Auberge de la Caillère

"Idyllically located for anyone touring the châteaux of the Loire, this inn, firmly in the zeitgeist, is run by an enterprising couple who work together in a bucolic setting of forests and meadows. The original 18C farmhouse has been replaced by a modern building, which reflects the chef's culinary ethos that favours local produce (girolle mushrooms, regional veggies, honey, Racan pigeon, Touraine pork, etc.), but also his homeland, Brittany, illustrated by a wafer-thin tart of spider crab covered in a warm mayonnaise flavoured with sea urchin roe. Each legible dish is a masterclass of exquisite plating and crisp forthright flavours." - Michelin Inspector

Auberge de la Caillère (Candé-sur-Beuvron, Centre-Val de Loire) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"There are around 300 chateaux in the Loire Valley, and the Auberge de la Caillère sits by six of them, including the largest, and probably the most famous, the Château de Chambord, which is just a half hour drive away. The hotel’s location in the Loire countryside also means it’s surrounded by lush forest views that can be enjoyed from each of the 30 rooms and suites, which are split across a modern contemporary building and a historic stone 18th century property. The Caillère Bistro serves classic French dishes with a verdant view of the woodland from the outdoor terrace, and on colder evenings there’s a lounge bar for a cozy drink by the fire." - Tablet Hotels
