Wonderful,serene grounds and charming place
We thoroughly enjoyed this unique place, right in the center of the lovely village of Onzain. It was so peaceful, you only heard the sounds of doves and nature, while enjoying the fragrance of all sorts of blooming flowers and trees. Our host was charming, his huge friendly dog was a wonderful perk! Beautiful art and sculptures were around the property I recommend staying away from traffic and larger towns for lodging, also rent a tiny car! This is authentic France and it doesn’t get any better! There is also a wonderful restaurant down the street called La Charbonette.

Un hotel de grand charme, un accueil exceptionel!
Planning a trip for Australian friends I booked them for three night at Les Douves. I could not have founded better. Marvellous welcome, beautiful suite in the tower, everything was the best. Excellent assistance to organise restaurants in the evening.My friends phoned me everyday to give me a report... Mr Gresse and family are delightful.
A MUST, WITHOUT ANY... HESITATION

Unusual
Great location, 8 km from Chaumont sur Loire castle.
Unusual place surrounded by a moat with pretty gardens
Large room with decor that matches the owner's tastes (modern canvases) but which takes away a little charm from the place
Beautiful bathroom with shower and bathtub

Enchanting Escape in Beautiful Loire Valley
We recently stayed two nights at this enchanting place. The host was friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the smaller of the two available options. 20-30 minutes by car away from either Blois or Amboise (and just a little bit further from Chenonceau). Parking at Les Douves was easy and within the moated grounds. Breakfast was served at our requested time on the lovely stone courtyard - basic French breakfast - breads, jams, honey, butter, OJ and coffee. The rooms were spacious, clean and absolutely gorgeous. They were filled with quirky art and sculptures nestled among beautiful old furniture and fixtures. The main bathroom (shower and tub) are up a small staircase (note for anyone who may have trouble climbing stairs). The tub was huge, perfect for soaking up all the surroundings. The windows opened up to stunning gardens - roses, lemons, sculpted trees with fantastic outdoor sculptures at every turn. And the Moat - could not get enough of the moat! I paddled around for quite a time, snapping photos, greeting the swan and ducks and just escaping into this magical place. At night, the gardens cast an entirely new spell with a star-filled sky as the backdrop. The cool night was warmed on the inside by a fire that was lit by the host for our comfort. A quick word about the town. We fell in love with this tiny village - we arrived on market day - a handful of cheese, meat, flower, vegetable and fruit stalls in the little town square - speaking a bit of French helped here - but everyone was very patient with my earnest attempts to communicate. Of course, there is a lovely old church. Shout out to the traditional dance and music group that was practicing at the community center. Again, we were welcomed in and enjoyed an hour of so of local entertainment - we thought it was a performance, but ended up being a practice. All the more enjoyable as we attempted to communicate and take it all in. The town is well positioned to take in the surrounding chateaux - don't miss Chaumont (which is 10 minutes away). None of the guidebooks particularly focus on this gem - the gardens were an absolute joy!

Family sleeping nightmare!
We arrived at this beautiful chateau and were warmly welcomed by the host. We were advised that there was a function happening that evening and local people were going to enjoy some live French music, dinner in the grounds and a film! A screen had been erected on the side of our family room ready for the evening and we were asked not to open the curtains on one side of the room! We were asked if he would like to attend however we declined as we cant speak French and the event wasn't really geared towards children. The film commenced quite late maybe 9.30ish and was incredibly loud!! There was no way anyone could sleep and the children were quite scared on the noise. The film was in French but consisted of mostly loud gun fire with no one ever seeming to win the battle and the film ending!! How the owner of the chateau thought it was a good idea to still let the room out especially to a young family with such an event was planned I do not know! The chateau was very beautiful but not suitable for families even on a non film night. I'm sure artists, people travelling without children would enjoy the setting ON A NON FILM NIGHT!
Excellent location
