La Pomélie

Wonderful place with magnificent hosts ... great home made breakfast items ..very attentive. Super comfy beds ... wish we stYed longer! Perfect base to visit the local chalets and wineries

We enjoyed a wonderful 4 night stay at La Pomelie as we toured Loire Valley chateaux in late September. The location is ideal - centrally located among the most visited of the chateaux, but loaded with French countryside charm. Rather than staying at an impersonal hotel, we wanted the experience of staying with a local host, dining on home-cooked food, and enjoying the quiet and peace away from a busy city. This stay provided all of that perfectly. Valerie and Phillipe are gracious hosts and provided for our every need during our stay. Valerie is a talented cook. Her baked goods were better than we found in many commercial boulangeries. Breakfasts were very French and very delicious. The gourmet meal on Sunday evening was exquisite. Valerie's recommendations for dining in town were spot on as well. While I have previously lived in France and understand the language very well, my wife is not a French speaker yet still felt comfortable and was able to communicate adequately with our hosts. The room was well furnished, pleasantly decorated, and cozy. With three guest rooms separated from the main house, there is privacy, but also the opportunity to greet and interact with a small number of other travelers in common areas and over shared meals. I highly recommend La Pomelie and will keep pleasant memories from our time there.
