4.5 stars We had a delightful, 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. read more
