic feel. Here’s the things I had questions about: 1. How to get there from Paris: took a train from Gare Montparnasse to Gare Saint Pierre des Corps. There was a quick direct route both ways but you need to be mindful of the timing in booking things. Took a taxi to and from both locations with a taxi line outside of the station. 2. They kindly accommodated an early check in. I thought I had booked through American Express Fine Hotels, would recommend that for early and late check in and out. I somehow made a mistake booking through the American Express website. 3. Booked bicycles. This was one of my favorite experiences on our whole trip. It was electric bikes with a sleeve for your phone. The website says there’s a gps map, didn’t have that. But we went to Chateau de Valmer and it was very fun and beautiful. Highly recommend. Food services were good. Did late lunch in the bar, they were a bit confused about this and we misread the menu times for lunch which are 12-2. Dinner was good, did the full 6 offering. Interesting dishes and ate some foods I wouldn’t usually order. It was fun. Breakfast is a nice buffet and was well appointed. We felt one night was sufficient."
