it’s uniqueness

Breakfast was fantastic! Elisa provided a beautiful variety of things for breakfast and cooked our eggs to order each morning! She helped us with dinner reservations nearby and in Tours. She helped us with our luggage upon arrival and departure. Also, the parking was great and I liked the security of the gated property. The hike up the hillside to the vineyards was a fun and beautiful adventure! The mystique of the old limestone caves where we had our room and had breakfast added to the experience. We felt the history of the place, but the accomodations felt clean & comfortable.

Nothing...it was just perfect. Nice escape from the generic hotel experience.

I stayed here with my wife and daughter. We had a very friendly greeting by Elisa and we were offered local sparkling wine. The place is amazing, the large county French house (like a small chateau) which is divided into more historic section (dating back to 18th century) and the newer section. Our rooms were in the newer section. When you walk up the steps there is a winery up above the residence. Rooms were large and comfortable with large bathroom (which us Americans enjoy). When we arrived it was around 8:30 pm and did not know any local restaurants. Elisa to the rescue, she recommended a local French restaurant and made all the reservations. Wonderful dinner and atmosphere. We woke up in the morning to chirping birds and smell of fresh countryside. The breakfast room is the historic section of the house and Elisa greeted us there with a very nice breakfast table. She made us our custom scrambled eggs in addition to all the traditional French breakfast offerings. After we spend the day exploring nearby local Loire Valley towns (Amboise, Bloir, Tours, etc) along with Chateau Chananceau, we came back before dinner. We were again greeted this time with Elisa and Matthew with local wine. We went to local recommended French restaurant and left in the morning after breakfast. If you want to have French countryside experience in proximity to attractions (Chateaus, local towns) then this is the place. Elisa and Matthew are very nice hosts.

Nothing really comes to my mind.

This place was amazing. 1. The hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming. At times. We sat and talked for minutes or hours. They helped us get great reservations at local places with amazing service and food. They provided a traditional French breakfast and went out of their way to serve anything we asked. 2. The housing was so cool. This very historic place is very different to a chain hotel and was awesome to stay at. It was a really neat experience. 3. The location was awesome! It was quiet and relaxing yet close to any of the local attractions like chambord, chenenceau, or tours.

I can't say anything bad about the hosts or location. Mother nature threatened us but obviously that is not controllable.

Very welcoming host in a special setting. Comfortablead spacious room and the common spaces for breakfast and relaxing are very cosy.

We liked everything.

Bread from a good boulangerie; good home-made jams. Hosts very helpful. Good parking. Liked the aesthetics of the property. Would definitely revisit.

Elisa, the host was outstanding assisting in dinner reservations, suggestions for touring ....this is a great place...just wish was there in the summer to enjoy the pool.

Hosts were excellent, location stellar and property exceptional

Not a thing

Very beautiful house and garden, friendly hosts, tasty breakfast

Mathieu was the perfect host for our stay. The breakfast was exceptional with so much to pick from: local cheeses, breads, pastries, yogurt and meat. Our room was very unique with a "cave-like" feel within the chateau. It was warm and comfy, with the added bonus of having heated floors. Mathieu got back to us promptly when we had any questions, and was a friendly, welcoming host!

We loved everything about this place... magnificent!! Owners are really helpful too in everything we needed!!! They treat you as a family. I never rated a place and hospitality a 10 out of 10 but this is an exception!!! Well done Elisa and Mathieu!!!

Our group of 10 absolutely loved our stay at Le Gaimont in Vouvray. Mathieu and his family are so warm and welcoming. The entire grounds and house are so beautiful. Their attention to detail, amazing. Breakfast was delicious. You will absolutely love your stay!!

Exceptionally friendly care taken by the hosts at this beautiful and well appointed chateaux. A true highlight on our trip and we would definitely recommend taking one of the unique cave rooms nestled in what feels like a secret garden with a gate into vineyards.

beautifully decorated, very peaceful.

Staying in Troglodyte King-Suite was one of the most interesting experiences we had during our travels. Apartment build inside a cave, with beautiful finish, small kitchen, shower and bathtub, and really big and comfortable bed - what more to wish? Beautiful garden? Sure. Delicious breakfast served in family atmosphere? Of course. Swimming pool? Why not. Every detail of this place is great, hosts are really friendly and we only regretted that we booked the stay for 1 night only.

Unique and welcoming

That I don’t live there

Very romantic, nice pool, nice garden and seating areas

The breakfast selection could be better, difficult to find good options to eat dinner in the area

Owners are amazibg, very Friendly and always on top of us to make sure we had everything we need. Garden and pool are great. Nice place to go with kids

We did not have any complain about this place

beautiful and interesting old building and nice pool. very quiet

nothing

Le Gaimont was the highlight of our stays our on trip through France. Eliza herself was as charming as her property - very solicitous and accommodating, showed us our rooms and even booked us at a really great restaurant in Amboise. The breakfast was perfect - from the food to the company to the setting. We'd come back to Vouvray again just to get to stay at Le Gaimont.

We just wish we had had more time to enjoy the property.

Lovely experience in a very special setting.

We had a wonderful stay! The property is very beautiful as whole, but our 2 rooms were really exceptional, tucked in a stone wall above the main building. They had all the modern amenities yet a very “troglodyte” feel. the pool was a big plus considering the heat wave…The breakfast was excellent. Most of all, the owners were very very nice and friendly. We were very happy with the stay and would highly recommend!

Everything was great
