Stayed here twice on this trip. Our favorite room was 19(also the cheapest) The restaurant is extremely good if a bit pricey. The owner and staff are extremely pleasant. We have used this hotel in the past as an overnight stop en-route to the s.w. We stayed a total of4nights this time and even though the weather was not at... More

Stayed for 2 nights en route to Atlantic Coast, and will certainly return. Owners and staff were very welcoming, and our room was spacious and comfortable. Our two nights (Mon & Tues) the Gourmet Restaurant is closed, however the meals at the Brasserie were excellent, and good value. We will treat ourselves to the gourmet next time. The pleasant garden... More

A little "out of the way" but well worth the trip to a very quiet hotel with an excellent restaurant and very welcoming staff. Delightful garden to wander around and an outdoor pool for those who enjoy swimming. Well recomended and we stay there every time we are in the area. More

Just a little west of Le Mans and a gateway to Solemnes and other interesting areas of the Loire. We found this hotel on line and were very happy that we did. The hotel is owned by a hard working young couple, who couldn't have been more charming. We stayed for 3 nights and were fortunate enough to be able... More

Just west of Le mans, the nicest hotel - and the best food - in town. Very welcoming staff. Eat alfresco in the garden if you get the chance. More

We overnighted at Le Ricordeau in late June. Our room was well appointed with an excellent bathroom but the real pleasure of this hotel is the delightful and welcoming owners and their staff, the beautiful garden, very good restaurant and altogether high quality of service. Dinner was a real treat - high quality cuisine in a lovely dining room looking... More

This was our second stay at Hotel Ricordeau. We first stayed 8 years ago when we had a memorable dinner in the restaurant Ricordeau. We were so pleased we decided to stay again. The 'new' owners Anne-Cecile and Ludovic are warm, friendly, attentive, obliging, very helpful and ever so hard working - whether on reception, serving in the Bistro or... More

What a lovely place! We arrived at the hotel at 9.45pm having been stuck in nightmare traffic in Paris and nearly running out of petrol. We were, therefore, not in the best of spirits and thought perhaps they would not still be serving food. How wrong we were. We received a very friendly greeting from the owner, who spoke fantastic...
