We enjoyed our 5 nights in the Boulangerie. Wonderful accommodations. Both the breakfasts and the dinners were excellent. Jerome has a wide selection of local wine and will provide good guidance. We also enjoyed our wine tour with Alain. The Chinon area is a very good location for touring the west part of the Loire valley. A big thank you... More

We LOVED this hotel. A very romantic, French feel. The meals and wine were first class and what you would expect from something of this standard. The rooms were a great size, and I loved the French style. Jerome couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and we will come back, time and time again!!

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Chateau Charge in La Roche Clermault. Our accommodations were very spacious with a comfortable sitting area and a large and modern bathroom. Our hosts, Charlotte and Gerome, were friendly and charming and very helpful with tips on market days in local villages and best routes for getting around the area. Breakfast choices are... More

Thank goodness for Trip Advisor... how could one find places like this quaint B&B without the help of the internet. This place deserves it's number one ranking along with all the praises it has been receiving. I have been to Paris many times but have never ventured too far away from the city. Upon receiving an e-mail citing the 10... More

We recently had 3 wonderful nights staying in the old bake house. Our hosts Jerome and Charlotte certainly know how to look after their guests and were always available. We also enjoyed our evening meals cooked by chef and accompanied by a local bottle of wine available from jerome's cellar. Also did the wine tour with Alan and would recommend... More

A beautiful charming old chateau with all modern conveniences and a design that mixes contemporary features and timeless beauty. Very sweet and caring owners/managers. Always ready to give a great advice on where to take a walk or a bike trip. A healthy and yet fulfilling breakfast with lots of choices for both continental and English guests. A delight to... More

We so enjoyed our stay at the Loire Valley Retreat! The hospitality, the accommodations, the food, the wine, the chance to explore the caves, the advice on markets and tasting rooms and castles – everything was perfect. We very much admire Charlotte and Jerome, their home, and their venture, and look forward to more visits in future years. My family... More

Better late than never... We had an absolutely marvelous time with Jerome and Charlotte during our stay two years ago this month. The bathroom was larger than the bedroom we had in Paris. The food, wine, and setting were all perfect. We will return and recommend without reservation.

My husband and I spent three days here at the end of April and we enjoyed every minute. Charlotte and Jerome are very friendly and go far above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. This location is within a nice distance to the many chateaus in the Loire Valley, as well as several smaller towns... More
