+ Sebastien, the owner of this extraordinary property, was a warm and welcoming host. The word unique is over used, however with Les Douves it truly applies. Our room, in the base of the chateau’s former tower, was comfortable and filled with original art. We were fascinated each morning with the birds, garden, sculptures, boats. Very peaceful.

+ Beautiful, romantic setting with interesting history. Our rooms were a joy. Great location for exploring Loire, and in a small town. Sebastian was an excellent host.
− Bath water not very hot, but a minor issue. It’s a very old property.

+ This is a very special place to stay and use as a base for exploring the Loire Valley. Sebastian made every effort for us to be comfortable and the small village is also lovely with everything you need and great food options. Highly recommended.
