My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Chateau des Ormeaux in May/June 2009. We can't say enough about it. The Chateau itself, the location, the level of service and hospitality provided by Dominique, Eric and Emmanuel - all were simply superb. Unlike a typical hotel, we were truly made to feel like family here. Breakfast (which was wonderful!)... more

Nicely situated in the country side, not far from most of main Loire castles, the chateau des ormeaux feels like the home we all dream to have... The castle is beautifully restored, the rooms are superb, and the service is perfect. For food lovers: breakfast is excellent, and we had a wonderful dinner there (but you need to book in... more

We stayed at Chateau des Ormeaux based on Tripadvisor recommendations, and weren't disappointed. Breakfast was excellent as has been previously described, with toast, croissants, homemade jellies, coffee/tea, cereals. This is more than enough to start the day. The large dining room and predominantly American guests made for nice meetings and discussions about each groups travels. We stayed in the manor... more

When I go on vacation I don't try to find a nice place to stay, I try to find the perfect place to stay. When I saw Chateau des Ormeaux on a TA "Best of" list a few years back, I checked out their website and bookmarked it, knowing that one of these days when we went to the Loire... more

Breakfast in the beautiful dining room with homemade pumpkin jams and croissants was an memorable... more

I also wanted to make this visit to France romantic for my wife and I. We could not have picked a better... more

My husband and I were lucky enough to have stayed three nights at the Chateau des Ormeaux. I love the location outside of Amboise and in a country setting. Our room was beautiful with antiques and a large window that opened out to a nice view. The breakfast was in a beautiful dining room with the traditonal french breakfast. Our... more

This place is terrific! It is beautiful inside and out (and it is clean and non-smoking). The owners/staff are very helpful and create a warm welcome. Our family of 4 reserved the 2 room suite (Debussy and Ravel) for a stay in the middle of our France vacation. It is ideally located for touring the Loire river valley. As soon... more

Imagine arriving at a dear friend's lovely home after a long journey. You are greeted with a sincere welcome and thoughtful hospitality. The three hosts - Eric, Dominique, Emmanuel - obviously love what they do. They were always energetic, friendly and interested in being helpful. They give you as much personal attention or space as you desire, take your pick.... more
