Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The location is great . The service very good and though the Restaurant was closed on Mondays a very nice meal was served by very good servers in the grounds. The big advantage the place has is that guests get access to the Abbey and the tombs of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Acquitaine and Richard the Lionheart outside hours
United KingdomThe hotel was in a beautiful castle with beautiful surroundings and modern design and facilities in a museum.
United States of AmericaThe setting within the walls of the Abbaye was exceptional. The rooms are appointed with woods and natural textiles that blend perfectly with the local limestone used for the buildings, some of which date back to the 12th century. The staff was charming, friendly and helpful. The selection of foods for breakfast was of very high quality, delicious and locally sourced.
United States of AmericaEVERY.SINGLE.MOMENT...I cannot begin to explain what a blessing it was to be able to stay within the abbey, in super luxurious setting...from the moment I arrived to the moment i left, my every want was catered for.... Room = modern calming flow - Food = pure divine - Breakfast = top dollar cuisine - Tour = EXCELLENT - Wifi = Strong as the Bitcoin
South AfricaFabulous location in the grounds of Fontevraud-l’Abbaye with its rich history. An excellent restaurant with a top notch tasting menu and choice of local and other wines. The breakfast was beautifully laid out with a wide choice of breads, cheeses, cereals, local gourmet jams, cocxotte eggs with a mushroom and lardons fricassee to go with it.
United States of AmericaFabulous food. Creative architecture. Helpful staff.
United States of AmericaBeautiful property and great to be able to walk around without the public.
United States of Americathe staff worked very hard to acvommodate the guests. the buildibg and the compund, including the Abbey, are absolutely spectacular.
United States of AmericaOur accommodations, breakfast in the beautiful dining room, and the wonderfully poised, helpful, friendly and professional staff. The lovely tranquility of the place/ hotel and (hotel guests only) night time experiencing of the Abbey, etc. without tourists and tour groups was especially appreciated.
United States of AmericaPhenomenal experience to stay on the Abbey grounds. There are several nice restaurants ( La licorn and the Plantagenet)just outside the gate if you did not book ahead for the Michelin 1star on site. A wonderful and comfortable room. The youthful staff were superb
