Decent place for a night; inaccurate description

The hotel description does not mention that the hot tub and sauna are only available for an extra fee. The beds were not comfortable, and the air condition unit was not sufficient for the room so it remained hot. The pool was small and very crowded, and the wood around the pool was rotten in spots. The view from the area was beautiful, and the service and drinks in the bar were good. Reception was friendly once I found her (no one was available upon arrival for about 10-15 minutes).

Everything was wonderful. I stayed there 5 days and tried everything, le petit déjeuner delicious, le dîner incredible ! Only thing I didn’t know is that I had to pay extra to enjoy the jacuzzi (why isn’t it included ?). I needed it to warm up bc coming from Miami, the drop in temperature was brutal :). But it’s ok I still loved it ! Thank you !

Amazing view and best dinners!

It was just perfect. The room had all confort and the view was just amazing. Newly studios for all comforts. The cherry on the cake Is the restaurant. We were welcomed by Benoit, the restaurant owner and he made our dinners the best experience in Saumur. He was kind and welcoming notably with our kid. A true family- run experience, we felt at home!

The food in the on site restuarant was amazing, the chef employed their is an artist with her food. The room was very comfortable and perfect for our needs, slight downside for it is the distance from the town centre, but the staff would be happy to order you a taxi should you want to head in to town for the evening.

Didn't realize we had booked a cottage/apartment vs standard room, but so glad we did! Didn't need/utilize the kitchen, but really appreciated the large, bright room, "dining" table and private deck. Wonderful peaceful setting and easy drive to the Tank Museum and Riding School (about 5minutes down the road).

Was better two years ago

We stayed in 2016 and again in Sept 2018. It was a much more pleasent experience last time. The room this time was at the top of several flights of stairs and we had a lot of luggage to carry up. The view wasn't great as not facing Saumur but the house opposite. We arrive 40 mins early but the reception desk was closed for check in so we had a drink in the bar, at an outside table. It was busy in the restaurant and the staff didn't pay much attention to us. Eventually we got a cup of tea for €3.50 but it was a tiny cup, not very warm and didn't come with any milk.

The only negative comment i have about the hotel is the hours of the front desk. Coming from the US, it would have been nice to have 24 hour front desk service. The hours are from 7:30am- 10:00pm. Other than that the view was breathtaking and staff outstanding.

Quiet & well serviced

This hotel is located 5km from Saumur and overlooks the city. It is in a quiet location, next to an aerodrome, which seems to be used for sky-diving. It is well-appointed, with modern furnishing. It has an open air swimming pool and an excellent restaurant. We used it twice in a week on our outward and return journeys and were most impressed. It also could be a good venue for visiting the region. However, there are no bars or restaurants within walking distance.

Nice hotel in the countryside

We were traveling as a family and needed 4 family rooms and they had them. We are grateful for GPS because it helped us find something that would have been difficult. It was not too far from the Caves restaurant where we also had reservations for dinner. We had the breakfast, and some children swam in the very nice pool. It was a nice experience for all.
