Le Domaine de la Tortinière

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.

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 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 ?

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and well-appointed hotel. The view of the valley is stunning and the pool that sits below the château, provides a striking view of the architecture and a welcome relief after the heat of the Loire. The staff is charming, the breakfast vast and thoughtfully arranged, and the rooms are well-appointed. Be warned that the open shower in our bathroom repeatedly flooded the floor which was a bit of a drag but it did dry each day. Although the château is well-situated, it is off a large, unattractive road and not at all what I think of when I imagine the Loire. This gives the hotel good proximity to many routes but it isn’t the charming approach I had hoped for when booking. That was my mistake and no fault of the hotel’s. Overall, this is a very pleasant place to stay. We had dinner at the hotel and it was mediocre. Eat elsewhere. There is fabulous food all around you in the Loire.

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!

A really excellent hotel. Particular thanks to the friendly and kind staff, who were very welcoming to our children and really accommodating of our requests on rooms, early breakfast etc. We look forward to our next stay.

Stayed at this lovely hotel for a night whilst on a road trip with our dog to Spain and had a great stop. The hotel is dog friendly with a lot of grounds and the cottage room we stayed in was very nice with a massive bath and well decorated. The team at the hotel are very friendly and professional and we had a fine dinner in the bar area and a lovely breakfast in our room. The interior of the main hotel is very contemporary and stylish and beyond there is a tennis court, swimming pool, spa and billiards room. A great place to stay and we hopefully will return.

Lovely chateau hotel in the Loire valley within driving distance of Tours and the nearby castles and vineyards. Excellent restaurant.

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.

Amazing place: - The hotel in itself is a little bit of paradise. It feels like a Disney building where you can actually stay - The park around is luxurious and creates a quiet and countryside atmosphere - The restaurant is so good for dinner or breakfast Overall our stay was perfect - we've been there twice already and we'll be back for more!

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.
