Beautiful place in a quiet castle with friendly staff that will look after you super well. The castle is beautiful and if you love tomato take the time to visit the tomato garden with 700 species of tomatoes growing, absolutely amazing.

Another World a few hours from Paris.
There is infinitely more value in a valid old hotel than in boring modern one when the prices are comparable. Revel in the magic of the days that are gone, except where somebody puts the effort into keeping it here awhile longer. Elevator, TV, Internet - high ceilings, open beams, gardens, shops, restaurant, park. The latter features are worth coming for.

We stayed for three glorious nights, using this chateau as a home base while we explored the other chateaus of the Loire valley. It was magical. The staff was warm and welcoming. The room was beautiful. The grounds were amazing - acres and acres to explore. We didn't have time to swim, but the pool is beautiful - set back from the chateau and surrounded by grass, with a lovely little pool house for changing and lounging. Since we were out all every day, we didn't eat much at the chateau, but what we did was great. They had breakfast set up in various downstairs rooms, and dinner outside near the tomato garden. I would LOVE to stay here again if I ever get the chance.

A beautiful chateau with elegant rooms and a few endearing nooks and crannies to explore. The oak beams and creaks remind you the place is over 600 years old, but there is a pool and tennis court too. If you want an amazing experience and more space than Paris, rent a car and get to this chateau. You will be made welcome and will wish you booked for longer. We are sorry to leave and will be back.

Our stay at the castle was fantastic. Warm and friendly reception at check in, and very helpful staff. The grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed strolling the garden, playing tennis and swimming in the pool. Great location as it is a quiet and peaceful setting, yet an easy drive to Amboise and the castles. I highly recommend this chateau.

This was an amazing experience for my family. The chateau is on a large lot with wooded area vegetable gardens and surrounding gardens as well. It’s an authentic experience. Everyone at the chateau was very accommodating and incredibly helpful. We visited Leonardo da Vinci house near by and other castles. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to return to the wonderful place.

We were expecting to stay in the castle and got the barn! Very old room needed upgrading no lift so we had to carry all of our luggage up old rickety stairs very unsafe. We had a very far walk to our room. Nothing was open like the tea room. Beautiful property but needs work.

We thank you for your comments, it helps us to improve constantly our service quality .Regarding the room it was clearly mentionned in your reservation that you book a classical room in the Pavillon. If you expected to be in the castle you should have reserved an upper room category .. You said that nothing was opened but if the dinner wasn your second night so we don't understand your remark; Best regards,

C'est la troisième fois que nous séjournons au château. C'est toujours une super expérience ! Le château est magnifique, les jardins sont magnifiques, et l'équipe est très agréable. Cette fois nous avons mangé à La Cave, un restaurant à Montlouis. Un membre de l'équipe a fait la réservation pour nous et c'était superbe !

This is a beautiful property, with extensive gardens and trails featuring ecological information as well as an homage to the novel “The Little Prince” by Antoine de St. Exupery! There’s also a tomato garden and gift shop with many tomato products. The château itself is beautiful, with lovely rooms that are beautifully decorated and have the original wooden beams! And finally, the staff is very friendly and courteous.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the chateau which was beautifully decorated and had interesting grounds to explore. The staff were very friendly, helpful and responsive in their communications. We had dinner outdoors at the Tomato Bar and it was delicious. Our family room was spacious and included two bathrooms. After touring several castles in the Loire Valley, it was a fun experience to stay at one on our final night in France. Highly recommend a stay here and hope to return in the future.

This is a magical place. The theme of the gardens Is drawn from The Little Prince. They also may be the world’s greatest authority on tomatoes. Look it up. We wish we had grandchildren to take here. Madame Laetitia is a great hostess and a wonderful human being. We will be back!

Shabby chic with unimpressive dinner menu
Beautiful public areas - shabby bedroom. Was highly recommended by the telegraph - particularly the dinner at the bar tomato. The dahlia and tomato garden were beautiful but the set menu dinner was mostly inedible. What a shame. When I gave feedback to reception my remarks were met with a Gallic shrug…fortunately they allowed is to leave early. Great for a day visit as grounds are stunning.

We thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay. Obviously we were not the right place for you. On the evening you had dinner, except you and your friends we had no complain about the dinner. We probably didn't explain you clearly enough our dinner offer and are sorry about it. As you mentionned due to this mismatch we didn't charge you for the early check-out as our goal is always to offer the best service to our guests. As we did for your early check-in for example.

I cannot say enough good things about this chateau. We had a choice of rooms, either in the actual chateau or the adjoining charming building which once was a 17th century building to stable the horses and is an essential part of the chateau. We chose the converted stable room and enjoyed it very much. The room was a bit tricky and interesting to find, could have used a map to get to it once you entered the historic old building. The beauty and charm of the 16-17th century chateau is beyond description. The room was spacious, bed was super, bathroom was the best, view of the chateau from our window was exquisite. The tomato bar was unique and enjoyable for at least one dinner. The gardens are beautiful and the landscape with the chateau in the picture is something out of a fairy tale. The beauty of all the trees including the gorgeous sequoias is something to behold. We would highly recommend this accommodation and would love to revisit it in the near future.
