to get started.

Fabulous, romantic castle turned into a hotel. Was like a fairy tale. We stayed in a smaller room (petit chambre) in the turret and it was so unique. Lovely accommodations and quiet. The grounds are extensive and the view is beautiful. Lovely swimming pool hidden down the hill in the back garden and beyond that is a formal garden that has been sort of let go. But we enjoyed swimming and wandering the grounds. Had the most delicious meal on the patio. One of the best meals we have had in France. Watched the sun go down as we ate dinner. You must book a table if you stay at the chateau. Breakfast on the patio was picturesque. It is a buffet but the food was good. This booking was a last minute stay and it was our best night of the trip. We plan to go back! Highly recommend this hotel.

Jill, United States of America

Excellent dinner and service to match. Very nice heated pool.

Charles, United States of America

The room we booked was large, with a king sized 4 poster bed that was very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed and very clean. Breakfast was well presented, and the staff happily accommodated my request for gluten free bread. The back patio was the perfect setting for a glass of wine in the evening before venturing to town for dinner. On one evening we enjoyed a superb dinner in their restaurant. 5 star!

Kathy, United States of America

The food and wine were excellent. Stayed many times before - heartily recommend.

Beautiful chateau, tastefully decorated, very French. Wonderfully comfortable bed. An upgrade to our room on arrival as not fully booked. Fantastic chef and attentive maitre d'

Anna, United Kingdom

Absolutely beautiful, as their restaurant was closed the night we were there we were given a recommendation to La Breche restaurant, best food we've had in the last 6 months in France. We will be returning to both establishments next year.

Yvonne, Australia

Beautiful rooms and facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Ian, Australia

Beautiful, spacious, elegant and very relaxing location and grounds. Interesting historic building and a superb restaurant.

Leafy, United Kingdom

If you want to stay in a real château then this is the right place to go! The staff is very friendly and they help you with anything you need. The pool is very nice and if you do not want to have a full breakfast you can also order coffee with two pastries. We also ate at the restaurant which was really really nice!

Mariska, Netherlands

Fantastic fine dining experience and excellent VFM. Central location to explore the Loire Valley. Used the swimming pool early evening during our stay - nice and relaxing!!

“Like prince in a Castle”

- • Small Double Room

눉Unstable WiFi in our room.
눇Well, if you want to have the feeling of spending a night in a French Castle, here you can live the experience. It is an excellent place, great hosts, very kind and helpful staff, awesome restaurant, beautiful classic decoration inside the hotel and the rooms (like in a real Chateau), very comfortable bed and great quality of towels. Unfortunately we didn't had the chance to try the pool because of the weather. The city of Amboise is at 2 minutes by car. Very beautiful place. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice quiet weekend away from everything, or for a stop while visiting the Loire Castles.

“Hospitality is about welcoming, good-humoured and professional service.This hotel fails the test.”
- • With a pet
- • Leisure trip

- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Although we phoned ahead to let the hotel know our ETA and make a restaurant reservation, there was no-one at reception to greet us. No-one answered the desk phone. We finally found a waiter who went off to find a receptionist to check us in. She finally arrived, but no-one offered to bring in our baggage. This was a bad start. Hospitality should start with a warm welcome and efficient service. The restaurant was equally unwelcoming, lacking atmosphere and warmth. The food was fine, but the service was officious and pompous. One waiter presumed to tell my friend which piece of cutlery to use. The plate was invented for a very good reason and fulfils its function perfectly; the slate is best used on a roof. It is possible to be serious, yet cheerful about eating in a gourmet restaurant. This, however, was fine dining made penitential. There was a serious lack of attention to the comfort of guests. There was no residents' lounge or bar. What are guests supposed to do between meals? - sit in their bedrooms and watch television? There are two fine rooms with fireplaces either side of the entrance hall which would make an excellent guest lounge and bar. One is wasted as a breakfast room. Why not use the restaurant for this, and make your guests' stays more comfortable and enjoyable? As a previous guest at Le Château de Pray I was hoping that this hotel would have improved its facilities and service. In the event I was seriously disappointed. The good news is that all this can be put right with guest-centered management, a better use of the space available and, most importantly, hospitality focused service that prioritizes the comfort and enjoyment of the guests. This sort of thing doesn't cost a lot of money, but could transform this hotel.
눇The location is magnificent with fine grounds, the bedrooms and bathrooms are pleasant and comfortable. This hotel has huge potential but is let down by all the above.

눉The WiFi was terrible. We had to sit right next to the door of our room in order to get any connection. I know the chateau is old and that is part of its charm but I could do with a better smelling room and dining room.
