Domaine des Bidaudieres

Great hospitality, marvelous setting and incredible swimming pool. The grandeur of the building and grounds adds to the experience. Breakfast just right and we slept very well. Mme was a lovely host and we look forward to coming again. It’s well positioned for visits to nearby Chenonceau and Amboise.

It was very peaceful and quiet and a lovely setting, overlooking the Loire Valley. The room was spacious and clean. A couple of lamps were broken.

Our family including two teens absolutely loved this property even though the wifi didn’t quite extend to our room (if you have teens you know that says a lot!). Beautiful grounds, charming building with common sitting area complete with pool table (and wifi), and a sunroom for optional light continental breakfast if desired (10€ each). We loved the outdoor pool, great scenery and location in the countryside convenient for visiting chateaus and trying local wines. Friendly owners/staff and locals, plenty of free parking on site. Highly recommend staying here. We were in La Rocheliere apartment which is dug into the hillside. The apartment is charming and spacious with a fireplace, large washroom, two rooms with three beds, one master and one double/twin seating/kitchen combined. There is a small fridge and kitchen sink/cooking nook with hot plate, microwave and I think toaster oven (we didn’t cook). There is also a private patio outside this room with an eating and lounging area. When we didn’t eat out in town we bought wine and pre-made food from the local grocery store in Vouvray and enjoyed on the patio. The only unfortunate thing was that the mattress in the master bedroom was saggy and uncomfortable but the twin and double mattress in the other room were decent. Pillows were also strangely square and flat. Such a magical place it’s a shame to not have a comfortable sleep, an upgrade to the mattress and pillows would make this place our favourite in France and Italy.
