Overall Ratings & Reviews Château de la Bourdaisière

We were so excited to stay here for our time in Loire valley to drive around and tour castles. It was neat to stay on the grounds of one of these chateaus and it was a good location for that! Unfortunately, it’s a bit outdated as far as amenities (which, you might expect for a building this old)—no AC, rickety stairs, and hard to navigate with a suitcase. We slept with the windows open since we were there during a heatwave and because there were no window screens, ended up with bug bites. We had dinner on site; service was friendly but food was plain for the price. Left early to catch a train in the morning and got sprayed by the sprinklers as soon as we stepped out the door, the final straw after navigating the dark hallways and tripping down some stairs in an unlit hallway. Overall, would mayyybe stay here again if we came in fall or spring when weather is more temperate, but would plan to eat elsewhere and bring my husband to take the luggage up :)

Feel like a nobleman, live in a castle

The evening meal was very poor .There was no choice and the main course was rice and veal but neither had any seasoning For 33 euros ahead it was very poor value and the three courses were served in under half an hour . We will not return again although we stayed two years ago was fine but we did not eat in the hotel

Staff was great! The breakfast was great! The classic old Chateau was beautiful and had been nicely modernized in the rooms while the main building still had its old charm. Wonderful to stay there.

It was a unique experience

Stop looking - stay here! The staff was kind and helpful and the property and chateau are gorgeous. One of the favorite places we've ever stayed. Take advantage of a wonderful dinner there or they also have good recommendations for local places to dine and visit. Highly, highly recommended.

5 stars all the way. Great staff

Excellent Exceptionnel

It was a 15th century château, it was a great and very rare experience to stay in the building like that. It was extensive garden. The château was well preserved with the necessary mod con added to make our stay very comfortable. Margot was very pleasant and helpful to theguests and had good suggestions for local places & vigneyards to visit. I would love to re-visit Loire valley and stay at the château again.

Nice location and garden. No heating. Very humid in October. Great look . Access not so easy

Beautiful château in a fantastic quiet setting. Able to accommodate parking my bicycle safely there. The room was well presented, tidy and well furnished. The lounge was great to sit and relax with a drink with drinks brought to your seat. Hot drinks also available. The breakfast was also very good with a good selection available of pastries, bread, fruit, yogurt and cereal. Freshly squeezed juice, excellent coffee.

A SPECTACULAR Chateau,,,slept in a castle room that was FANTASTIC...beautiful grounds & wonderful staff...one of our best stays in France

The chateau was beautiful. And the grounds are beatiful. We had tequested the lovely luxury room photographed in the listing and even after a second email to reconfirm our request, we did not receive the room we requested. It would have been appreciated to have received communication from the chateau that they were not able to accommodate our request. On a different note, we felt the breakfast did not meet the level of excellence that would be expected from a hotel of this level and there was an additional charge for it. We were asked what we wanted the night before and our eggs were not delivered, our coffee, came late and was cold, our suggestion would be to offer a buffet with better choices appropriate to the level of service of a 4 star accommodation. We cancelled our breakfast for the last two days of our stay as we were so dissappointed in the choices and quality on our first morning. This is a lovely location that needs to improve their breakfast service.

Second time in this hotel and next year will have a wedding there. It's so beautiful, a real castle experience! Love it!!!

Beautiful property; staff very helpful and professional. Would definitely stay there again

The castle is amazing and the room was big and very comfortable. Breakfast is interesting as you need to tell them what you want (ie. coffee or tea, juice, cereal and what type) the night before. The property where the castle is is huge and has tons to explore. We loved our stay

Amazing property in beautiful grounds. Room was in need of some renovation. Stains on the carpet and walls and furniture was damaged and not what we expected for a superior room - it didn’t seem to match the room that was shown on the booking website but it was a property full of character and interest. The shower was lovely. Sadly we were informed by telephone just before we arrived that the restaurant was not going to be open. This was one of the main reasons for booking a hotel with a restaurant on site and we had to make do with a sandwich from a service station, which was not how we planned to spend the last night of our holiday. Also no kettle or facilities for making a hot drink in the room. No bar, although advertised, but we were told that the hotel staff could get us a drink if we requested one. There was not a menu for this and felt difficult. The staff were all friendly and cheerful, despite obviously having had a very busy weekend. We had to wait over an hour for our room to be ready, however we did enjoy looking round the shop and gardens. Would have preferred to have arrived and had a nice cup of coffee after a six hour drive. We also had to decide what our breakfast choice was going to be on arrival. At this point we had no idea what we might fancy and found breakfast underwhelming tbh. Felt this could have been an amazing stay but just lacked the finishing touches that we had experienced in the other hotels on our trip (in the same price range).

We enjoyed our two night stay at Château de la Bourdaisière. It was our first time staying in a chateau, and we found the experience to be memorable. The cheateau grounds are beautiful, the room we had was spacious (with a large bathroom that had both a shower and tub), and the staff was very welcoming. Both the interior and exteriors were clean. We dined wine the hotel twice — once for breakfast and once for dinner. The breakfast was continental style. We enjoyed it. The dinner was underwhelming (maybe it was just that particular night, since they rotate the menu). I would plan on eating out in Amboise or Tours, which are a short drive away. Overall, I would recommend the chateau for other guests, and I would be happy to stay again.
