We first visited Le Vieux Manoir in the summer of 2006 and have been returning regularly since then. Gloria and Bob have made every stay memorable by providing top class accommodation, hospitality, great advice on were to eat and where to buy wine. The location could not be better as the house is situated very near the centre of Amboise... More

My wife and I have just returned from a vacation in France. One of the highlights was our stay in Amboise at the Le Vieux Manoir. Such a beautiful property, well restored and kept by owners Gloria and Bob. From arriving to a welcoming glass of wine to a hug at our departure, we truly felt at home and comfortable... More

We had a wonderful stay at Le Vieux Manoir in the Loire Valley. The room we stayed in had just been redone and was lovely- the bed was so comfortable and everything was so clean! The American owners were so accommodating and helpful in every way- lots of good advice on how to enjoy the Loire and find good meals... More

We stayed at Le Vieux Manoir for two nights. The house is beautiful and very well maintained, as are the stunning gardens. The breakfast is excellent and is served in a beautiful conservatory that looks out on the rear garden. The owners, Gloria and Bob (as well as their two friendly cats), are wonderful hosts - warm, engaging, and very... More

Our family of four stayed in the Gatehouse at the start of our vacation in France. We loved it! Very clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Croissants delivers every am and coffee we could make in a French press. Bob and Gloria are thoughtful hosts and had many good recommendations for what to see and where to eat. A great way... More

We loved staying at Le Vieux Manoir with our two young daughters, ages 9 and 11. The location was ideal for traveling around the Loire Valley. We stayed in the gatehouse, La Maison de Portail, for 4 nights, which was absolutely perfect for our family. Gloria and Bob were entertaining and gracious hosts and even gave us a tour of... More

Le Vieux Manoir was excellent! The accommodations, we stayed in the Maison le Gardien, were clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable. Fresh croissants were delivered every morning as well as a welcoming basket with basic necessities and a bottle of excellent wine. Beautiful views of the garden. Our cottage could easily accommodate 4 persons. The Vieux Manoir is in Amboise... More

This is a little gem in the heart of the Loire district with easy access to chateaux and wineries. Gloria and Bob were most welcoming and very helpful with ideas for visits and restaurants for the evening. The house has been beautifully restored and the rooms are superbly furnished and very comfortable. Excellent breakfasts and complimentary wine, tea or coffee... More

Gloria and Bob have left no detail unfinished. The manor has been completly restored with the TLC and eye of two very seasoned inn keepers who love what they do. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had discreet modernization that refused to interfere with the time period of the manor. Breakfast in the atrium each morning never disappointed. Upon arrival...

This was our first trip to Amboise --two couples traveling together having driven from the Burgundy area of France. Gloria and Bob are great hosts, we stayed in what they refer to as the "Cottage" section---a lovely 2 bedroom little house on one wing of the property (which is gorgeous and so comfortable). It was filled with beautiful and cozy... More
