L'abbaye De Villeneuve

Beautiful doesn't quite capture this place. The building is well planned and the decor is interesting and restful. Be sure to have a drink in the bar. We had dinner at both restaurants- 1201 is amazing. Our room was large and comfortable with a view of the front garden. We found the staff very helpful. We took an easy drive into Nantes for the day to site see, but really preferred just being at the hotel. We did dip in the pool on a warm day.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at this hotel. Our room was a calm and very comfy space decorated in warm, neutral shades. The pool was lovely and quiet too. I loved that the hotel allowed and even encouraged guests to play their lovely baby grand piano. The tall, well stocked bar was an impressive sight. The cocktails were very good, as was the food. Excellent service from the very friendly Leo, thank you for looking after us so well during our stay. The hotel was quite a drive into Nantes town centre and sadly the taxi that the hotel booked for us did not show up, so we were almost late for a restaurant booking we had made. As it is a very old building, we were sadly woken every morning by the couple above us who got up around 4am, (presumably for sunset hikes) stomping their walking boots all over the creaky wooden floorboards for ages which was very inconsiderate of them!

We recently stayed at this hotel for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, making us feel right at home. The hotel itself was perfect — beautifully maintained, very comfortable, and exceeded all our expectations.|The breakfasts and meals we had during our stay were exceptional, with high-quality ingredients and excellent service that made each dining experience a pleasure.|It was a major highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in France again. Highly recommended!

Spent 2 nights at the L’Abbaye de Villeneuve on our way down from Normandy to Bordeaux and had a very nice time. The hotel is located about a 20 minute ride from the city of Nantes. ||The château is quite large and truly beautiful. It gives you the impression you are staying in a 14 century castle. ||The Junior suite we stayed in was large, clean, and very nicely decorated. The public spaces such as the bar, restaurant and sitting areas were cozy and inviting. ||The service was absolutely wonderful and everyone always making sure we were having a good time. ||We had dinner one night in one of their restaurants and the food and service was excellent. A definite recommendation if staying in the area.

Very beautiful old monastery turned into hotel in tranquility.||We enjoyed our stay. Only 15min from the airport yet absolutely quiet and what a setting.||The hotel is an old monastery. Stunning! The service is excellent, too.||Highly recommended!

The restaurant is delightful, particularly the duck. Staff were universally kind, friendly, and helpful. The only thing we could have wished for was an elevator to the third floor, but a climb is to be expected in a historic abbey. Rooms have modern amentiies and are very comfortable. Will stay again.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all members of staff for their excellent and welcoming service, for the enjoyable days spent at Abbaye de Villeneuve, and for their consistent readiness to assist at any time. Their conduct was characterised by cordiality and kindness. I would like to make a special mention to Alizée and Léo, two people with significant potential. We have interacted with them a great deal recently, and I would like to acknowledge their constant attention to detail and professionalism. The Abbaye is a wonderful piece of French history, set in an idyllic location just minutes from Nantes. The rooms are comfortable, the atmosphere is quiet and friendly, and the cleanliness is excellent. We will return.

Almost perfect - except one disappointing moment Everything was great: clean and comfortable rooms, good food, excellent service, and friendly staff. However, our experience was spoiled by one thing - we asked for a checkout just 15 minutes later than scheduled (11am), but were refused. Madame Alizée declined without even checking the system, claiming high occupancy. In reality, rooms (including our category) were clearly available online. Feeling both unwelcome and misled was a truly disappointing end to an otherwise great stay.
