We wanted a base from which my wife and I could visit some of the Chateaux of the Loire with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law up from SA on their first ever trip to France. What a great decision it was to use Chateau des Ormeaux (CdO) as our base!!! Easily accessible by hire car from Hertz at Tours / St... More

I was just sending this recommendation to some friends and realized that I had never taken time to review this B&B. Four of us booked this last minute in 2011 and it was one of the surprises of our trip to France. The place is tranquil countryside filled with history and charm. The rooms were upscale cottage with private entrances,... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Chateau des Ormeaux. The rooms are beautiful, the bathrooms are very modern, the breakfasts were delicious and are hosts were very warm and welcoming. This was a great home base for our family of 4 (2 children ages 8 & 10) to explore the beautiful chateaus in the Loire - thank you!!! More

We spent three fantastic days using the Chateau des Ormeaux Amboise as our base. We hired a car from Tours and from the moment we hit the open road we knew we were in for a treat. Wonderful weather, and beautiful scenic drives to all the various Chateaux in the region. Accommodation was perfect for me as a single parent... More

Visiting the Loire Valley what else can be more appropriate than to continue the magic you experience during the day into a real life experience at night, or in the morning. The location of the chateau is perfect, close to the major motorways, not far from the town of... More

My parents and I stayed at Chateau des Ormeaux for 6 nights in late September. We found the location to be very peaceful and in a very charming spot. We stayed in the "Lully" room, which was quite a spacious room, with a separate room for me, which we called the princess room. The bathroom is quite big, with 2... More

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Chateau Ormeaux and found it absolutely charming. The rooms are decorated in keeping with the period but are also very comfortable and well appointed. We stayed upstairs in the main chateaux in a small room with a huge bath. The tub (not uncommon we found) did not have a shower per se,... More

Lovely location, lovely room looking out on an infinity edge pool and football field-sized lawn, great breakfasts in a lovely dining room with fresh croissants and many types of homemade jam, all made at the chateaux. We were in the Couperin room, which had 3 large windows across the front of the chateau including a little turret room. The bathroom... More
