My wife and I recently moved to Paris, and we've started to explore various regions of France. Using Rick Steve's book, we chose to stay and eat at Moulin du Fief Gentil, a bit unsure what to expect, as it sounded 'unique.' As it turned out, our evening there was both unique and magical, far exceeding our fondest hopes. Frankly,... More

My husband and I booked several nights at Moulin du Fief Gentil, in order to tour the Loire Valley. After our first, very rainy day of chateau-hopping, we arrived back at the B&B soaked to the skin, looking forward to a hot shower. The four towels that were rationed (I had to plead with Fleurence for a wash cloth), were... More

Moulin du Fief is near Chateau de Chenonceau and an easy drive to Cheverny. After a day of sightseeing, sitting under a lovely tree by the pond was both relaxing and rejuvenating. Our room was spacious and immaculate and the food was excellent. The owner, Florence, was very helpful in recommending local restaurants. The highlight of our stay was a... More

We chose to stay outside the main tourist area of Amboise. Bléré is a small town about 15 minutes from Amboise and Chenonceau. We stayed in an atmospheric and comfortable, 400 year old mill property with a lovely pond and gardens, and a charming hostess/chef. The common areas of Le Moulin are very comfortable and well-stocked. Le Moulin du Fief... More

We stayed in Moulin du Fief Gentilfor 3 nights in June 2011. It was the most enjoyable experience. Florence and François, the owners, are just wonderful! Highly recommended.

Our stay here was a highlight in our journey through the Loire Valley, with its very convenient location for easy drives to Amboise, Vouvray, and Chenonceau. Our room was great, and Florence is a wonderful hostess. Fortunately, we were there on a night where she offered a home cooked dinner - complete with lively conversation with Florence and the other... More

The location, accommodations, and the host were all first class. We found out about the Mill through a relative who stayed there and double checked reviews on TA. We checked in around 6 and guess what, it was a holiday and nearly everything was closed, including the restaurants. Florence, the host, immediately got on the phone and made a reservation... More

This is a beautiful and peaceful authentic Mill which has a lovely large back yard and a small private lake. There are 4 rooms next the main unit and one large suite on the 2nd floor of the main unit. The location is great and best for star trips in the center Loire Valley region and all its famous Chateaus... More

We liked the Moulin du Fief Gentil so much we extended our stay. It was a great base to explore the Loire--just wish we'd had more time. Three days is not enough! The accommodations are spotless, and little things like water bottles are thoughtfully provided. The common space has a small refrigerator with juice and soft drinks, and you can... More
