First of all, it is important for me to explain what 4* or 5* mean to me: 4*: It is very good, I recommend BUT you should be aware of a few things before booking. 5*: Everything was amazing, I was blown away, you HAVE to go. With that in mind, you now know that we liked it and we recommend it. What we loved: - The place looks amazing, in a unique setting. - The people/service were perfect. Really, really nice, warm and welcoming team, which is not a given in France (I am French...)! - There are only 12 rooms (I believe) which means it will always remain quite quiet. - The swimming pool is big, segregated from the hotel and guests seem to prefer going out than spending time there so we were always alone in there. - The location is perfect because it is in the middle of all interesting places to visit. - The rooms are spacious and naturally cool in summer. - The Chateau is 5 min away from Amboise and all shops which is very handy when you don't want to drive too much to find a restaurant or anything else What we loves less: - The room we were in clearly needed attention. Nothing really bad but you would expect something higher standing and "fresher" for the price (stained carpet, "tired" toilets, no pressure at all in the shower, bath tub instead of a shower, Mini fridge just laying down on the carpet, etc.). - It may note be obvious on the pictures but there is a road going across the property, 30-50 meters away from the castle. It is not a super busy road but you will definitely hear cars during the day. Not a deal breaker, just need to be aware of it. - There is no bar in the hotel. - The 15 euros breakfast is a set, continental breakfast. You can order eggs but only boiled. We would have preferred a buffet or even more options, even for a higher price. All in all, we had a great, relaxing stay and enjoyed our time there. We recommend it.
