This was another great find from the Alastair Sawday site. We actually regretted that we hadn't planned to spend more time in the Loire as this would be a fantastic home base for exploring Blois, Chenonceau, Saumur, etc. It was a little tricky to find (enter the narrow driveway right across from the sign on the side of the road)... more

My wife and I were absolutely charmed with this wonderful hotel nestled in the foothills across the river from Amboise Chateau. A narrow driveway brings you into the main compund and there was a big hand rung bell that announced our arrival. The owners are charming and gave us a little tour before showing us to our room. Unbelievably charming,... more

We spent the last couple of days of our honeymoon here and wish we could have stayed longer. It is the perfect hideaway and makes you feel as though you're in another world. The décor is exquisitely tasteful, and the gardens are magical, with romantic little corners where you can relax or have an alfresco meal (the mini-kitchen in one... more

Especially for a North American, not used to such charm, Chateau de Nazelles is a cozy little dream come true. With only 4 or 5 rooms on a quirky, old, extremely charming property it is like stepping into your own little estate. The grounds are beautiful and romantic. Honestly, it is the kind of place that you don't want to... more

We stayed here for three nights in March 2009 during our honeymoon and it was one of our favourite places that we stayed in on the whole trip. We stayed in the Pavillon Marie-Louise which was lovely and cosy, perfect for a couple, and warmer than we expected as it had heated floors. Veronique is a wonderful host, with excellent... more

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautifully located chateau. The breakfast was more than enough and mostly locally produced, organic ingredients. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable with the best shower of any hotel!. In spite of being close to a town the fully nclosed chateau ensure absolute quiet at night. The hosts are multi-lingual and are happy... more

Driving through the very narrow entrance to this Bed and Breakfast, you will be immediately transported into another world, one that embodies the varied history of the building and its location. Warmly welcomed by our gracious and knowledgeable host in the cosy and well-equipped living room area for guests, we were shown to the Vielé-Griffin room upstairs. It was not... more

We stayed in half of the Troglodytique suite. Very private and quiet. The entire property is very romantic. It has a great blend of modern conveniences and old world charm. I think what makes the stay such a great experience is the hospitality. Veronique is a gracious host who makes you feel very much at home. She has extensive knowledge... more

We loved Chateau de Nazelles! The chateau and extensive grounds are a photo op everywhere you go. Our room was large, airy and spotless. The owners, Veronique and Oliver are charming and multi-lingual. Outside there are tables and chairs, a BBQ, a pool and a summer kitchen. The kitchen has linens, wine glasses, a small fridge, a sink and a... more
