Lock in a great price for Fontevraud L'Hôtel – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Fantastic location, inside Abbey grounds. A great breakfast in a great setting. All very relaxing with helpful staff. We recommend eating in the restaurant where the staff and food are 1st class Access to the abbey all day and all night. So you can just stroll around the grounds and inside the buildings in the cooler evening, with only hotel guests around. Overall a superb experience.

Antony, United Kingdom

The only benefit was the ability to walk in and around the abbey day or night. The setting is lovely but too hot to appreciate the gardens

Wendy, United Kingdom

Lovely relaxing feeling. Restaurant expensive but fabulous.

Louise, United Kingdom

Our second visit. We started to explore only to discover that we need to spend a day to be able to appreciate the wonder of this magnificent place and its chequered history. Now planning 2019'a visit.

Neville, Hong Kong

Breakfast was lovely - extensive and delicious and the cloisters were a beautiful place to have it in the morning. Setting and views from room. Hotel design and style. Some staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Clare, United Kingdom

Sadly only a few things. 1. the location in the abbey is special. 2. Cleanliness. 3. breakfast in the cloister. 4. Clever architecture. (Ate dinner at the local restaurant on the main square - great location, nice service, acceptable food - selection/quality

Justin, United Kingdom

The location is exceptional- a reason to visit. The restaurant is superb and a beautiful setting. The grounds are stunning.

Lucinda, United Kingdom

Being able to walk at leisure in the Abbey at night or early when there is no tourists, is a very special experience The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff is very pleasant. I strongly recommend the restaurant (reservation needed).

The experience to the property were good. Staff were pleasant. The ambience of the hotel, grounds and location were good. Breakfast was exceptional, with a wide selection and service was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable.

Graham, United Kingdom

The restaurant was truly exceptional – I have to eat gluten, dairy, and soy-free, and the chef created a six course meal that was delicious and avoided all my allergens.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“A modern contemporary hospitality concept in a medieval location is always a winner. The absolute silence with windows wide open during the night is a bliss. I will certainly return.”

Dinu

Romania

“Great room. You can walk around the abbey late at night in the moonlight. Best dinner on the Loire (we biked Nantes to nevers) - innovative and great food”

Chris

United States of America

“Okay, so this is a whole another level. The hotel is inside the Abbey premises. The view is mesmerizing. You can just walk around, go inside the abbey for free, and ponder upon the graves of the greats like Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine, etc. The hotel room itself was very modern with castle-like walls/feels. The shower very modern and beautiful. The staff is amazing--very polite and attentive. They even give you a ride to the parking lot (5min walk). They were so nice that when my partner forgot his suit jacket in the closet, they called and asked for an address to mail it to for free. And they did--all the way to Los Angeles free of charge! The restaurant right next to the hotel was one of the highlights of our trip! Michelline star, innovative restaurant with the most delicious and aesthetically pleasing dishes I've ever tasted. What a gem this hotel is! Merci!”

“Perfect dinner and location!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Confort Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The staff spoke very poor English. Because of this, the reception at the hotel was not very friendly, now the receptionist did not understand me. Also the guides with information about the abbey were all in French, which in my opinion is not appropriate for a four star hotel. There was no atmosphere in the bar at the hotel, there was no music and here again the staff spoke very poor English
눇The reason we went to Fontevraud L'Hôtel was for the Michelin star restaurant and the amazing location of the hotel. We were not disappointed! Both the hotel, the bar and the restaurant have been beautifully renovated. The room was not very big, but was stylish and smartly decorated. There was a mobile fan that could also be set up as air conditioning (I suspect it was purchased after people complained about the absence of this). The food in the restaurant was excellent, the whole holiday in France I have never eaten as good as here. We went for the menu 'Second Chapitre' (I do not reveal anything about the dishes, you have to discover that yourself! I can only say that they were delightful). Even though the staff in the restaurant spoke poor English, everyone did their utmost best to explain our dishes and wines. Certainly the sommelier, went out of his way to give us extra knowledge about the wines. Now that the hotel is part of the Abbey, guests have the opportunity to walk through the abbey in the evening, which has a magical effect.
