“Book it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

people found this review helpful

We wanted to explore the Loire Valley nearby a larger city (Tours) but also some rest and possibiltiy to relax when 'coming home'. Chateau du Vau is definitely the place to go. Pleasant rooms in this old family house. LOVED (!) the atmosphere of a family history and kindness and helpfulness of Bruno Clement, the owner. The swimming pool is a definite plus, it can get warm on the countryside. Would absolutely stay here again when visiting the area!

“Charming chateau”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

The chateau is located in green surroundings, on a working farm (we had a bit of trouble finding it, even with the gps).
As someone else mentioned, it's got a sort of faded elegance about it.
The rooms are cosy, nicy decorated in country style.
On the negative side, we had one evening when there was no hot water...luckily the issue had been resolved by the next morning, however this should not happen given the price charged.

“Great stay in a charming hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2010

The Chateau de Vau itself is a charming building. The settings are lush and there are lots of beautiful places in the vicinity to discover, like the castles of Villandry or Ussé.

The room itself was very nice, clean and the bathroom was in a perfect condition. I am quite picky about the bed, but even this exceeded my expectations. French breakfast was served for all guests at a huge table with a view on the garden, but other meals had to be taken elsewhere. Mr.Clement provided us with a number of good tips on where to dine.

Mineralwater free of charge in the room and free WiFi were the icings on the take. Staying in this hotel is highly recommended.

“Oasis in the countryside”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

If you are looking for a quiet and charming inn in the countryside with good access to the magnificent chateaux of the Loire, this is a great place. Rooms are large and comfortable with pastoral views of the beautiful foie gras farm. Nice little pool. Good breakfast (only meal served here) served at a large community dining room table. This is the hub of conversing with the other guests. About 15 mins from Tours. Just a few restaurants in the immediate area, but many in Tours if you want to go into the city. Adjacent to a golf course. Bruno, the owner is very charming and knowledgeable about the farm and local flora. Good value for the money.
