“Exceptional place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

It is hard to know what to say about this B & B because words cannot do justice to it. La Maison certainly lives up to its reputation. It is beautiful, historic, reasonably priced and with a perfect view of the chateau. Philippe and Christine are the ultimate hosts. They rightly take pride in the property that they have immacutely renovated. They are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfasts were delicious and generous (Christine makes the best boiled eggs!), and we particularly loved the animated discussions. Philippe should be an actor! This really is the best place to stay in France and we will definitely be back.

Oh yes..! fantastic guests, you are..! , we received many Australians this year, and always very warm and friendly guests,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your small family of treasure hunters... we are very pleased to have news from you these days.
Thank You, Skye, very much for this very nice review, and for the memory of your stay like a great souvenir for us, laughing a lot together.... about your next team of kangaroos(not afraid in the dark..) to excavate the secret galleries to find the treasure...LOL.. "private joke" ;-)
We look forward to welcoming you again here. Let us wish you and Jon, Bella and Celie a Happy New Year 2012 with our best wishes....Philippe and Chistine

“The perfect place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

Absolutely, hands down, the best place we stayed! Beautiful, comfortable, amazing location, fantastic hosts (including departing bottle of Loire Valley wine), extremely affordable and with a story behind it. Just what you're after in the Loire.

“Simply lovely!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

If you are looking for that "perfect French experience" - look no further. This is it! Christine and Phillipe could not have been more kind and helpful.. (They also speak English which is a huge bonus!) A beautiful B & B with charm and character beyond your wildest dreams! Highly recommended!

“One of the best B&B's we have stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. The house has wonderful character and the rooms were delightful. Our room had a gorgeous shower built into a hidden doorway in the bookcase which turned out to be in the turret of the castle-like house. The house is kept to a very high standard and breakfast offered enough food to last you well beyond lunch time. The hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating, helping us organize tours of the wine regions and helping us book tastings at some of the cellars in the region. At less than €100 per night, it was also terrific value for money. Once settled, the small town and local restaurants are within easy walking distance. Loches is a wonderful little medieval town with a castle at the top of the town that contains a lovely restaurant.

Thank you very much for this fabulous review's title on Tripadvisor, we are very proud if you enjoyed your stay at home.
It was maybe a bit short to discover other wineyards from our great and famous Wine Valley; we have so many (and many are some of the best in France...) but you have tasted allready enough to be obliged to come back...!!! LOL ... It will be a pleasure for us to welcome you back....and we shall speak, this time, about local cheeses and the best associations with wines... such a program..!... We have treasures,here, about (good) "food & beverage" ancestral culture. We, French, love it.... Philippe & Christine

“Don't Miss Staying Here - One of the Best We have Ever Stayed At”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Thank you, thank you, thank you....for all both of you did to help make our trip so perfect. You bent over backward to make sure every detail was taken care of....the phone calls you made, the places you arranged, the pillows you gave us so i could sit in the most uncomfortable car we have EVER rented anyway (being 5' tall it isn't easy to find a car that fits and this auto was the worst).
Breakfast was something you only dream about....complete with homemade yogurt! who said the French are not nice people....we are here to tell everyone: STAY HERE you will not regret it ... That is if you can get in, as they are booked lots of the time. Enjoy. Dee & Dick Bittman, Naples, FL

Room Tip: It doesn't matter - we saw them all any they were all great.
