"Situated in the Loire Valley, France, these treetop lodges provide a serene escape without wi-fi or TV, featuring private jacuzzis and surrounded by nature." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In the midst of sprawling private woodland, where lodges on stilts and contemporary sculpture blend in with the trees, a restored farmstead flanked by a superlative terrace gradually comes into view, appointed in a full-blown arty and sylvan theme. Serenity is the watchword of this establishment, which uses only top-quality ingredients in carefully crafted recipes that flawlessly respect the seasons in a set menu that can be ordered in 3, 5 or 7 courses." - Michelin Inspector
"An estate of 18 luxurious, artist-designed tree houses opened in 2020 by a Parisian art dealer; each raised unit has its own theme (examples include a Nordic-inspired design and a feather-forward room with quill light fixtures), private decks with tables, chairs and hot tubs, wellness touches such as charcoal-infused water, bikes for forest exploration, a pool, and an on-site restaurant serving dishes like wood-fired lamb chops and stuffed chicken." - Sara Lieberman
"Not every Loire Valley hotel has to follow the wine-château model. Loire Valley Lodges turns to nature for inspiration; its 18 treehouse-like lodges standing on stilts among the oaks, chestnuts, and Douglas firs of this 750-acre forest. There’s no wi-fi and no TV, just a Nordic, modernist vibe, a front-row view of the woods, and a full complement of rather high-end comforts, including a jacuzzi on the terrace." - Le Guide MICHELIN
