Château de Perreux, The Originals Collection

My husband and I have traveled the world, and this ranks as the "weirdest" place we've ever stayed. Aside from the fact that the road is closed from the direction "maps" usually leads people, we finally found a route to this hotel. It looks like a typical chateau... picturesque and surrounded by beautiful green grounds. Upon checking in, we were led to our room in the turret, which was so hot, that we were really sweating before even unpacking. We went down to the front desk, and the nice staff told us they had one cool room in an unfinished part of the chateau, which was built on the side of the mountain, with cave walls. Sensing we would not be getting a refund, we were led by a very nice lady (who carried our large suitcases for us) through construction, cobwebby circular staircase, jumped down a little hill, and finally got to our room. It was definitely cool/cold, felt wonderful, was new construction with beautiful paint, an in-room sauna, a kitchen, and a balcony with a hot tub and table. Although it was wonderfully cool, it was also damp and there were some ants, since it was actually stone ceiling and walls. |The lady who cleans and helped with luggage is also the cook in the morning, and she is delightful. The dining room is beautiful. After 3 nights, we grew accustomed to the strange, somewhat treacherous trek to our room and had a great time sipping wine on our private balcony and laughing.

We had a wonderful stay at Château de Perreux. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully manicured grounds and walking trails that wind through the trees. Our room was incredibly spacious, and the service was warm and personable. We especially enjoyed exploring the underground caves and taking in the peaceful, scenic surroundings. A truly memorable experience!

The property is in a secluded location. It is a 10-15 min drive to Amboise. Very peaceful. The host was very friendly and the room was comfortable. Its a chateau hotel, and had very nice history. The gardens were rustic, not very upkept, but more secluded and felt like nature which we liked. Would recommend.

This is an amazing location to have a chateau converted into a hotel; it's built into and onto the limestone cliffs! So it had is own climate control and a series of caves, storage areas and corridors as part of the hotel. The rooms are huge and very comfortable: great bed and pillows, good WiFi. The owner is onsite and a very engaging personality, full of the history and the future. There it's beautiful and interesting artwork all around and the public rooms have original panelling and plasterwork: great to see. Overall it is beautiful, peaceful and engaging. There are beautiful grounds to explore with tracks and tunnels through the woods down to the river and a lovely looking modern swimming pool. They don't have a restaurant ... yet ... they have great recommendations for places in Amboise. The hotel continental breakfast was delicious.

Visited in 2020 Beautiful hotel with a cozy atmosphere, spacious rooms, and a charming property. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by how the owner handled a mistake with our booking — and his overall attitude toward guests. We had booked a stay that clearly included breakfast for both days. However, at checkout, the owner insisted we pay an extra €59 for the breakfasts — despite it being part of our confirmed reservation. His response was dismissive and unprofessional: “I don’t know where my bookings come from.” Rather than taking any responsibility, he left it to us to call around and figure out who was at fault. After wasting a significant part of our morning trying to resolve something that should never have been our responsibility, the owner finally admitted it was an issue with his collaborator, Hotelstays.com, and offered to refund us. But only after we chased him down and insisted on it. To make matters worse, this same “included breakfast” consisted of just one egg. Yes, one egg — and when we asked for an omelette, he literally used one egg to make it. No extra portions, no gesture of goodwill — just the bare minimum. Honestly, it came across as cheap and unkind, not hospitable. This is not a budget hotel, and we expected at least basic professionalism and a decent breakfast. Instead, we were treated like an inconvenience, not guests. Lastly, we’ve noticed that reviews that mention these issues seem to disappear — it appears the hotel does everything possible to delete or bury criticism. That in itself speaks volumes. We won’t be returning. Hopefully future guests are treated with more respect than we were.

If you go into it with the expectation of staying in an old castle with all its charm, you’ll love it. Secluded, well maintained property, and friendly staff. However, the rooms are hot and if you open the windows for air, bugs come in. Could be cleaner (ex. cobwebs, hair in the tub).

The room was clean and comfortable, but the hotel lacked food or beverage services after breakfast. Contrary to the website’s offer to “Stay for dinner”, there is no restaurant. The staff seemed didn’t volunteer much information about the area. The location was great and it was really cool to stay in a chateau, but the lack of services definitely detracted from the experience.

Everything about this chateaux was charming and comfortable. The host Oliveira was friendly and very helpful in recommending attractions to visit in the area including making dinner reservations to 2 very good restaurants in Amboise.
