Our experience was amazing. We stopped for one night on our outward journey and two on our return. Staff were ultra helpful in terms of accommodating us in extreme heat and making our stay as comfortable as possible. Lovely indoor restaurant and pretty courtyard for outdoor breakfast. Both rooms were charming and setting idyllic with easy access to chateau and parking opposite.

Great place to stay. Very close to the Chateau. Staff was very helpful. No elevator might challenge some, if no ground floor rooms are available.

Great place close to the chateau! Staff was very friendly, room was comfortable, would stay here again

Pleasant property in great location near Chateau. Served a very good breakfast, but meal in Restaurant only average. Enjoyed the bar service very much with charming staff. Good Parking and good room. Thank you

Thé in house restaurant was so nice, food, service and value. The property was within walking distance of Château

We stayed just the one night and it was comfortable and quiet.

Super small boutique hotel in the centre of the village. The lady on reception was super efficient. The room was large for the family and had fans to keep us cool.

We had visited Villandry last year during our holiday in The Loire and decided to stay overnight on our way to The Dordogne this year. The Columbien is located in centre of village and a short walk to chateau and gardens (definitely worth a visit). Hotel is a bit like a 'rabbit warren'. Rooms are adequate but no air con only fans. We dined off the a la carte menu and food was very good. Staff attentive and very pleasant. Hotel also has a brasserie offering quicker bites. There is no parking on site but public car park opposite is free. Overall, a decent hotel, just needs a bit of an update.

the hotel staff were welcoming and the village was delightful to wander round in the evening. The dinner in the restaurant was as good as we hoped it would be . likewise the breakfast was excellent. The room was spacious and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay! Site was comfortable. Staff generally helpful, but was a little weird about some requests. For example, when asked for ice to chill a bottle of wine, we were given a dog bowl with some ice. That wasn't really appreciated

Excellent location for visiting various chateaux in the region. Free car parking just across the road. Wonderful restaurant on site and great selection of croissant, breads, meats, cheeses, fresh fruits etc for breakfast each day

Very nice room in an excellent location. Lovely town and of course the Chateau and gardens.

great location for cycling or walking up and down the Loire or the Cher. Very close to the chateau of Villandry where you can see the fascinating ornamental vegetable gardens. We had two lovely evening meals mainly going for the specials, but the wine was quite expensive.

It was perfect! Would not have changed a thing.

Clean tidy comfortable except that the beds are very hard,apart from that great.

A charming hotel in a small village. We spent 2 nights in this hotel on our way from Spain back to England. It is just about 100m from the Chateau and Gardens of Villandry and an excellent base for visiting other Chateaux and wineries in the Loire valley. The service and food in the restaurant were excellent if not exactly cheap. I Would definitely recommend this hotel.

fantastic food and amazing garden courtyard. the setting of the hotel and the restaurant and the rooms was wonderful. beautiful old town and close to the Loire Valley bike trail

A very comfortable and well furnished hotel. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Beautiful village, although being out of season meant it was very quiet. Ideal location for exploring the area. We got there about 9.30pm and found the hotel shut up however - it would have been good if it had been made clear we needed to let them know our arrival time as there was no function on this website to do so (more a criticism of this site than the hotel however). They were quick to arrive and let us in however as soon as I rang them. It is also worth bearing in mind that arriving at 9.30pm nothing was open even for a light snack. The wine shop and bar up the road was well worth a visit - very friendly and had an excellent selection of local wine by the glass and a good rustic menu too.

Comfortable and friendly hotel, but not ideal for people of restricted mobility - I found the spiral staircase to the rooms slightly challenging

The Coquelicot family room is great if you are travelling with small kids, it has its own kids TV and bathroom and is spacious and well equipped. The service was professional and friendly - and happy to deal with a 5 year old and a baby. We had a very nice dinner - perhaps a little overpriced (especially the kids menu) - but there are plenty of other eating options in the vicintiy. The breakfast was the weakest element, especially the coffee - but again perfectly adequate, and it is optional, so alternative breakfast options can be explored. The hotel is conveniently located to explore the Loire between Tours and Saumur; we all enjoyed our stay and would happily go back again.
