"This is your home while you are here". That's always the kind of greeting you hope to hear when arriving at a new hotel. Very few places ever live up to that kind of promise, but the Chateau des Ormeaux does it threefold (four if you count Vic)! An outstanding experience in every way (and we stay at a lot... more

Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise for Château des Ormeaux; it is easily the Loire Valley’s best bed & breakfast. This spotlessly clean charmer is located at a 15-minute drive from the historic town of Amboise. Have no doubt about it though, this is the country; this early 19th-century château is set within its own 62-acre... more

My husband and I stayed in at the Chateau for the last 3 nights of our 13 day European adventure - and it was without question our favorite part. We felt so warmly welcomed by Eric, who showed us the property, booked our 3 nights dinner reservations and shared some of his fabulous home-grown wine with us. We stayed in... more

Brilliant hotel... we stayed in the cottage outside. The situation is good, outside Amboise, but the chateau and people are superb and really made our first holiday in the Loire outstanding. the owners- Eric & Dominque are very welcoming, and everyone shares breakfast around a big table in the Chateau; served with their local jams. Service is fantastic- quiet and... more

We were looking for somewhere special to spend a few days around our 25th anniversary and settled on The Chateau des Amboise after reading the Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed by any aspect of our stay. The setting is idylic, the Chateau itself is stunning, the Poulenc room was spacious and well appointed, the service was second to none... more

My husband and I just returned from our trip to Paris, the Loire Valley and Amsterdam. We spent 3 nights at the Chateau des Ormeaux and loved everything about it. Eric, Emmanuel, and Dominic were wonderful hosts and Vick (the friendly labrador) made our stay extra special :) My husband and I were not familiar with the restaurants in the... more
