My husband and I just spent two nights last week (unfortunately not more) at this most delightful and enchanting chateau in Saumur; we had just before stayed near Amboise to visit the chateaux in that area, east of Tours, and then drove west to Saumur to tour Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau... this chateau has been lovingly restored to the highest level of quaity with exceptional attention to detail - if you really appreciate fine taste, this will not disappoint! From the moment you enter the electric gates, you perceive that you have a special experience awaiting you; the common areas (formal living room, dining room, entry hall with professional floral arrangement) exude an refined elegance from days past that draws you in, very relaxing and calming...not stuffy or "museum-like" at all; we also appreciated the fact that there is an elevator for those not wanting to use the (gorgeous)staircase each time you leave and enter... the charming and bright breakfast room on the lower level was a welcome delight each morning and the food and presentation excellent... the landscaping is lovely and the grounds are attractive to stroll...Saumur has great restaurants (they will recommend the best value/quality ones) and is very charming to wander and explore... a great launching spot for discovering Loire wine producers as well of course as visiting the area's chateaux... don't miss this one.. the pricing is fair and totally worth it ... and the host and hostess and their dog are wonderful!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying here for three nights in May. The chateau has been restored by its owners and it was truly a labor of love--grand, elegant and immensely comfortable. Our room and bath were spacious and beautifully decorated. The large, well-appointed bath was perfect for luxuriating. We especially appreciated the enthusiastic nightly greeting by their house dog, Uno (not allowed in guests quarters). Breakfast was satisfying and included breads, fruit, yogurt, cereals, hot beverages...

The owners were very helpful and accomodating; suggesting sites worth seeing or skipping, scheduling dinner reservations, and even offering to pick us up from the restaurant if it began to rain.

We highly recommend Chateau De Verrieres.

We wanted a stay in France away from the daily grind of life and to be able to recharge our batteries in luxurious surrounds , and that is exactly what we achieved.The Chateau and the owners welome you when you book, when you arrive and when you leave.Ever attentative but never intrusive , every thing and anything is done to ensure your stay in their home and in their country is a pleasent, fullfilling and memorable experience.
The rooms are just sheer French indulgence, the bathroom as luxurious as could be imagined, the decoration decadent but complimentary, the Chateau oozes charm and opoluence of a bygone age.
Must see when you are there is the Cadre Noir, even if you are not an equine fundi , you will be in awe of these wonderful creatures and the devotion to them.The area is for the very fact you are in the Loire, well provided for by wine farms , which Thierey the owner will only be to pleased to direct you to, Saumur with it's wonderful cafes and restaurants, or just sit in the gardens of the Chateau as time is measured by the turn of the page of that book you always wanted to read.
The Chateau is easy to find , central to everything both by foot or by car.
Must mention the dog, when the electric gates open, do not worry as my wife did, that he will leave the grounds of the Chateau.We will be remembered as that odd English/South African couple who waited for the gates to close behind us before we went on our way thus ensureing the Chien had not got out - why would it, when it's home is the Chateau.

We stayed at Chateau Verrieres in early August, the hotel is very elegant and comfortable and the welcome from the owners and Uno the dog is very warm, they do everything possible to make you feel at home and all really lovely.
Unfortunately I got sick on the way to France from England, so arrived and went straight to bed, but they could not have been kinder and looked after me so well. As a result I got to know our very beautiful room well, it was right over the main door of the chateau with 10 foot double glass doors out to a small balcony and a wonderful free standing bath - I felt like a character from a romantic novel swooning and being ill in such palatial surroundings! We cannot recommend this enough and also really enjoyed Saumur.
