We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Château de Pray, a peaceful and charming 800-year-old manor house just on the outskirts of Amboise, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The property beautifully maintains the character and authentic furnishings of the original manor while offering modern comforts. The grounds are lovely, with terraced gardens that lead down to a secluded swimming pool—we didn’t have time to enjoy it, but it looked like a perfect spot to relax. Our breakfast was full and delicious, served in a beautiful dining room with views over the gardens. Although we didn’t have the opportunity to dine at the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant, it’s a wonderful option for guests looking for a gourmet experience. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, even going out of their way to initiate the return of an iPad I had accidentally left behind. Château de Pray offers a welcome retreat from the bustle of nearby Amboise while still being just a short drive away. A lovely and tranquil place to stay in the Loire Valley.
