Our stay here was a dream.
We stayed here as a couple in mid-May and had the most wonderful time. Our room, Olivia, was quiet and cool and comfortable, a perfect blend of old charm and modern comfort. The grounds of the chateau were absolutely magical; around every corner there were flowers and old stone and beautiful views.
The breakfast each day was a delight. Bread, pastries, and jams are brought to each table and then you get to order whatever else you'd like to eat (we always had soft boiled eggs and yogurt with the chateau's own honey each day) and drink.
After a day out biking and canoeing in the area, one evening we wanted to have a peaceful evening at the chateau for dinner, and Veronique put together the most amazing spread of cheese, charcuterie, bread, etc for us to enjoy in the garden. They even spread a tablecloth out on the outdoor table for us, and delivered our picnic tray to us outside. It was a perfect way to end a day.
The only thing to note is that the chateau is outside Amboise, and taxis are hard to get. While we had our car with us, we didn't want to drive in and out whenever we wanted to go to town, so we asked Veronique to arrange bicycle rental for us ahead of time, which she did. They were ready for us on arrival, and were picked up after we left. The convenience of this was wonderful, and made the distance to Amboise not a problem at all. The bike ride to and from was short and pleasant, and not on busy roads at all.
My one and only disappointment was that the pool wasn't open while we were there. I suppose we will just have to come back in the summer so we can enjoy it. :)
I loved our stay so much and wish we could have stayed longer. Truly one of my favorite places we have ever stayed, and can only highly recommend.
