Our first night in the Loire Valley, staying at the gorgeous 16th century Chateau du Plessis-Anjou, which has been owned by the same family for 300 years. Valerie was a wonderful charming hostess. Her home cooked meal was a delicious treat. Felt like I was stepping straight into Bridgerton with the antique crystal, silver, china, and after dinner coffee in the salon... the grounds and walled gardens were gorgeous even in September. Room was gorgeous, comfortable. and very clean. The country was quiet and peaceful.

Nothing- it was amazing

The castle atmosphere is a captivating blend of history, elegance, and enchantment, inviting you to explore its secrets and imagine the stories that have unfolded within its walls. Beautiful bouquet of fresh pink roses were placed in the bedroom. Breakfast isn’t just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures, designed to uplift our spirits as you embark on a new day.

I have not stopped recommending the Château since my visit. It was in and of itself beautiful, with charming, historic decor. But on top of the château, you get to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the region (with all the llamas, highland cows, goats, etc. near the property), and the lovely gardens maintained by the owners. Valerie and Laurent, thank you for a lovely weekend!

Gorgeous bed and breakfast, situated on a large estate in relaxing countryside, with very friendly owners. It was a perfect cultural experience, with rooms dripping with age and charm and yet updated with modern amenities like good electrical outlets and full-size en-suite bathrooms. They have a pool table, swimming pool, lots of trails, and tiny farm with dogs, chickens, and goats. Very gracious hosts, who were happy to whip out a bottle of wine and fresh salad for lunch, if asked (just note that food outside of breakfast is not cheap).

We were attending a wedding 20 minutes away, and location was perfect for that. Otherwise though this is a bit in the middle of nowhere. The village next door has only a single cafe in it, and bigger cities of Le Mans and Angers are each 30 minutes away.

The breakfast was excellent and plentiful; fruit, home made yogurt, fresh bread, home made conserves and plenty of coffee. The Chateau, its furnishings and the grounds are charming and the host very welcoming and helpful.

It was a shame that the Chateau was not able to offer dinner ( or lunch ) because the host’s wife was temporarily incapacitated, as we had chosen the hotel in order not to have to drive after dinner. However the host was very helpful in making reservations for us at restaurants a few kilometres away. The toiletries provided in the bathrooms were not up to the standard one might expect in this sort of hotel.

A really beautiful place to stay. Wonderful accommodation and charming hosts. They served dinner earlier than usual so that we could watch one of the World Cup Rugby matches which was being televised.

An authentic Château life. With magnificent gardens, atmosphere and a ... swimming pool. Contemporary comfort in a historical building with history, charm, beauty and modern equipment. The owners were very cordial and welcoming and tried to arrange all our requests. Very kind.

Without exaggeration one of the most wonderful places to stay. The castle and its grounds, the rooms, all so very wonderful. Valerie is the most fantastic host. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Don’t forget to sign up for the table d’hôte when you’re there. You will be treated with a delicious meal with vegetables and herbs from their own garden. We will forever cherish the memories of our stay at Chateau du Plessis Anjou

There’s absolutely nothing to dislike

Location excellent if you are at le lion d’Angers.

Charming retreat in beautiful French countryside. The house and gardens are exquisitely maintained + the dinner was exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay, it was a delightful taste of France.

Breakfast didn't quite live up to the standards of the prior nights dinner. However, that would not stop us visiting again
