We found the experience one we do not wish to repeat. The entire staff are without any idea of customer focus and appear to believe customers are there to serve their needs.We were paying guests and do not expect to be answered back with the entirely insincere,'You're welcome', each time we thanked the staff for carrying out the basic functions.It is insulting and assumes we need to be told.I would hope we are always welcome and do not need to be told. The overall experience would have us believe we were not at all welcome unless we followed the rules. I did not pay to stay in a furniture museum and would have preferrd facility for taking a drink of water(like a drinking glass) in the room.We were ordered to sit in a particular spot to have aperitifs before dinner and were then forgotten.The meal was an endurance test (of our time and patience) and when I decided we would not have the cheese course, we were told we would have to wait twenty minutes for the dessert, which we accepted .However, when we had waited much more than the time promised, I decided enough was enough and went to bed. Your staff were quite ungracious and appeared to think that we were at fault.I could not believe it.We left the next morning without breakfast since we could not face your staff's arrogance and unpleasant demeanour again.

It was simply wonderful. Lovely room, cleaned spotlessly each day. Great food, served by helpful, polite and knowledgible staff. All in a terrific location, We would definitely recommend it to others. Cannot think of anything, really.

The restaurant was first rate! There was no communal room to relax in ... Perhaps because the inn was totally booked for dinner that night.

We were looking to stay in a "castle" and this fit the bill. The adults in our group stayed in the main house while the families with children stayed in the Pavillion Renaissance rooms across the main chateau. The Pavillion rooms were huge -- "two" stories (enough space to sleep two more on "second" floor in addition to two on the main floor); fully renovated and very modern bathrooms. The chateau is very charming (kids found it creepy but in a fun way). There's even a small forest behind the chateau you can wander in. The only downside was that we arrived on the day the dining room was closed. We would've loved to try a superb meal there (at least that's what it read like on the menu).

We lost our way and the charming man on reception guided us in via our mobile. Although the restaurant was closed the hotel was warm and inviting. We stupidly declined breakfast - which would have been better than the recommended place in the town where my wife found hairs in her omlette. We looked for the hotel in Travel Republic but it was not there. The deal via Booking.com was fantastic. We advise travellers not to use Travel Republic as they do not tell you clearly about cancellation charges and are horrible when you complain about anything. There was a time limit on returning to the hotel with our car as the gate shut at 10pm. But when we told the man on reception that this was a problem he sorted it out and the gate was still open when we returned at 11pm. The 4-poster bed was incomplete (having no canopy) and the hotel operated a system of press button lights in the halls ans stars that could lkeave you groping in the dark. Also there is no lift - so do not bring in heavy bags.

Loved the Chateau itself, it is a very beautiful building and surrounds, one of the highlights of our trip. A very special place. Also the breakfast is served in a very special room that has been carved into the cliff face, good selection for breakfast. Only wish we could of spent longer there. Highly recommend.

Roor terrace with view at the chateau. Free internet and parking on the spot. The restaurant is great ! (1 michelin star) Room was not ready upon arrival, although it was 15.30 h. A lot of flies but that is nobody's fault. The door of the room was difficult to lock(the handle came off) and in the middle of the night the bathroom mirror fell of the wall. Surprise !

Location was great, very central, and staff were very helpful. Had we had more time and not been there during a heat wave, I expect we would've enjoyed our stay even more! Breakfast while pricey was one of the best we've had in France. We were put on 2ieme floor during a heat wave with only one tiny fan to cool the room - better than nothing, but an extra fan or even an apology might've made the experience a bit better.

the castle view and gardens. The proximity to Amboise we had a room in the pavillon renaissance and belief that it would have been nicer to have rooms in the castle itself.

We had a not large but very cosy beautifully decorated room with a view into the yard. The bathroom was unexpectedly large and comfortable. Thr chateau is situated in the very good location, not far from Amboise and other main places of interest. On the other hand the atmosphere around is very tranquil and relaxing. The restaurant has to be mentioned. The cuisine is really tasty and refined. The main discomfort is the absence of a lift

La situation de cet hotel dans un endroit calme et agréable. L'acceuil est très chaleureux et les chambres confortables avec des meubles d'époque . La cuisine est excellent et nous avons eu la chance d'avoir une table orès des fen^tres et orientées de telle façon que nous pouvions admirer le paysage. Un séjour agréable gaché par le mauvais temps qui ne nous a pas permis de profiter du parc et des alentours.

“We loved this majestic old manor. It's location was perfect, just a couple of blocks from the Chateau Amboise and it's little down town street with cafes. The rooms were comfortable, well-lit, clean, with modern bathroom. We saw Amboise, Chambord, and Chenonceau castles.” Sandra, Monte Sereno |
