We stayed at this charming, gorgeous hotel for only one night during our Loire Valley trip, and wished we could have stayed longer! The proprietress was friendly and very charming, the rooms were really huge and elegant, and the expanded continental breakfast was delicious. Every detail about the beautiful house, almost a chateau, is exquisite. We even loved the cats!

We stayed for one night in the troglydyte with our 3 young boys on a driving holiday to Spain. The boys were so excited to be staying a 'cave' and it didn't disappoint. The cave is more a small self-contained apartment with basic kitchen facilities. So rather than go out and eat that night we decided to get some local produce and eat at the outside table and chairs. It was perfect. The whole place is so peaceful.

The main house is beautiful and has been tastefully restored, the grounds and swimming pool are fantastic. Everyone at Bidaudieres was so friendly and helpful, I really didn't want to leave in the morning, another night would have been perfect. Highly recommend this place.

Staying at Domaine des Bidaudieres for two nights was a highlight of our two week stay in France. The manor house, pool, grounds, and view couldn't have been more lovely...or French! We loved the French country decor in our room and the relaxed environment. I can't say enough good things about the feeling we had during our time there. It offered the perfect setting to use as a base for exploring the nearby chateaux of the Loire. We especially loved Chenonceau. Nicole was so wonderful and hospitable to us throughout our visit. Merci beaucoup! We hope to return someday with our daughters.

Just back from two nights in the 'gatehouse' at Bidaudieres, where we were made very welcome by Nicole and the friendly staff. The kids enjoyed being near the Vouvray vines (just outside the window) and while we would have liked to have stayed in a troglodyte room, they were booked up earlier.

Bidaudieres is very well signposted from Vouvray, but easy to find anyway. It sits under the cliff that runs to the north of the Loire from east of Vouvray to Tours.

The rooms were good - and from reading other reviews you can see that there ha sbeen plenty of investment in improving things over the years. No complaints from us - nice rooms, decent air conditioning and a nice breakfast. It was good to be able to park our car right outside the self contained 'gatehouse', as we were only there two days and it made it easy to unpack, pack and get in and out.

The kids loved the heated swimming pool while we enjoyed visiting their own cellars under the cliffs. Good value, friendly, useful base for travelling to places like Amboise, Chenonceau and Azay-le-Rideua (bit further away, granted).

Definitely recommended
