We came here on recommendation from the place we were staying for the last part of our honeymoon, and were so struck by the courtesy and attentiveness of the waiting staff and by the immaculately presented and delicious morsels that were offered on-the-house with our aperitifs that we were fearful to open the menus and see the prices. When we... more

This is by far the best hotel I've ever stayed, at least on terms of services. It is a family business (monsieur and madame Thevard) so they are paying maximum attention to every guest. The place is magnificent, a beautiful garden in the lovely nature of Loire Valley. The restaurant is incredible and you should try every single dish from... more

We stayed for two days in August in nearby Amboise but we knew about the Auberge de Launay's restaurant for other travelers reviews. We had a fantastic dinner in the garden of their hotel. They use fresh local ingredients. The fish plate Escalopes de Lotte rôties, Crème de moules de Bouchot au safran du Gâtinais was awesome. The cheese selection... more

We stayed in nearby Amboise but the Auberge de Launay's restaurant was recommended to us by our b&b hosts. We had a fantastic meal on their terrace, made of the freshest local ingredients.

We were served... more

We were looking forward to dinner in the hotel and weren't disappointed. The menu was varied and we were spoilt for choice. I chose the slow cooked pork... more

We stayed for two nights at Auberge de Launay. We used the hotel as a base to visit chateaux in the area. Be warned that there is nothing much in the town of Limeray and that you would have to drive to a bigger town if you were looking for places to eat. But you need not go past the... more

My husband and 3 teenaged children stayed at this auberge based on feedback we read here. We were thrilled with our choice. Auberge de Launay is lovely, with ivy covered walls, an abundance of flowers and even some fruit trees in the garden. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable and overlooked the garden. Helene was gracious when booking our... more

We arrived for two nights with teenaged children and another couple to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on the way home from the Dordogne. (A good halfway point to Calais, being 5 and a half hours each portion of the journey). We were all pleased with our garden rooms and this is indeed a very good spot from which to... more
