Relais & Château Louise de La Vallière

Chateau has been loving restored and is simply spectacular. The staff is friendly and provides wonderful concierge services (make sure to book restaurant through them if you don’t speak French). The owner is there most days, and she is very willing to share her passion for the chateau and the area!

We stayed six nights at this hotel and absolutely loved it! It was such a wonderful base for exploring the Loire Valley, close to so many castles and sights, yet feels secluded and is such a refuge when you come back at the end of a sigh-seeing day. We loved the pool, got massages and facials at the spa, enjoyed meals in the beautiful dining room as well as in the garden just outside our room, and loved just walking around the property and soaking in the tranquility of it all. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. One of my favorite activities we did there was to rent e-bikes from the hotel and spent the day exploring castles through vineyards, and enjoying a delicious picnic made by the hotel as well. A memory I will cherish forever! We did have an issue with the shower our first night, but the staff took care of it immediately and we did not have any further issues with it. One suggestion for the hotel...I realize it is the countryside so to expect some insects, but we did have several daddy longlegs and other small insects in our room. It would have been nice to have a daily sweeping of the room (tall corners that we could not reach ourselves) in order to make it truly feel 5-star. But don't let this deter you, the property, and the rooms, is immaculate, and I would return in a heartbeat. I'm sure that if I had asked or complained, they would have attended to it immediately.

This is a really special hotel. Most hotels have gone modern and non-descript. Not Ch Louise. It has been recently rebuilt and the owner has exquisite tastes! Every room is different. The attention to detail is amazing. The web site doesn’t do it justice They have great e bikes and my wife and i enjoyed riding to Amboise for lunch and back We are here in December - it would be even more glorious in the Spring or Fall

Luxurious experience from the moment we arrived- our stay at Chateau Louise de La Valliere was above and beyond our expectations. The rooms were beautifully appointed, including the luxe bed and linens- I felt like a princess every morning! The grounds are lovely, including the pool and spa (still open in October- we had a cool dip in the pool followed by a steam bath and spa services). Location was central, allowing for short travel to castles, Amboise and surrounding areas. I highly recommend using the e-bikes for tours of the area- very fun! The food and wine was delicious- every detail was considered and the staff was very attentive. We can't wait to go back!

Owners Mira and Xavier have created an unparalleled experience at the Chateau, which is both magnificent in its restoration and beautiful in its furnishings -- truly, a labor of love. The Chateau is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming to create a modern five-star experience that includes all the splendor of the 16th century. We enjoyed a spectacular long weekend that included walks among the fig and apple trees on the property, e-biking in the countryside, and nearby wine tasting. If you have been dreaming of the French countryside, I cannot imagine a more perfect retreat!

The château is an incredible experience in the Loire Valley that cannot be found anywhere else, but the very top hotels in Paris. The chateau has been restored to immaculate elegance, which is only surpassed by the attention to detail and personalized customer service that staff offers. The whole experience inckuding the restaurant and wines was much more than what we expected, and luckily for us still quite under priced considering everything at offers. The stay at Chateau Louise really transposes you to previous centuries, but with all the comfort and amenities of a today’s five-star hotel. It is a great base to explore the loire valley nearby, wine tasting, and all the other chateaus that one can visit Will definitely return as a couple and with friends. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. To the owners, a big thank you for this gem that you have provided.
