Relais & Château Louise de La Vallière

店主是個瑞士阿姨，怪癖很多，例如酒吧兼大廳裏無論白天還是晚上都不準有明亮的燈光，客人看菜單或飲料單都要打開手機的手電筒功能才能看清楚單子上的文字。早餐已經預先訂房時付過餐費了，結果連水煮蛋都要另外收費！我訂了一週，但才過了2天阿姨就要求我結賬，怕我沒錢住下去，太病態了！

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.

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!
