Guest reviews
Exceptional
Just lovely
Liked: Breakfast was very good. Service was nice. Only the restaurant was closed which was a pity
Disliked: View from the room
I give this property, my highest commendations!
Liked: An absolutely gorgeous, château, full of period flavor, set in a beautiful gardens with a lovely swimming pool. Very convenient to Amboise, a beautiful town in its own right and well worth visiting, centrally located to other outstanding locations. I just wish we could stay more than one night, but we were expected in Paris the next day. Be sure not to miss the excellent breakfast in a gorgeous dining room.
Disliked: I have no complaints.
Disliked: Review l'orangerie The setting is genuinely special. A dining room carved into the rock, arched windows onto the château courtyard, the kind of place that makes you feel the evening is going to be worth it. And for the first part of the night, it was. Friendly service, attentive staff, good food. We were a table of five, three on the tasting menu and two ordering à la carte, and things started well. Then the room got busier, and things started to slip. **The dietary substitution** One person in our group is lactose intolerant. We flagged it early, the waiter checked with the kitchen, and the proposed swap for a goat cheese dish was: half a lettuce, two flowers, olive oil and balsamic on the side. That was it. Half a lettuce. In a Michelin-starred restaurant, with time to prepare something thoughtful. We would have been far more generous with this review, but a plain salad deserves a plain and dry review. So here we are. **Service** Started strong, faded badly as the restaurant filled up. The younger staff were clearly still learning and were left quite exposed once the room got busy. We ended up pouring our own wine at multiple points, which we genuinely do not mind, but it does not belong in this type of restaurant. **Food and pacing** The first courses were good. Solid cooking, nice presentation, no complaints. But one of the à la carte desserts, a galette, came out overcooked and burned. That one should not have made it past the kitchen. And the time between dishes was excessive at points, over 30 minutes between some courses, which at this price point and with this reputation is hard to justify.
Fabulous classic chateau experience
Liked: Return visit
Disliked: Nothing - loved it
Met expectations once again. Friendly and very hospitable staff
Liked: Our 2nd stay here. By chance, we had exactly the same room as last time. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was well presented. At our time of travel the restaurant was not open but staff assisted with alternative restaurant bookings once again.
Liked: A beautiful chateau overlooking the Loire Valley. Pierre was exceptionally helpful giving great restaurant recommendations. Quiet, spotless room appointed with lovely, authentic style. Beautiful views.
