The room was clean but worn. The service was good but... the meal in the restaurant was not gourmet. We had much better in other places in France. The bikes were not in good repair. We had to search the bikes to find two usable ones.The trails were rutted and full of logs and brush. Not safe. It was quiet, and the staff was very helpful. It is out of the way but we had a rental car so we enjoyed driving the countryside. The online pictures are better than it looks. When we got there we struggled to find the "lake".

A bit out of the way, but we enjoyed our stay. Nice, spacious rooms. Go to Boulangerie Pâtisserie at 16 de la République in Luynes.

Very beautiful location, but after we'd been at a nicer place in the Loire for a couple of nights (for the same price), we found the hotel "tired". Dinner was good, but not fabulous. Restaurant was cavernous. Staff was excellent, though.

I hate to not speak well of places on trips that I take but I know this is why you are reading this so I will tell it like I saw it. You have to know up front that the location of this hotel is way out of the way, most of the Chateau's that you would want to see while visiting the Loire Valley are on the other side of the River. It would take awhile to get anywhere and there is nothing and nowhere to eat other than the hotel for miles. We checked in and were told we had been upgraded when we walked in the room I was surprised and not in a good way, I don't think it was much of an upgrade....This hotel has been added onto in several directions the section we stayed in for four nights was built into the hill and the bottom floor smelled very musty, we where on the second floor where the only way to reach it was a very small elevator which said only 4 people could ride at a time. I asked if there was a stair case anywhere and was told it was only for emergency.....I have never been to a hotel that had that. I was shown a room on the other side a couple of days later but did not seem worth the move. The first day we where there they had a large group and we arrived late in the afternoon and was not up for a heavy dinner so we had a glass of wine outside in the garden came into the bar area asked for another glass of wine and some cheese and bread, I know they where very busy with the dining room and the large group but you thought we had asked for something really big and would take way too much time...we did get our cheese and bread and was charged 35 euros for a really small amount... I thought it was crazy...so we never ate in the dinning room till the last night... which was us and one other couple the whole night, but turned out to be a very good meal and great service...of course with only two tables....Breakfast was very good typical French breads fruit ect.. But don't set at a table set up for four or you will get a ear full... I made that mistake...I love to stay at small hotels with charm, history out of the way, off the beaten path.... but the driving back an forth every day to see the sights was too much, my advise stay closer to Amboise, and avoid the busy town of Tours, and avoid this hotel.
