Location, parking, restaurant, swimming pool and closeness to Fontevraud L’Abbaye. Also the buzzy square where you could sit and soak in the atmosphere. Very helpful and pleasant staff particularly the reception.
Located in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye in the Pays de la Loire region with Fontevraud Abbey nearby, La Marginale provides accommodation with free private parking.

Great place above the owners gallery. Its near the abbey , shops and restaurants with its own kitchen. My daughter loved the art supplies.

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.
Hotel with 14 rooms, including 2 family rooms for 6 people. The establishment was renovated in 2022. Free WiFi, free bike parking, and closed parking available.

The manager was great. He explained everything clearly. The breakfast was very good value for money.

A great room in a wonderful location. A marvellous restaurant. Great Breakfast in a charming room.

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.

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.
The family that run the hotel are charming and accommodating. I will book directly with the hotel when I stay again. The breakfast and the way it is run is excellent and the restaurant is spot on.
The food in the hotel was exceptional. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The location is fantastic, so quiet with the beautiful Abbey opposite the hotel.
