Guest Reviews:
- "Beautifully renovated chateau full of rich history that the owners are happy to share with you! Tour by Gael was fantastic and homemade breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend anybody visiting the Loire region to visit." - "A little taste of what it might have felt like to be a part of the French aristocracy. We felt like house guests of the charming Gael and Cecil. Don’t miss Gael’s tour, it truly places the chateau and its environs in historical and modern perspective. All we needed was a hunting outing to make it complete. Comfortable bed, luxuriant bathroom and products, delicious croissant and homemade honey and jams. Close enough to everything but far enough to feel like a true country escape. An easy launching to Chambord, Blois and Amboise."

- "Everything was perfect. The staff was very friendly, the environment was comfortable and intimate, the decor was beautiful, and it was amazing to soak in the jacuzzi while it was raining. This stay was an unforgettable experience for me. The hotel's dinner was also very delicious, the chef was handsome, and the ingredients were very fresh, sourced from the forest, private garden, and local suppliers. Surrounded by the forest at night and awakened by nature in the morning, it felt like we rediscovered our inner peace! We will definitely come back if we have the chance in the future!"

- "The location was perfect--immediately off the city center! There were 3 great restaurants and the church within steps of the hotel. The staff was very accommodating and friendly--I had to check out very early, so they made sure my car was parked at the exit of the small parking lot so I could leave without any delays. The room was cosy, clean, and comfortable. As a solo female traveler and I felt very safe in Saumur and at Hôtel St Pierre." - "Perfect sized boutique hotel with lovely comfortable rooms and excellent service."

- "Very nice location and excellent host!" - "We liked the calm, the charming way the house was furnished, the spacious rooms and bathrooms and of course the inviting garden. Catherine and her husband were very welcoming hosts who took care of every need and wish. Breakfast was wonderful and the downstairs living area perfect to cool down during the heatwave we experienced. Could not have asked for a better place to stay in this area. Also we found some interesting restaurants hidden away in the industrial area around this oasis."
