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.

Gorgeous bed and breakfast, located on what was formerly King's land!…read more Location: surrounded by French countryside. And you're within an hour of several gorgeous castles. What's not to love? Decor: The main reception building/kitchen/dining room is a 16th century building, with many of the original trimmings in the arches, fireplaces, and doorways (and possibly some of the furniture). Service: Pascal was incredibly nice! He doesn't speak a lot of English, but it was still conveyed that he was incredibly friendly. Breakfast was beautiful. It included fruits (topped with a small logo chocolate), Pancakes (thick "dollar" pancakes or crepe style), French bread with 3 types of jam (one of which was an orange jam from his family's farm in France), and a small cake. There's also the option to add eggs from the b&b's own farm, either in the form of an omelette (delicious! & with cheese!) or eggs(/"soldiers") in a basket. Bacon or a butter croissant were also extra options. Things to note: The WiFi left something to be desired. The bathroom is split. The toilet is downstairs, and the sink + shower/tub were upstairs. Use the kitchen sink downstairs If you want to avoid walking all the way up after you use the restroom, just make sure you have soap down there. On the tub--Make sure you sit in the tub and spray (as instructed by a tiny nondescript side above the sink [which should probably be laminated and moved to the tub area]), or you will end up with a Very wet floor, and a very frustrated Pascal + his sister. All in all, a gorgeous place to rest and unplug, in between hanging out at all the castles. Just make sure you sit in the tub.
