The setting is quite spectacular and the hotel rooms are stylish if a little small. Unfortunately, my husband accidentally, kicked his glasses under the bed and when we tried to retrieve them saw that cleaning under the bed is not a priority. A lot of dust etc. Otherwise the room was spotless. I had also emailed the hotel a few days before asking if we could eat in the restaurant. They only told me on arrival that it was fully booked until October. It would have been helpful to have known in advance. We took the option of a ‘picnic hamper’ which was disappointing to say the least. The breakfast was slightly underwhelming. A nice selection of items from local producers but luke warm coffee out of a thermos jug is not what I would expect from a hotel of this standard. I think they could serve a pot of coffee or tea at the table without too much trouble. The reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful I must say.

Beautiful place to stay. Wonderful surroundings of old monasteries, great amenities lots of interesting things to see. Great local food, very friendly staff, magical atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.

What is not to like, eating a wonderful breakfast around a cloister after a quiet night in this Abby of great French & English historical significance, with dove and large bells easing you into your morning.

Amazing to have access to the abbey after all the visitors had gone home.

My husband and I stayed at Fontevraud Abbey for a night and it was honestly the highlight of our France trip. There is a light show next week and they were practicing which was great that we got a free preview of it! Plus we hadn't realised we get to view the abbey until midnight and the next day as included in the price of our hotel stay. The bar and food service was also great. The only thing I would say is that we weren't notified that the bar closed at 10 and we did manage to thankfully get 1 drink from the front desk staff at 10.30-ish but I know several people did not know about this closing time. But overall would absolutely recommend staying at this hotel!

Exceptional surroundings arrived late and was greeted with a smile and a motorised cart to collect me and my luggage from my motorcycle. Fabulous after a long wet day riding in the rain!

This is my second stay at the hotel. I had a wonderful experience previously and wanted to begin with that. After my recent business trip, I was disappointed. Our rooms had no functioning hot water in our rooms (Jardin) room the morning of our departure. This was unfortunate because I was hoping to walk the grounds before we left for our meeting. Instead, we lingered hoping to shower, and eventually left unshowered and instead had a mediocre breakfast. Overall, a major letdown. All of that considered I will try again but next time, stay in the main building. The jardin rooms are small and one of my group complained of this.

The whole atmosphere of the hotel is so calm and restorative. The setting, in the ancien abbey, is simply lovely. Our room was delightful. Breakfast was splendid. The staff were helpful and friendly, with the service over all, of the highest quality. It is essential to book dinner in the restaunt as soon as you can, as there are not many covers, so were not able to eat there.

Amazing place. History and modern art are omnipresent.

Best night sleep in many years for both myself and my partner! The garden room was super comfortable and clean. The place itself ia gorgeous and so calming. The receptionist was great! Only one thing to faulter, we didn't have breakfast as we thought it was way overpriced and that was the only downside really.

A lovely modern clean hotel

Incredible place, and perfect service!

I love Fontevraud. This is a special place - between the history of the abbey, the amazing restaurant, the comfortable and clean rooms, the dedication to eco-friendliness, and on and on. Our only complaint, and this might sound very American, is the lack of climate control. On a very stuffy, hot afternoon, our west-facing, top-floor room was HOT. We opened windows but were immediately faced with clouds of gnats and insects that swarmed our room. We asked for a fan, which the front desk clerk said he would bring up. He called back 10 minutes later to say "no fans because of the Covid situation". ?????? No fans in our own room because of Covid??? Ummmmmmm, Ok.... Their dedication to providing an eco-friendly spot is commendable, but a winter-weight duvet on the bed, no fans, no ventilation, no fan, crazy insects means no sleep, and no sleep means not a good visit. This was our second visit to Fontevraud, and we will definitely be back - just not in summer, and we will definitely request to NOT be on the top floor where the rooms bake in the sunlight.
