How has nobody reviewed this amazing b&b yet?!? My boyfriend and I came to France for a little over…read morea week and spent time in Paris, Vouvray, Chinon, and Amboise. I know, we get around. At the end of the trip, we both agreed that we wish we had spent more time in Vouvray, and this was largely due to the hospitality of the Bertrands. Absolutely the most gracious hosts we have ever come across, more than we could ever hope for. We had gotten in a little fender bender before arriving in our rental car, and they were so kind that they actually came in with us when we dropped our car off to ensure proper communication (neither of us spoke French very well) and make sure everything was taken care of. Who does that? We were honestly blown away. Gorgeous, well-maintained house. The room that we stayed in was huge and came with a full sitting room and spa-quality bath. Breakfast was delicious, and they even made reservations for us to have dinner at a place they recommended in town, which was amazing. One of the bes meals we had in France. They looked after us as if we were close friends or even family, not just random strangers paying for a place to sleep. If all bed and breakfasts were so incredible, I swear I would never go home.

4.5 stars We had a…read moredelightful, three-night stay at La Rocheliere. The property is beautiful, built into the side of a cave. The location is great and really central if you want to visit different chateaux in the Loire. We made day trips to Blois, Amboise, Chenonceau, and Chinon, and it was the perfect base. We did have to drive an hour each way some days, but it was a good tradeoff to stay in a comfortable place and not have to worry about packing/unpacking and changing hotels The owner, Anneli, was incredibly nice and gave us a lot of great recommendations for things to do in the area. By the third day, I felt like she was family. She took good care of us, and we liked playing with Jaguar, her enormous, playful dog. Breakfast was simple but good, with a selection of bread and croissants from a local bakery, plus butter, honey, and jam. It came with coffee and juice. The rooms are quite comfortable, but not luxurious. I was quite sore after the third night. We stayed in the cave room, which was really cool, but had a few downsides. The cave room is the only room without wifi, because the wifi can't penetrate the cave walls, but you can use the wifi in the B&B's common kitchen/living area. We knew this in advance and chose the cave room anyway, because we thought it would be awesome to stay in a cave room. Also, the room had a bit of a musty smell, but after visiting a few wine caves, we discovered that this is a smell that all caves have, and there's really no way around it. In terms of toiletries, Anneli provides the basics, like soap, shampoo, and towels, but it's probably worth bringing your own toiletries if you're particular, like I am. If I went back to Vouvray, I would definitely stay at La Rocheliere again, but I would choose one of the non-cave rooms. But if you've never stayed in a cave room before and think it would be cool, it's definitely worth a try.
