“Superb stay at Chateau la Marquise”

We had a superb stay in the Chateau la Marquise. Our hosts were very warm and welcoming. The Chateau and grounds were so peaceful and full of character. The fresh local produce at breakfast was perfect. We absolutely loved our short stay and will definitely be back again sometime in the future.

“Glamorous property, fabulous hosts”

We were lucky enough to be booked into this property as part out our bike tour through the Liore Valley, and all I can say is: wow! I don't this there is anywhere else you can be made to feel like such royalty. The Chateaux is grand, we'll maintained, and beautiful. It sits on large, lush ground... more

We were lucky enough to be booked into this property as part out our bike tour through the Liore Valley, and all I can say is: wow! I don't this there is anywhere else you can be made to feel like such royalty. The Chateaux is grand, we'll maintained, and beautiful. It sits on large, lush grounds and there are beautiful views through all the windows. Our room was very well appointed, clean, and quiet. Although we came during the shoulder season and the hotel was largely vacant, there was no expense spared at breakfast time, with a full spread put out full of luxurious local goodies. Best of all though, are the hosts. They went well out of their way to made sure we felt comfortable, and helped us navigate the area with our very limited (to non-existent) french. From reservations to helping us get to the train station, we were immediately greated with a friendliness that is hard to find on such travels. All in all, I very highly recommend this hotel. It offers a very unique and enjoyable experience that will leave us with happy memories for years to come.

“Disappointingly average stay, disengaged staff, lonely and dark at night”

My family and I elected to stay here (formerly Chateau Marquise) because of the excellent reviews on trip advisor. Our stay did not reflect what we had read online from other travelers. While the exterior of the house and the grounds are pretty, it is quite isolated from the center of Saumur (which is not the fault of the hotel but should be noted for others arriving). If you do not rent a car, moving around the area can be quite difficult as the taxi services have a monopoly on transport and are not always reliable. There is plenty of parking on site. The staff are polite but disengaged. The front desk is often “unmanned.” There is no staff on the premises after 9PM. This is not well advertised and would have affected my decision to stay here. There are only ten rooms in the building and not all are occupied. Thus, when the lone staff member leaves at 9PM (and turns off literally all the lights in the hotel hallways and common areas, even the automatic ones triggered by movement), it is lonely and dark. There isn’t even a place to get a glass of water in the dining room after 9. Some of the rooms are quite dated and dusty, others are more fresh. Our rooms were a mix of well cleaned and below average. The bathrooms are spacious with both shower and tub. The hotel breakfast is quite average with supermarket products (yogurts, rolls). I regret participating and spending on the breakfast. The bakeries and restaurants of Saumur are so excellent, the twenty euro a person would have been better spent in the village. Overall, this was not the wisest travel choice I have made. I did not feel safe in the dark and empty chateau at night with no staff and no idea of who else was present. Had I known, I would have made other arrangements. The rest of the stay was not remarkable in any way.
