This was the place my wife found most relaxing in France - away from the cities and small rooms. Our host, Phillipe, was excellent. His mission is to ensure his guests are very well taken off. Excellent! Brilliant place to visit the wineyards - but a little out of the way from the other major sites. If you want a... More

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful B&B in late October and we were absolutely delighted with the property grounds, personable service by the owners, delicious breakfast, room facilities, and other amenities. This logis is about 30 minutes south of Saumur in the small village of Le Puy Notre Dame. It takes a while to get there from the... More

We had a lovely relaxing break, staying in this peaceful village not far from Saumur. Everything was to a high standard and there were many thoughtful aspects: the kitchen, stocked with local wines in case of emergency, the kettle and teas in the room, the lounge area, the lovely fresh breakfasts. Good recommendations on where to eat in the evening.... More

Found this place on internet and was pleased when we arrived. The host was helpful and very gracious welcoming us and giving us directions and information for dinner spots and chateau to visit in the area. It was close to many places on our list to visit, but tucked away in a little town. Room was big and comfortable. Breakfast... More

We arrived quite late in the evening and it was pouring with rain, but our host was most welcoming and suggested a couple of nearby restaurants we could try. He even came outside in the rain to help us when we were struggling to get through the secure exit gate. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the ensuite with... More

Although we checked in only a few hours ago, we cannot believe our luck in finding Le Chai de la Paleine. It is in the middle of no-where....charming and wonderful. Great room with bath tub. Huge living area shared by all PLUS a kitchen and many comfortable chairs/couches...and a little sign that says, "in case of emergency there are bottles... More

My husband and I recently spent three nights at La Chai de La Paleine. The welcome was friendly, the bed comfortable, the breakfast - bread, croissants, home-made jams, yoghurt etc. - good. I was intrigued by the tiny 3mx3m stargazer rooms in the gardens and by the roulotte (gipsy caravan) and might go back to try one or the other.... More

We stopped over on the way to Calais as a family of 5 and had 2 rooms both excellent. Everyone was very friendly and even got up early so we could have breakfast before we left. The hotel has a great location for exploring the local area.

We are a family of 2 plus a 5&6 year old. We looked for a hotel with family rooms and a casual rural environment. This hotel delivers. We were delighted with the place. It was not as pompous as a 4 or 5 star hotel but the service was good and all the basic facilities were on offer plus a... More
