We saw La Domaine recommended in Alastar Sawday's book on France. Once again we were not disappointed. The building is breathtakingly beautiful. It has been restored to the highest quality . We stayed for four nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Our hostess was charming.. The rooms were tastefully decorated with high quality and stylish fittings. The swimming pool was a boon, as were the loungers by the pool. Breakfast was fresh croissants and other fresh daily bakery produce. The surroundings eg castles of the Loire , were on our doorstep.

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.
