“4 star hotel experience from a bed and breakfast. Truely delightful.”

Pool was nice. Dinner and breakfast was a special experience. Property was well maintained and looked rather charming. Delightful experience overall. You really feel like at home.

“A must visit”

What a perfect place and hosts, both James and Matthews attention to detail is second to none. They made our stay so special and we can't wait to return for another week's stay. Breakfast was excellent and loads of choice from cold meats, poached eggs, French toast, and the list goes on. The room was perfect, this is more than bed and breakfast I would say it's more like a boutique hotel with the nicest hosts you could wish to meet. Thank you James & Matthew for a lovely stay.

“We’ll be back again as it was divine and the food was outstanding especially the Gnocci. Thank you Matthew and James.”

Peaceful location with perfect hosts. Sans Souci has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Both Matthew and James were excellent hosts and Matthew’s culinary skills were outstanding. Attention to detail was 10 out of 10 from pool bag, condiments, towels and it was great to have a mini bar. The pool was heated to a lovely temperature which was perfect after a long days drive.

“If you want to be truly spoiled by the most amazing hosts, I cannot recommend Sans Souci enough.”

The warmest welcome. A very comfortable and well appointed room. The grounds and swimming pool were a delight. The food and service, at both dinner and breakfast, were just superb. We were truly spoiled and look forward to returning one day.

James and Mathew were delightful hosts and Matthew is an exceptional chef. He prepared a delicious dinner at short notice and we dined on the terrace by the pool. Very convenient location in lovely countryside and close to Chenonceaux and other castles.

“The warmest of welcomes by James and Matthew in a fabulous rural location close to Chenonceau and other chateaux. You wi”

James and Matthew couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. Their home is lovely and their goal is to ensure all their guests feel at home. The option of dinner, cooked by Matthew, and all with locally sourced ingredients, was a superb added extra and very good value for money. The swimming pool is heated and very refreshing. The rooms are very comfortable with a jam packed mini bar!

What a gem! James and Matthew are wonderful hosts! James welcomed us with a big smile and even though we arrived later than we had said, it wasn't a problem. We had not made a reservation for dinner but were graciously accommodated and enjoyed drinks by the pool beforehand. A big shout out for Matthew's incredible food - the confit duck and macarons and ice cream were absolutely delicious! We also had a fantastic breakfast - including Matthew's homemade waffles which are outrageous! The location is really lovely and peaceful in a wonderful rural location. The rooms are very comfortable with private terraces and there is a beautiful pool. They really have taken great care and attention to detail to make your stay very special. They are making further improvements, so I imagine a future visit - which we would love to make - will exceed expectations even further.

Fabulous hosts.

“Magnificent stay in an exceptional property.... so fab.”

A beautiful property in an idyllic setting so peaceful and tranquil. We had a beautiful spacious room and the pool is fantastic. James and Matthew looked after us so well and looked after my dietary restrictions so well. We ate there for dinner two nights and loved it. We couldn't recommend it enough and look forward to returning. Thank you so much.

“We loved Sans Souci and have already booked again.”

We had a wonderful welcome and we were well looked after by James throughout our stay. Matthew is an amazing cook, we especially loved the sweet potato fries. The breakfast was extremely generous, overall the stay was good value.

“Fabulous place for a restful break with fantastic hosts.cant wait to return”

The property is stunning. Beautiful location and very peaceful. James and Matthew couldn’t do enough for us. Loved the room and the pool is gorgeous. Dinner and breakfast were lovely and we couldn’t recommend this place more. Can’t wait to return next year x

“A blast 💥 and wonderful 😃😃😃thank you very much”

Everything ! 😃. James and Matthew are very kind and take care of the guests🌸 we felt welcomed and relaxed - we enjoyed the beautiful room with the opening to the garden 🪴. The dinner was exquisit and we had it in the garden . I enjoyed the plunge in the pool after a long drive. The breakfast was outstanding and delicious. The whole experience was such a nice start of our vacation! ❤️. The environment is very nice there is a lot to do and see. We visited Chenonceau castle it was a dream 😃. We would love to come back and recommend it to everyone.

“The peace and the calm and the food and the pool and their kindness and and and”

James and Matthew are the best hosts I ever met since I’ve been travalling (over 40 years) they make you feel at home! The house, the pool, the dinner and their breakfast with home made products , I will come back !

“Best stay with overwelming hospitality”

James and Matthews are such nice, Australian persons (who do speak French as well) that we regret that we only stayed two days at their nice little hotel, which is well located to visit some of the Loire castles. Matthews is a great cook and breakfast and dinner next to the pool were really good (we had Irish beef and salmon, both very good). We also liked the heated pool. The rooms are not so large but large enough. It is also very practical that the 4 rooms have a doors which give you access to either the courtyard or the swimming pool area. We will come back !!!

“Simply perfect”

James & Matthew went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We can highly recomendable and would definately visit again when in the Loire Valley area. Our stay was too short.

“A place of heart, style, and genuine hospitality”

All the glowing reviews about Sans Souci Bed and Breakfast are absolutely true – and we’re happy to confirm every word. James and Matthew are not just fantastic hosts; they have the rare gift of making guests feel truly welcome. Their warm hearts are, quite honestly, bigger than any château in the Loire Valley. The charming countryside house is quietly located in Luzillé, perfectly situated for visits to the most beautiful castles in the region. Cheverny, Chenonceau, Le Clos Lucé, Château Gaillard, and Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire – all easily accessible without stress. The rose festival in Chédigny was another highlight. The house itself has been renovated with great taste and attention to detail – elegant, well-maintained, and full of character. The view is stunning, the garden lovely, and dining by the pool or inside by the fireplace is equally delightful. Breakfast is a feast: generous, fresh, lovingly prepared – and every morning holds a new pièce de résistance to enjoy. Matthew’s cooking in the evening is also outstanding. And please: Have the macaron for dessert ONCE. You'll see why. There are also good restaurants nearby – La Charbonnade in Bléré serves great pizza (no-frills, but be sure to book), and we loved Le Parvis in Amboise for open-fire grilled dishes. Our room by the pool (La reine Margot) was beautifully appointed, perfectly equipped, and very comfortable. We slept wonderfully – and looked forward to a dip in the pool and an apéro every afternoon. For people with electric cars: there are plenty of charging points. Among other things, there is a Fastcharger from iecharge.io outside Bléré, in the middle of the fields (simply pay by card). No petrol station can match that :-). Conclusion: This B&B reflects the excellence of two hospitality and culinary professionals, paired with genuine warmth. Nothing is missing – and what remains is the feeling of having spent five truly special days in just the right place.
