After reading all the nice reviews about the Chateau des Ormeaux I decided to book my husband and I in there for our final nights in France. What an excellent idea!

I chose the Lully room and would recommend it highly. It is extremely spacious and very comfortable. The decor is in keeping with the chateau and very tastefully done.

Our hosts were extremely helpful, spending time advising us on things to see in the area and also dining options. They made all our dinner arrangements for us, which resulted in free glasses of bubbly at one restaurant. What a nice touch. Their recommendations both for things to see and places to eat were fantastic.

The common rooms are also very nice. The lounge is cosy with a roaring fire. We had some very nice chats with fellow guests there in the evenings. Breakfasts at a long, common table were also an excellent way to meet people.

The breakfast itself is also very good. Traditional French fare, tasty and plentiful.

The grounds are worth a bit of time wandering around. The Chateau is set in some lovely woods and fields, and set away from the roads, making it nice and quiet.

I would recommend Chateau des Ormeaux very highly, and found it deserving of it's top placing among Tripadvisor recommended properties in the Loire.

Not only was the hotel the nicest we stayed at in our 3 week trip to france but the 2 owners were personable and offered great advice on what to see and where to eat. Their breakfast spreads were great and included a homemade selection of jams and jellies. The grounds of the hotel are very nice and we walked around to see their very own field of wine grapes. I would love to go back in the fall during harvest time.

We stayed two nights at Chateau des Ormeaux with my husband and my older parents.. It was a such a perfect stay. We read the reviews on tripadvisor and booked it through the website. My mother had stayed at a few other Chateaux in the Loire before and she said this one was the best. The owners made the stay so out of the ordinary. They were booked our restaurants, planned our Chateau visits, mapped out our departure, and even helped with our car reservation. We booked the Rameau and Debussy rooms. The bathrooms were HUGE! And the decorations were so TRES Francais. The Debussy room has a turret room on the side and looks to the grounds but has a VERY steep circular stairway, so not good for the those who have difficulty with stairs. Ask the boys for a view to the back caves that the Castle is built against ( which may turn into a spa in Sauna in the future). I, strongly, suggest this gorgeous French Castle. You will feel like Royalty!

We loved our stay at Chateau des Ormeaux. The only downside is that we only had one night there! The room (Couperin) was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished, with a lot of attention to detail: Large soft towels, XXL towelling robes, good hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities (which is rare in France), and a CD-player with music by the composer after which the room is named (François Couperin). The bathroom is a great size with a great free-standing bathtub, shower, two sinks and a separate WC. The weather in April didn't permit us to use the pool, but it looks inviting and a real south-facing sun trap.

The owners (Emmanuel, Eric & Dominique) could not be more helpful, offer great advice on local restaurants and places to see. The breakfast served in the Chateau's dining room includes a home-made delicacies and a range of unusual and delicious home-made jams (e.g. Peach & Rhubarb or Pumpkin, Vouvray and Christmas Spices), made from own and local produce.

Un séjour superbe. Merci!
