Au Relais Saint Maurice

Excepcional, qué gusto encontrar personas con tal dedicación, tanto a lo básico, como a los detalles que marcan la diferencia, muy muy recomendable, experiencia perfecta. Solo un detalle mejorable, la calefacción hace demasiado ruido.

We stayed two nights for visiting chateaus by the Loire River. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, this was our first bed and breakfast experience. The place is tastefully furnished by mostly antique. Maurice is a great host, caring, cheerful, and detail oriented. Not only he helped us with our luggage but also made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our room was on the top floor, the Agnes’ room, named after Agnes Sorel, a mistress of King Charles VII, art model who once lived there. The house was from 14th century, Maurice purchased it in 2015 and renovated it. He has done it very well. Our room was much larger than the ones we had in Paris, a tapestry and a portrait of a woman from medieval times decorated the walls. In addition to a coffee table set, there were an ottoman chair and two luggage chairs, a writing desk, a dresser, and closet cabinet. There were much more than ordinary supplies, such as an ice pillow, not to mention that coffee cups, a coffee maker, and wine glasses. We had a modern shower with good water pressure and water closet in the room, and a vanity table had abundant supplies. The bed was firm and comfortable. You would definitely feel the host’s hospitality, care, and love. I especially loved the windows on the roof. There were countless choices for breakfast: croissants, coffee, tea, crepes, milk, three fruit juices, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausage, hams, jams, peaches and grapes, and several cakes, yogurt and more…to our surprise, silver utensils and linens were used. Maurice poured coffee and hot milk for us. We used to help ourselves with coffee machines in Paris. His breakfast was indeed impressive and noteworthy. Merci, Maurice.

Of the 8 nights spent in France at 6 different hotels, this was by far the best room we stayed in. Room is very large and very well equipped, bed and pillows super comfortable, and large separate bathroom. Host is very friendly and breakfast selections are immense. Parking is right behind in a private garage. Would definitely stay again.
