The host was superb, friendly efficient greeting. The place is so central. It was really good to be have communal tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was well presented and as I was travelling further south it was super to be able to get up, eat and be on my way.

Lovely decoration, a lot of thought has gone into the renovation. Lovely bathroom. Hosts very kindly came to the property as I had lost my phone and they had not had a response to their checking in messages.

We received a friendly welcome and locked area was provided for our bikes. There was a lot of hot water and the bathroom was a good size. The bed was comfortable. The supper was delicious and the breakfast was fresh.

The Abbaye is impressive and fascinating to explore (allow a full day) but if the Modern Art Museum is closed ( as it was during our stay) there isn't a great deal more to see in the town.
Saumur (20 minutes away) is a good place to go (we found a vast array of restaurants including a truly outstanding Lebanese and a fusion French/Colombian) and the Domaines for wine ( we visited Gratien & Meyer) are superb and you get to visit the vast tunnels under the cliffs and also taste (and buy probably!)

Magical place with lots to do.
Magical place with lots to do. Enjoyed the art museum and wandered around the grounds. Didn't know that there were beautiful places to eat and drink until we were walking around the grounds - wasn't flagged up and needs to be.
Absolutely loved the buildings but a lot to do in one visit. Could have taken a couple of days to see everything and enjoy the gardens.

Staff is wonderful, rooms adequate but beds in serious need of replacement. The TV in the room had English channels which was great and the location could not be better but the food via room service was appallingly bad.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location.
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Not a fan of the expensive breakfast that was ‘style over substance’ and couldn’t get WiFi to work. Overall pluses were so strong would recommend.
Free access to the historic, beautiful Abbey complex absolutely made our stay, especially the sound and light show at night.

I went to the new Art Exhibition and had to leave after seeing that. It was incredible and I wish I had been able to take more time.
I have visited the Abbey several times previously and love the place.

Fontevraud-l'Abbaye is a fantastic attraction that has been carefully restored over the last thirty or more years. It was famously used as prison for a period. The prisoners complained to the state that it was a tragic use of such an important monument.
This is where Henri II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart and Isabel of Angouleme chose to be buried. Sensational.
The Michelin starred restaurant on site is also remarkable and an amazing setting.

Very large and comfortable room, cool even after some hot days. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic, with lots of local ingredients. Wonderful to have the swimming pool when it was so warm. Nice touches like being able to serve yourself tea and coffee until late in the afternoon. Unusual rustic buildings, more like a farmyard layout than anything, but including a soap shop and museum to make it even more interesting! Some rooms open on to the kitchen garden. Plenty of space even when the hotel was full.
This place was quirky! The room was one over a restaurant, which was, unfortunately, closed. The bathroom, complete with large bath, was actually bigger than the bedroom, but that didn't really matter. It was strange, but certainly not a traditional hotel room as we imagine them to be - a box with a bathroom in the corner. The breakfast was a DIY affair, but was fine nonetheless. The owner was charming and the location in this sweet little village was perfect.
This is an exceptional hotel - we stayed for a significant family birthday and they could not have made it more perfect. Beautiful rooms with period features, generous bathrooms, super-comfy beds. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the staff were generous, kind and helpful. The hotel location is great, right beside the Abbey and within easy walking distance of all the village has to offer. We will be back.
This quaint small house was a great home base for our exploration of the Loire Valley. It is centrally located in the lovely village of Fontevraud l'Abbaye, just a short walk from the World Heritage Site. We enjoyed the classic feel of the town, the weekly Wednesday market, as well as the gorgeous woods nearby. With a rental car, there is easy access to many wineries and chateaux nearby.
fantastic place, we received an absolute 5 star experience from this hotel. the staff greeted us in the car park and brought our luggages to the hotel reception. we could visit the abbey at night and then have a warm cup of tea or coffee in the lobby. everything was absolutely magical and definitely an experience unlike anything else. would highly recommend staying at the hotel.
We spent 2 nights at La Croix Blanche. It is in the centre of a charming and small village. There is ample parking at the rear of the hotel. As it is an old property there are no lifts to the bedrooms.
We stayed in the family room - spacious and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was very good and we had an enjoyable dinner in the hotel with very good service.
The rooms were clean, with comfortable bedding and proper amenities (eg towel, shower gel, tv). There was a private carpark onsite as well, and the hotel provides free shuttle service to transport our luggage from the carpark to the hotel lobby. The establishment definitely preserved its deep history, where we got to explore the compound and its museum.
From the service, to the rooms to the absolutely exquisitely designed restorations and modernizations this is one of the most memorable properties I have ever stayed in. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Loire valley. The hotel is a piece of art and amazing value for money. You will not regret staying here.
Amazing place. Food phenomenal. Note though that restaurant reservations need to be made weeks or months ahead. They had a great picnic basket dinner option when reservations are full. Breakfast was amazingly good. The option to walk around the monestary at night and early am without tourists made all the difference.
Attractive location on the “place” in the centre of the village and right by the entrance to the abbey. Proprietors are personally involved in managing the hotel and restaurant. High class and stylish breakfast room and restaurant. Breakfast and dinner both of high quality.
Charming and engaging host; beautifully appointed room in a delightful village. Nothing was too much trouble, breakfast was delicious and recommendations for dinner and evening viewing of son et lumiere at the Abbaye made for a memorable stay.
What a location - right in the middle of the medieval town - two steps from the entrance to l'Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud.
Lovely courtyard restaurant - tasty great value meal.
The best breakfast we've ever had in a three-star hotel.
breath takingly beautiful hotel, situated in the peaceful and secluded monastery abbaye de fontevraude.
nice and comfortable rooms. very nice staff.
the restaurant serves superb high quality food as well
The restaurant on the property was lovely and the hotel breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The pool and whirlpool were a treat and the soap boutique was fun to shop in.
Gorgeous, shabby chic style hotel - authentic,
French experience in a beautiful old building.
Soap shop is an added bonus, lots of beautiful
goodies that make great gifts.
A great hotel, room was extremely large and comfortable with a great shower, the swimming pool and hot tub were great in an old barn which was very atmospheric and warm
