Les Voies Blanches ★★★

"My family had the pleasure of staying with Monique at her lovely home nearby the vineyards of Vouvray. We were instantly charmed by her warm welcome, local knowledge, and stories of her experiences and travels. Monique went out of her way to help us secure a table at a popular, excellent restaurant in a troglodyte setting, and offered other excellent references for discovering local wines. Her second floor 3-bed room was spacious and comfortable, accented by her personal touches—from the lemon water to keep us cool in the summer heat to the Russian dolls that decorated the room. For breakfast, Monique served us homemade apple compote and a variety of confiture. By the end of our stay, we felt sad that we were not able to spend more time as Monique packed us off with our thermoses full of coffee for the continuation of our travels and will always remember the twinkle in her eye and sharp sense of humour — our hearts full of gratitude for her opening her home to us."

Charmante Maison Tourangelle Entre Tours & Amboise ★★★★

Domaine des Bidaudieres ★★★★

"We had a wonderful stay with our children. The property is beautiful, the pool superb! We were perfectly located for visiting the castles we wanted to see. The rooms are elegantly furnished, and the breakfast is delicious. There's no option to dine on-site, but the owner kindly offered to book a table at a good restaurant nearby for us each evening. Our children forgot their phone chargers when we left, and again, the owner took the trouble to send them back to us. Such exceptional customer service is hard to find! We highly recommend it!"

La Rochelière ★★★

"The place was clean and well equipped with all the necessary appliances, hot water worked well. Really liked the breakfast with local products too."

Le Gaimont

"We stayed here for two nights while travelling south through France, and it was an excellent experience. Matthieu and Elisa are excellent hosts, and our 'troglodyte' room was beautiful - well furnished and very easy on the eye. Breakfasts, too, were great - I don't think we've ever encountered better croissants and pains-au-chocolate elsewhere, and we have sampled many! The weather wasn't at its best but we did manage to spend some time in the pool. A special mention too for Vito the family spaniel, who exuded bonhomie! We thoroughly recommend Le Gaimont!"

La Villa Coquette ★★★★
