Château le Prieuré - La Maison Younan

酒店周邊風景不錯，酒店外形也很漂亮，可以拍很多漂亮的照片，恰好看到了漂亮的晚霞。 就是老城堡，樓梯狹小，搬行李轉圈有點吃力。 還有，提前電話預訂酒店晚餐，説是訂滿，結果是晚上餐廳都沒開過。

We read the great reviews and we enjoyed the many great pictures.....but this place is even better in person. We stayed in the Napoleon Suite, and it was truly over the top. The pictures can't adequately demonstrate how grand the room is. The view of the Loire, the grounds, the wine cellar....all beautiful. If you want to treat yourself to a very memorable Chateau experience, this would be a great choice. As an added bonus, we felt the room rate was very reasonable for such a unique experience

We did an overnight trip to Loire Valley and chose to stay in this chateau. We stayed in the Napoleon suite and wow!!! It was huge and beautiful. Extremely clean. We felt like a king and queen in this room. Unfortunately it was raining outside, but the view from the veranda was lovely and overlooked the Loire. The staff were friendly and welcoming. As it was off season, the chateau was very quiet with visitors which was nice. The grounds were lovely and the chateau itself is beautiful. We drove into Saumur which is fairly close by and has lots of shopping and restaurants. We also visited some wine caves that were close by to the chateau. We would love to stay here again if we visit Loire Valley.

The veiw from the bar and terrace will take your breath away. The food is exquisite. Extremely helpful staff. This was definitely a highlight of the France trip i had. Can go back again if i get a chance. People organise their proposals at this location so you can imagine how romantic the setting is.

We stayed here previously in 1988 and it had stayed in our memory as exceptional. The hotel is still beautiful with exceptional views but is in need of some attention. The receptionist was very welcoming and the room was beautifully cool on a hot day. The bedding was first class and the bathroom was clean and well provided. We had fa ntastic views of the Loire. Wifi did not work well in the bedroom however. The bar with views on the Loire was welcoming as were the amuses bouches provided. Pre starters and additional desserts also excellent. We wondered how they could continue to provide the service given the numbers staying. The two members of staff serving in t he restaurant were attentive and very professional. The main course was disappointing but the rest of the meal was excellent as was the service. Breakfast was good with constant top ups. All in all it was not at the same standard as 40 years ago, when it was amazing, but still well worth re visiting and would happily stay again.

An important criterion in selecting hotels for my vacation itineraries is the hotel's having an excellent restaurant. Castellane, the "Gastronomic French Restaurant" at Chateau Le Prieure, certainly satisfied that criterion. This allows me to enjoy an evening without having to worry about driving again. After verifying on the website that the restaurant would be open (such "gourmet" restaurants are often closed two nights a week to give the staff a break), I booked a nonrefundable stay and requested dinner. The hotel confirmed my room reservation but told me that the restaurant was not available. I decided that I would take advantage of room service and would not request a cancellation. It turned out that Castellane was not even open. Upon leaving the hotel, I heard another guest complain to the front desk that the restaurant had been closed the evening before and was not going to be open that evening as well - a most justified complaint. And room service? The poorly staffed hotel could provide us only with a charcuterie plate or a fromage plate because the kitchen was closed. So, we sallied forth into Saumur, where I have to say that we had a surprisingly excellent dinner at L'Instinct. The hotel is understaffed. The hotel is desperately in need of some tender loving care such as repair of a window with a hole in it and remediation of the sinking floor with cracked wood that you would not want to step on with bare feet. However, WiFi access is good. The staff is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are capacious and clean (although the shower had pink mildew). The bedding is most comfortable. The lounge area with its view of the Loire is spectacular as was the morning view of the river from our room.

We just returned from a stay. The staff was welcoming and very attentive, even though I could tell they seemed shorthanded ( as many others in the hospitality industry are these days ), but they always remained professional and kind. The chateau has been fully renovated, so I give La Maison Younan a big high five for making this heritage site available to enjoy. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed with the 1ere Empire décor; until I decided to take it as a " themed"décoration based on Napoleon 1ére ... If it could've toned down a little bit, it would be ideal but in any case, it does make you inquire about French history :-) I highly recommend taking the aperitif on the terrace, with a panoramic view of the Loire River. We had dinner and chose the " Au fil de nos région " menu, along with the accord des vins, Bravo au chef Prouteau pour nous faire gouter less delicieux plats! The breakfast buffet was also very good, with local products ( juices, coffee, croissants and the mushroom and carrots with the scrambled eggs do make a difference! Cheese lovers, be aware you will love their seasonal cheese selection!

The biggest disappointment, especially considering this was our honeymoon, which the hotel team ruined for us with their incompetence, lack of professionalism and boorish attitude! Our booking was fully paid in advance, we were driving straight after the wedding from Paris, and arrived at 5 am, and the first unpleasant surprise was an unwelcoming welcome and we were confronted with the fact that we had to give our bank card for a deposit (although this is not indicated in conditions on the booking com platform, and we also corresponded with the hotel all week and no one said about the deposit!) The next surprise awaited us in the room, according to correspondence in honor of the wedding, we were promised to decorate the bed with rose petals, and give bath accessories and slippers, for us it was funny after hundreds of trips around Europe at least, and when we saw these 15 petals we thought it was a joke, but on our wedding night it was inappropriate! We had a table booked in a restaurant, for which we allocated an hour, in total it turned out to be all 3 hours. Slowly, not professionally, when we were indignant, the waitress and the hotel attendant allowed themselves to be rude to us! We have never met such disrespect, and given that this is our honeymoon! We ordered a fruit basket that was not delivered to the room for our arrival, and given that this is our honeymoon and we chose this particular hotel for this, elementary fruits could have been a compliment! After numerous clarifications and frayed nerves, they brought us a huge basket of fruit, and we were very pleased. We paid for 3 breakfasts, but as a result there were only 1 time, very very meager, not even the usual emmental, no salt and pepper, and only ham and jamon from meat, and thinly sliced ​​cucumber and incomprehensible carrots from vegetables ... For a chic breakfast, not count! We bought two bottles of local cremant, probably the only thing we can truly recommend! As well as great style and decor and a view of the Loire! The cleanliness of the room is 3 out of 5. And how can you settle in a room in which the bedside lamp is broken and hanging from a wire above your head. Last night we were the only ones in the whole hotel. Check-out at the hotel until 11, and we overslept a little and asked to leave at 12:00, they refused us, saying that their seminar and rooms were occupied. And having opened the booking com for today, it is available for today (departure day) in general, the entire hotel is free! 20 rooms available for booking today! And they said that that we could not make later check in…. Very very unprofessional and no respect and kindness to their guests! We will not come back NEVER !!!

To stay in a chateau in this region was great and the location on the Loire river is stunning. The bar and restaurant were lovely rooms overlooking the river. All ornately decorated which made it all the better. We had the Napoleon Suite which was amazing, felt like French royalty. This has a terrace outside of the room so you could sit & enjoy the view. The restaurant was shut for dinner however they recommended a restaurant a 10 minute walk away & that was good, overlooking the river. We had breakfast on the terrace in the morning which was lovely. Shout out to Nathalie the receptionist who helped us with our booking & checked us in. Very helpful & friendly. Would certainly recommend this place.
