"In the former orangery of this picturesque château, with a terrace overlooking the Indre valley and wooded grounds planted with hundred-year-old trees, you will be treated to meticulous contemporary cuisine that is in tune with the seasons: artichoke velouté and smoked trout with brebis du lochois ewe's milk cheese; Arctic char with hazelnuts, confit potatoes, lemon sauce with Avruga "caviar"; pistachio and orange blossom cheesecake. Precise dishes and an enchanting setting: why not extend your time here with an overnight stay at the hotel?" - Michelin Inspector

Domaine de la Tortiniere | Best places to stay in Veigne

"A fanciful 19th-century chateau with a sense of fun, the Tortiniere brings a refreshing contemporary spirit to chateau-hotel style, mixing stylish fabrics and clean lines with antiques and grand fireplaces. Set amidst beautiful woodland, Tortiniere has been run by the same family for three generations and feels relaxed and welcoming, whether you’re here for a quiet, romantic weekend or a family holiday. Special treats include the excellent restaurant serving local specialities like pigeon, poires tapees and goat cheese. In summer, you can dine on the lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the valley. You can also take the hotel’s rowing boat for a potter along the River Indre. " - Anna Brooke

We stayed here twice in September - once on the way down to the Dordogne, once on the way back. I'd like to start by saying I had a massage and it was the best one I've ever had. Also, it is a beautiful main building and the grounds are lovely and well kept. It's in a nice area and extremely well placed if you're travelling through France. The reception staff are helpful. Breakfasts are varied (if expensive) and there are a large number of choices. The first room we stayed in was comfortable and well decorated. Here comes the BUT, and I'm afraid there are a few of them. On our return journey, we stayed in a suite. The bathroom was excellent and the suite was a very good size, but it was very impersonal (all painted light colours, no pictures etc) and the paintwork definitely needed redoing, as did the carpet. Our main disappointment though was with the restaurant. The staff on our first visit were brilliant, but on our second their attention was with two very large groups and there were obviously not enough waiters to deal with the number of guests. I ordered steak - I like it medium but on our first visit I'd ordered it it came blue, so the second time I ordered it I asked for it to be well done, and again it came back blue. When I brought this to the waiter's attention there was no real apology - just "I'll let the chef know" - as he rushed off no doubt to deal with one of the groups. A real shame but we won't be staying again. I can completely understand a previous reviewer who said that when it was family owned it was a superb hotel, as it certainly has the 'bones' to be one, but unfortunately I think it's suffering under corporate management and a concentration on group bookings.

Stayed with my wife and two kids 8 and 10 years old. The hotel is just wonderful. The pool is great, running around the lawn was fun (wear shoes though, there are thistles), the wildflower meadow was so pretty, and the staff was very helpful. The room was clean, quiet, large, AC was great, and even the pullout couch was comfortable! The food was very good - especially the breakfast and the cocktails were great. Only negative was the surrounding town isn't somewhere you would like to explore, but Amboise and Tours are very close by.

This hotel dazzles its guests with a commanding viewpoint over the grounds, pool and valley beneath. The chateau has been tastefully restored with simple rooms offering grand views and a small bar area perfect for sipping Aperol spritz. Ours was a spacious two room tower suite with the benefit of aircon.The staff were consistently friendly, helping us with bike storage, pool towels and a generous buffet breakfast. We dined on the terrace in the evening and at breakfast. The setting itself was perfect. The evening menu was perhaps a little too pricey and exquisite for our needs but didn’t detract from an overall great stay. Highly recommend.

A lovely building with great terraces and views with friendly and helpful staff. However the hotel is in need of major renovations and I can't decide whether it should be rated as 3 star and not 4. It seems that over recent years any work or upgrades have been done on the cheap. There were many small niggling things that could be addressed to improve ones stay. - we sat at two different tables in the dining room and both had loose legs, no staff patrolled the swimming pool area which resulted in towels not being cleared away from sun beds and empty glasses left on tables, no steps or proper path down to the pool area, just a slopping dirt path. All these and more could easily be addressed by good management and investment.

This estate and grounds are well worth the distance from Tours where we picked up a rental car. The grounds are immaculate, with gigantic ancient trees, (great tree swing) and extensive so be sure to explore. The views from the back of the estate where the restaurant is located are so peaceful. If you like to swim or lounge by the pool and it is warmer than when we were there in May you will love this hotel even more. We dined in the restaurant the first night and were not disappointed. Our 2 favorite Chateau’s were an easy drive from the hotel. (Château d'Azay-le-Rideau and Château de Villandry)|Our room was enormous and the bathroom the largest and most modern of any other top rated hotel we stayed in. The buffet Breakfast was plentiful and service excellent.

We stayed here 7 years ago and had very fond memories. However I wonder if management has changed since then. We had a throughly unsatisfactory experience on our recent one night stay. ||The room (number 40) (for which we paid over 350 euros room only) had seen better days with marks on the floor and dinges and scrapes on the walls, with the thinnest, grottiest staircase. There was a thick duvet on the bed without an under sheet, so that half way through the night I had to strip the duvet as I was so hot even though the (pretty ineffectual) air conditioning was on full. ||Dinner involved some surly staff (apart from the young man who mainly served us who was pleasant enough), lengthy delays and average food, with a very expensive price tag. Breakfast the next morning was mediocre. ||On handing in the key on departure, the lady at the desk didn’t seem to know what to say to me. She certainly didn’t ask how our stay was, she didn’t wish us good travels and I don’t think she even said thank you or goodbye. Customer service definitely lacking throughout including a very unsatisfactory check in. ||Such a shame as it’s a nice property with pleasant views (if you miss the ugly water tower angle). But we will not be returning again.

We loved our 2 nights at this hotel and wish that we had stayed for longer. Our room was lovely, quiet and clean. I always feel a sense of concern when arriving at a new hotel but this hotel is genuinely great. The restaurant was beautifully run and the food was really good. In good weather you sit on the terrace under umbrellas looking down on to the pool and out towards the distance The staff are all friendly and helpful . What more can you ask for ?

This is our second visit. We stayed here in 2021 - absolutely wonderful and faultless. Beautiful location; very well run by the Oliverau family who were hands on. However, we didn’t know they sold the Chateau in 2023. They sold for circa € 10m - a price reflecting the quality of the place. Although Madame Oliverau manages the hotel for the new owners - a leveraged hotel group who need a high return to make their investment pay this has damaged the whole ambience and experience. This trip has been - not pleasant sadly and although the place is beautiful I would be careful about coming here. We arrived and were told we could not have dinner - there is nothing on the website or our direct telephone booking about reserving for dinner. We were also told dinner was blocked for our last of 3 nights and could not eat there. On our first night we had a ‘snack’ on the terrace as the only option - it took 50 minutes to get the food. Today the terrace by the restaurant is full of a conference booking or similar - loud chatter ruining the peace - the delightful pool is tellingly empty because of the loud noise. We have argued and stood our ground about dinner on our last night. You are made to feel that making money from non guests is the priority and we take second place. Very sad. Staff are very polite. We are told the low staff numbers are because they cannot recruit for countryside areas. Not my fault!

This chateau is charming, quiet, and quaint. Each room is decorated differently. The key you receive upon check-in is brass key with a heavy brass key chain. You are to return to the front desk each you leave your room, and then you pick up again upon arriving back. The grounds offer plenty of places to have quiet time with your partner. The view is stunning, and there is even a pool just for dipping. The bar experience was amusing, in that the bartender wrote everyone's order in an old school memo pad and had you write your room number. The rooms are a perfect marriage of traditional and modern. The rooms boast original hardware and ornate details from 300-400 years ago. The restaurant is tucked away in the bottom floor of the main building. You can either walk down the stairs or walk around the building. The breakfast had plenty to offer...fresh fruits, charcuterie, fresh breads, egg options, sausage, bacon, yogurt and more. Dinner was a delicious experience. This place is perfect if you're wanting to break away from busy and enjoy the French countryside.

This was one of the first places we stayed on our trip to France. Upon check in we were met with professional staff all wearing masks. They checked our pass sanitaire & then we were able to take them off. And for a few lovely days we felt really relaxed. We could enjoy our stay in this beautiful location, dine at the delicious restaurant, get spa treatments and put our stressed out minds at ease after a very long 2 years. What a gift. Make sure to take the boat out for a row on the river

Staying here for a few days and dined in their restaurant last night. Aperitif of champagne on the terrace to start, then entered the dining room. Beautifully decorated and appointed. Starter of foie gras was superb, with marinated cherries perched atop small squares of decadence. Main courses were duck and pork tenderloin. My explanation of sauces and presentation could not begin to do it all justice. The cheese cart was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. The staff here are just fantastic, particularly Vincent in the dining room. His knowledge of wines and local producers is invaluable. Oh, almost forgot - this restaurant is in a magnificent chateau (or rather a castle). As I type this I don't know whether it is being placed as a review of a restaurant or hotel, but the chateau is incredible.

What an awesome stay my husband and I had here! It met and surpassed all our expectations. The staff is AMAZING, always so welcoming and helpful, made us feel right at home! Our room in the chateau was lovely and quiet. The restaurant was so good we enjoyed the buffet every morning and ate dinner two out of our three nights! We found that before venturing off to explore the chateaus and go wine tasting, that it was so nice to start the day with a great breakfast, and to come back to a wonderful dinner. It is also in such a great location, situated near many of the chateaus we wanted to visit. Ask at the front desk and they will help you plan your routes and advise where to go. This fabulous hotel is worth every Euro!! To get to Domaine de la Tortiniere we took the train from Paris into Saint Pierre de Corpes and rented a car there. Highly recommend going that route.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel in the French countryside. The rooms were very comfortable. Their breakfast was delicious. The hiking paths near the hotel provide an opportunity to experience the nature. The pool is a nice touch.

What an amazing place! We love the ambience of this chateau hotel. The staff is helpful and friendly. Beds are comfortable. We LOVED our 3-course dinner here, capped off by a glass of Chinon sitting by the fireplace. Breakfast delivered to our room in the morning! Wonderful.

This was the original hotel we were supposed to stay but our flight information got mixed up and by the time we got there, all the room was sold out. However the gentleman at the front desk referred us to Hotel Chateau d'Artigny in Montbazon. Lovely place.
