The host was superb, friendly efficient greeting. The place is so central. It was really good to be have communal tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was well presented and as I was travelling further south it was super to be able to get up, eat and be on my way.

Lovely decoration, a lot of thought has gone into the renovation. Lovely bathroom. Hosts very kindly came to the property as I had lost my phone and they had not had a response to their checking in messages.
Hotel with 14 rooms, including 2 family rooms for 6 people. The establishment was renovated in 2022. Free WiFi, free bike parking, and closed parking available.

The Abbaye is impressive and fascinating to explore (allow a full day) but if the Modern Art Museum is closed ( as it was during our stay) there isn't a great deal more to see in the town.
Saumur (20 minutes away) is a good place to go (we found a vast array of restaurants including a truly outstanding Lebanese and a fusion French/Colombian) and the Domaines for wine ( we visited Gratien & Meyer) are superb and you get to visit the vast tunnels under the cliffs and also taste (and buy probably!)

Magical place with lots to do.
Magical place with lots to do. Enjoyed the art museum and wandered around the grounds. Didn't know that there were beautiful places to eat and drink until we were walking around the grounds - wasn't flagged up and needs to be.
Absolutely loved the buildings but a lot to do in one visit. Could have taken a couple of days to see everything and enjoy the gardens.

Staff is wonderful, rooms adequate but beds in serious need of replacement. The TV in the room had English channels which was great and the location could not be better but the food via room service was appallingly bad.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location.
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Not a fan of the expensive breakfast that was ‘style over substance’ and couldn’t get WiFi to work. Overall pluses were so strong would recommend.
Free access to the historic, beautiful Abbey complex absolutely made our stay, especially the sound and light show at night.

I went to the new Art Exhibition and had to leave after seeing that. It was incredible and I wish I had been able to take more time.
I have visited the Abbey several times previously and love the place.

Fontevraud-l'Abbaye is a fantastic attraction that has been carefully restored over the last thirty or more years. It was famously used as prison for a period. The prisoners complained to the state that it was a tragic use of such an important monument.
This is where Henri II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart and Isabel of Angouleme chose to be buried. Sensational.
The Michelin starred restaurant on site is also remarkable and an amazing setting.

This quaint small house was a great home base for our exploration of the Loire Valley. It is centrally located in the lovely village of Fontevraud l'Abbaye, just a short walk from the World Heritage Site. We enjoyed the classic feel of the town, the weekly Wednesday market, as well as the gorgeous woods nearby. With a rental car, there is easy access to many wineries and chateaux nearby.
Charming and engaging host; beautifully appointed room in a delightful village. Nothing was too much trouble, breakfast was delicious and recommendations for dinner and evening viewing of son et lumiere at the Abbaye made for a memorable stay.
We were a group of four on a cycle tour. The hotel provided us with two good rooms with separate beds and secure bike storage. We also ate well at dinner and breakfast. It is perfectly situated in the centre of town.
The rooms were on the small size but super comfortable, full of nice details, and with a lovely view over the abbey grounds. In the morning, getting to visit the abbey before people arrive is a great experience as well.
breath takingly beautiful hotel, situated in the peaceful and secluded monastery abbaye de fontevraude.
nice and comfortable rooms. very nice staff.
the restaurant serves superb high quality food as well
The family that run the hotel are charming and accommodating. I will book directly with the hotel when I stay again. The breakfast and the way it is run is excellent and the restaurant is spot on.
The hotel is located inside the builduings of the abbey. Really nice! The restaurant is also a highlight because they cook mainly with vegetables that grow in the abbey. Breakfast was very good.
Location! so gorgeous in the Abbaye. Hotel is in a gorgeous building. Michelin starred hotel was great, and then we walked round the Abbaye for the most amazing light show once it got dark.
The hotel was ideal for our family. It was a good price, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, there was a lovely breakfast in the morning and the location was perfect
The restaurant on the property was lovely and the hotel breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The pool and whirlpool were a treat and the soap boutique was fun to shop in.
Gorgeous, shabby chic style hotel - authentic,
French experience in a beautiful old building.
Soap shop is an added bonus, lots of beautiful
goodies that make great gifts.
This hotel is STUNNING. I’ve never before cancelled a planned activity just to stay around the hotel and explore. It is worth and afternoon all to itself.
