Domaine de l'Arbrelle

Luxurious bedding, fabulous rain shower, beautiful grounds, thoughtful staff! And they have the most amazing coffee machine that grinds the beans exactly for your selection and then brews it to perfection! Lovely for a stay in the center of the Loire castle country.

We really loved this hotel, built around old farm buildings in a 20 acre estate. We booked for two nights, and chose it especially for the swimming pool, the rural location, and the proximity to several Chateaux and vineyards. The room was very comfortable and with a bigger bed than other places we had stayed in. French door led to our own private patio. A really lovely place to take a break in between hectic visits to Chateaux - although the pool was a little chilly in September. My husband really enjoyed having all the space to go for a jog, and the fact that it was once a golf course. A good safe place to park our classic cars as well. We felt that it would be a really nice place for a family as well. Breakfast was extra, and very good. The owners advised us to try the One Michelin Star Lion d'Or restaurant in Amboise and the food was excellent, and not too expensive either. Lots of other interesting places to eat in Amboise, including a place that had its own beer brewery called Art is an Ale.

Nothing!

The setting and grounds were lovely. Very peaceful. Perfect for visiting the chateau Amboise. The staff were very helpful and made recommendations which made our stay all the better.

Sloping ceilings in the attic room would not suit a tall person.
