My family and I just returned from a trip to France during my son's school break. We had the incredible good fortune of spending the first three nights at Le Vieux Manoir, benefiting from the extraordinary hospitality offered by Gloria and Bob Belknap. We chose to stay in "La Maison de Gardien," a two-bedroom cottage immediately adjacent to the manor... More

I spent 4 days and nights at Le Vieux Manoir in Amboise with family in August 2011. We traveled there by train from Paris and rented a car for the stay. We found the manner house among the nicest we've visited and the owners are truly delightful. Gloria and her husband Bob moved to Amboise from Boston many years ago,... More

This review is long overdue as we stayed at le Vieux Manoir for three days in late May. We could not have asked for a nicer inn or more genial, helpful and pleasant hosts than Gloria and Bob. The gardens, both front and back, are magnificent. The building is superb, and the rooms charming, clean and extremely comfortable. Breakfast at... More

Think Town & Country meets Architectural Digest; located on quiet street in the heart of Amboise. Fabulous room with the best in towels, sheets and bath products. Great breakfast served in beautiful glass solarium - starts with fresh fruit plate and varying juice (orange juice and cantolope topped with rasberries; spiced baked apple with apricot juice) granola, yogurt, cheeses, breads,...

This is a picture perfect inn. Renovated and decorated impecably, the rooms are spotless and beautifully appointed. The grounds are gorgeous. Parking is a nightmare and Bob must keep an eye out for guests trying to maneuver tight spaces. Rent a small car. Even turning into the property requires someone to get out of the car to spot the driver... More

A beautiful (and beautifully maintained) manor house in the heart of Amboise. Gloria is a one-woman Tourist Information office, recommending itineraries and restaurants to meet every interest and preference. Breakfasts are fantastic (fresh breads and pastries, the best-ever yogurt, market-fresh cheeses, and juices) served on a beautiful enclosed porch looking into the garden. Guests (mostly US and Australian during our... More

We had a wonderful stay at Le Vieux Manoir and would return again in a flash. All exceeded our expectations. Our rooms were ample and comfortable, beautifully furnished. Breakfast was extraordinary and we found Bob and Gloria to be welcoming and generous hosts, offering much good advice to guide us in touring the area. We highly recommend it.
