“A short trip to the Loire valley”
The access to the Domaine from the main road is very easy and well signaled. The parking is large enough and gives the right tone for the ambiance of your stay - countryside with a luxury flair à la Française. We got a large room with a high ceiling that was very comfortable and well equipped. The all-day breakout room with coffee and tea self-service as well as the wellness are great additions to the overall service proposal. We used the restaurant several times and enjoyed the entire experience, and this for quite reasonable prices. Staff very nice and helpful throughout our stay. The Fontevraud Abbaye is only 4km away walking distance with the possibility to walk on nice countryside walks directly from the Domaine.

“A beautiful romantic hotel, in a lovely environment.”
My favourite hotel in France. A stunningly beautiful location, convenient for anyone who wants to explore the Pays de la Loire and some of its most famous and varied chateaux and much more. The Domaine is just outside a convenient and pretty village. The Domaine and its gardens itself is just gorgeous. It has been renovated and decorated with loving skill in a house that has been in the owner’s family for generations. The swimming pool and spa, in an ancient barn, are very relaxing, very inviting in alll seasons. Breakfast is as good as I have had in France and the evening meal is extraordinarily fine dining for the price. We wholeheartedly’recommend. PS My husband chose to spend his latest ‘big ‘birthday here and was not disappointed

“Great restaurant but disappointing facilities”
The setting with gardens and the wonderful meal in the evening. There is also a wonderful Savon factory, museum and shop on site. To be noted the Restaurant is not run by the hotel and is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
