Very nice hostess who provides a comfortable and clean accommodation on her family's working vinyard. Our room was on the first floor, was very clean and everything worked. Furnishings are rustic and we enjoyed that they were homey and inviting. Breakfast was plentiful with croissant, bread, jams, cheeses, and yougart. We had the treat of fresh figs from the farm. This is not a posh hotel, but an old farmhouse. It is well maintained and was perfect for us to escape from the centers of tourism.||||This location is not far from Amboise (5-10 minutes) and we easily traveled to 3 Chateaus each day of our stay. The treat is that you are in the country and awaken to views of vines and neighboring horse ranch, but no roosters. :) Your hostess speaks English, gave us great recommendations for touring and dinner, and made dinner reservations for us.

Read moreChateau de Pintray is peaceful, restful, comfortable and charming. The signs of faded glory past are easily compensated by the ambiance and friendliness of the establishment. We had the larger ground floor room, which is elaborately decorated and furnished, and has a very comfortable bed, plenty of hot water and plenty of space.: we felt thoroughly happy with our choice of place to stay. The location of Chateau de Pintray is very rural, being surrounded by vines and arable farm land. However, Amboise is only 6 km away and has numerous restaurants, while St Martin le Beau is only 3 km distant with the very acceptable Auberge de la Treille. Anne is a wonderful hostess and has plenty of suggestions for daily itineraries, produces a very good petit dejeuner to start the day, and should definitely be consulted on choice of restaurants...
