The house and pool are absolutely stunning! The hosts are very nice and responded right away whenever we had a question. The location is fantastic, easy drive or bike ride into town, close to wineries and Chateaus. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend. The only drawback is we were there during a heatwave and there is only AC in 2 bedrooms.

This was the perfect home base for our family of 5 on our trip to the Loire Valley. There was plenty of space to relax both inside and out. Amboise was a very short drive away with plenty of great restaurant options. The chateau is divided between the hosts and renters and the host family was extremely kind and welcoming.

Lovely property in a beautiful location

We stayed here as two families with 5 children between us. The property is really lovely, it has so much character and is set in spacious grounds so ample room for the children to entertain themselves. The pool is a good size and right next to the house and there was plenty of useful information left by the owners to help plan trips further afield.

Family Stay in Loire Valley

We loved everything about this property. The owners were the ultimate hosts, providing information on the property and the area, bringing fresh bread, butter and jam daily. The pool and horse pastures were favorites for the kids. Staying in a chateau was the highlight for the adults. The home was well appointed and immaculately clean. A great space for a multi-generation family trip. Highly recommend!

Merci Katie pour votre chaleureux commentaire. Nous avons été très heureux de faire votre connaissance ainsi que celle de votre famille. Alexia et moi sommes très soucieux du bien-être de nos hôtes et y travaillons quotidiennement. Cette année, pour davantage de confort, nous avons installé la climatisation dans les chambres du 2eme étage ; pour un meilleur respect de l’environnement, le chauffage et l’eau chaude sanitaire sont dorénavant produits par l’aérothermie. A la piscine la nouvelle puissante pompe à chaleur garantie une eau très agréable quel que soit l’ensoleillement, les repas cuisinés sur la plancha et dégustés sous les grands parasols en sont d’autant plus appréciés. Nous avons été content que vos parents qui logeaient dans le triplex « la vallière en vue » aient apprécié le petit déjeuner fait maison. Nous serions ravis de vous revoir au château de La Vallière.

Wonderful

Our stay was simply wonderful. The chateau brings you back to ancient times and the photo’s don’t do it enough justice, it look even better in real life. The hosts were lovely and so welcoming. We fed the chickens and petted the horses. The big pool was just a dream, we swam every day. The area itself is also fantastic. There is so much to do. Culture, sport, fine wines, restaurants etcetcetc. I would love to come back and would definitely recommend.

Family trip to Amboise

We enjoyed the pool area , with its bbq and space to seat 3 families across 2 tables , with its lovely evening sun. The kitchen was well equipped , plenty of utensils, and the bedroom layout worked well. The AC in the little apartment was particularly good. We enjoyed seeing Amboise, Blois , Vouvray and took a trip to Saumur. The kids enjoyed the high ropes at Clic Lac, for a day out of the sun . Overall the property worked well, although the décor is a bit tired inside, the outdoor area made up for that.

Fantastic experience

I came to Loire Valley to tour the castles of the region with my wife and two other couples. So, why not stay in a castle ourselves? That's exactly what we did. Alexia, one of the hosts, was there to greet us when we arrived. She showed us around the property (including a pool that sadly we didn't have time to enjoy). While the accommodation was not luxurious (we didnt expect so), we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Alexia provided lots of information about the neighborhood and gave us tips on restaurants and boulangeries. And the location, Amboise, had its own castle as well as a great Da Vinci museum. It was perfect. As a host of a Vrbo property in US, I thought this property was super and I highly recommend this property to anyone who visits Loire Valley.

Wonderful Place

We had a very good time at Chateau la Valliere and highly recommend it. My family of seven (including small kids) was comfortably settled in the maison. The house is centuries old but the bathrooms and kitchen are newly renovated and practical. Rooms are spacious and clean. The owners live there (but totally segregated, providing full privacy) and are very kind and helpful. We even learned from the owners that their family has the chateau since 1595, and it also has some history as Madame Maintenont, who later became spouse of Louis XIV, lived there for some years. We were not lucky with the wheather to enjoy the pool (which seems very good, and is safely secluded), but the wide open green area was great for kids playing. The chateau is 5 minutes from Amboise (and some charming restaurants ans stores), and centrally located for other Vale du Loire chateaux. In summary, we had a good time in a comfortable and fun setting for a fair rate. We hope to visit again soon. Highly recommend for large families, kids.

The pool is lovely and if you are looking for a country experience close to a small city, the location can’t be beat. You are a very short drive from downtown Amboise. The property has horses and chickens, which our kids enjoyed. That being said, some things people should know before booking:First, you don’t have this place to yourself. The owners live there and occupy more than half of the house. They’re friendly and attentive but the listing photos give the impression that you have a “castle” to yourself… it would be more accurate to say you have a partitioned section of a castle to yourself.Second, while there are enough bedrooms to sleep 12 people as advertised, there is very little shared space. There is a smallish living room and a cramped kitchen on the ground level, and then rows of bedrooms on the second and third levels. Summer travelers should know that two bedrooms on the third floor are the only spaces in the house with AC. We were there on very very hot days, so were forced to spend more time inside than we had planned, and the house is not really set up for that. Lastly, the accommodations are spare. You’re basically getting bedding and towels, not much else. You’ll need to do a significant shop before you settle, including for kitchen and bathroom basics.As I said, the owners are friendly and charming, and it’s amazing the property has been in their family for centuries, but given the cost, travelers should be aware this a rustic, no frills experience.

Merci Nathan pour votre appréciation et informations. Point par point je vais clarifier certains éléments afin d’éviter d’éventuelles incompréhensions pour nos futurs hôtes. Comme indiqué dans l’annonce, nous habitons dans le château et une partie est réservée à la location avec entrée indépendante, accès au parc arboré d’un hectare, à l’ensemble du domaine, aux chemins entourant les prairies des chevaux. La grande piscine chauffée (ainsi que son environnement) est entièrement réservée pour le gîte, vous serez seuls à l’utiliser. Il y est également bien précisé que le gîte peut accueillir un maximum de 10 personnes et non 12, à partir de la 11ème personne un deuxième gîte de l’autre côté de la propriété peut être loué. Le château comporte des murs épais, nous conservons une bonne fraicheur dans les chambres du 1er étage ainsi qu’en bas dans le salon à condition, par forte chaleur, de laisser fermer les fenêtres et les portes et d’ouvrir le matin de bonne heure. Pour plus de confort nous avons installés au dernier étage une climatisation réversible dans les deux chambres. Vous nous aviez demandé, juste avant votre séjour, si l’ensemble du gîte était climatisé, (cela était indiqué dans l’annonce) et dans la négative d’installer des ventilateurs dans toutes les pièces, ce que nous avons fait mais encore une fois, tout cela ne peut être efficace en ouvrant les portes et fenêtres durant les journées de chaleurs records que nous venons de subir. Il est aussi indiqué dans le descriptif de la location que les produits de bases sont fournis tels que les produits à vaisselle, à machine à laver, gel douches en quantités suffisantes pour votre séjour. Suite à votre demande, en cours de séjour, nous vous avons fourni d’autre produit pour la machine à laver et ce à hauteur de 4 machines par jour… Vous aviez aussi oublié vos serviettes de piscine… nous vous avons fournis gratuitement le nombre de serviettes souhaitées, et avons été ravis de pouvoir vous rendre service. Soucieux d’améliorer l’expérience de nos hôtes, nous serions très intéressés par le fait de connaitre, en message privé, les fioritures que vous auriez souhaitées.
