Relais & Château Louise de La Vallière

Wow - this is easily one of the most amazing stays I've ever had. We drove into the full gate, welcomed by the most darling host, Alex, who shared the history of the Chateau, more about the amazing designer, and the owner. We were whisked away to our room, which was covered in embroidery fabric, with every single element has been thought of. We had marvelous dinner both nights, with cocktails in the sumptious bar. The grounds are a treat! We also enjoyed our complimentary one hour in the spa, and relaxed the day away. Everyone we interacted with loved their job and loved the property. Pros: Amazing hotel design, outstanding staff and service, epic hotel room. Cons: Could not think of one!

Finest restoration of a castle turned into an ultra exquisite hotel….with perfect food. this property has been painstakingly restored with every detail into the most wonderful extravaganza of a property has to be seen to be believed with perfect service from start to finish.

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.

Absolutely amazing trip. From the staff to the rooms, everything was outstanding. The staff was so friendly (and all spoke English which was a huge plus) and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The spa was heaven after a long 8 hour flight. There is a huge jacuzzi, sensory shower (rain shower that has set music, temp and scents that go with each theme) and a steam room. You get private access to all of these for an hour, totally recommend after a travel day. The massage was the best I have ever had and I have traveled all over the world visiting spas. The hotel itself is just stunning and we never wanted to leave. There was not a detailed spared when they renovated the hotel. We rented a car and drove from CDG and spent 4 days visiting the most beautiful chateaus and wineries. The chateau was always so lovely to arrive back to and we ate dinner there every night. Highly suggest a drink of their patio overlooking the beautiful gardens. Breakfast room service is also a must!

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!

My wife and I stayed at the Chateau and loved it! We still can’t believe the detail and care that was put into the restoration of the castle and grounds, and how beautiful our bedroom was. The food was delicious and yet somehow topped by the fantastic wine and sparkling wine selection; including fabulous selections at all price points. During our weekend trip we enjoyed e-bike rides through vineyards, forests, and the picturesque town of Amboise. BTWs - don’t miss a castle tour a castle tour of Chambord and the delicious and enlightening vineyard tours!
