Our stay at Le Vieux Manoir was magical. It made us wish that the Manoir could have been our permanent, rather than our temporary, home. We were welcomed by our hosts with a glass of wine, which was really appreciated after a slightly harrowing drive from Paris. Our room, overlooking the gorgeous garden, was delightful. The bathtub was the best... more

We are still dreaming of our stay at Le Vieux Manoir, which exceeds our expectations every time. Over the last 3 years, we have enjoyed visits in winter snow (magical!), springtime and summer. We intended only one visit this year for Easter break, which was terrific, but we had such a longing to see Gloria's garden in full bloom that... more

My wife, Isabelle, and I have wanted to visit the Loire valley in France for many years and finally we took the chance this summer. We were looking for a quaint central location from which to visit the numerous chateaux which dot the region. Of course we also wanted to enjoy the famous cuisine and experience the culture. We really... more

We have just returned from our second stay at Le Vieux Manoir - if you want to visit the Loire Valley look no furher than this wonderful hotel. The house has been lovingly restored and beautifully decorated and the gardens are delightful - especially the Mulberry tree at this time of year. You will have a very warm welcome from... more

The owners of Le Vieux Manoir are extraordinary! Gloria and Bob are phenomenal hosts and take care of your every need. From dinner reservations to entertaining conversations in their relaxing gardens, I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Amboise. My family and I have stayed several times at Le Vieux Manoir and each time has been better than the one... more

My wife & I had reservations to stay at Le Vieux Manor for 2 nights, which we had prepaid in advance. Having arrived at 12:30 p.m. and not attempting to check in early, we were told in the rudest manner possible that check-in was at 3:00 p.m., then were abruptly dismissed and sent on our way. Before leaving, we were... more

Management response from

We have been waiting for a chance to talk about the most frightening experience we have had in ten years of meeting the public.. When this guest arrived, his hostile mood was so evident that our guests who were leaving and have stayed with us since 2005, commented on his manner. Before he and his wife left, I gave them...

Everything about this beautiful French "manoir" is first rate, We were greeted by our hosts Bob & Gloria with a glass of chilled white wine and delightful conversation. Before we even made it to our room we had made new friends! Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was herty and delicious and Gloria was so helpful, she even... more

From the moment that we first stepped inside and Gloria offered us a cool glass of wine (on a warm day), we knew we were going to like Le Vieux Manoir. For our entire three-night stay, we were made to feel like Bob and Gloria's personal guests, not customers or hotel guests. This property has been beautifully restored and exquisitely... more

This was our third stay at Le Vieux Manoir, so it hardly needs to be said that we thoroughly enjoy it. We have stayed in three different rooms and had a wonderful time in each one. Bob and Gloria are a great resource on the French culture and the surrounding area. They provide maps to specific sites and will guide... more

This is only the second review I've ever written. I'm doing so because of the beauty and quality of this B&B. The architecture and decorations are exquisite. The garden is lush and serene. My wife and I stayed in the Colette Room that overlooks the front. I could live there in a heartbeat. The owners and hosts, Gloria and Bob,... more
