Wonderful chateau ambience and lovely host make you feel like you're invited to spend the weekend at the Downton Abbey. Breakfast was plentiful.

Gorgeous Chateau in a beautiful, bucolic location. Loved the surrounding property, especially the pool (one of the reasons we chose this place.) Because the chateau is so old, there could be more upkeep/maintenance. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Amazing host!
Extremely welcoming and friendly host that goes above and beyond to provide the best experience. Upon our arrival, given the availability she upgraded us to a more spacious room with view on the garden. When we asked if she had alternative milk she even made a trip to the grocery store nearby to get us some soy milk for breakfast. The chateau is part of collection chain of individually owned chateaux and restaurants. Definitely recommend it!

Lovely chateau close to Tours and Loire Valley
This is a beautiful, lovely chateau with gorgeous wooded setting and views. The original family runs the chateau and lends an intimate feel to the stay. Rooms are ample size with large wardrobes, bathrooms remodeled and spacious, and many rooms have marble fireplaces and canopied, comfortable beds. Petit dejeuner is very generous with eggs, fruit, croissants and fresh espresso coffee. Lovely china and table settings in a stately dining room. No air conditioning, but evenings are comfortable and windows adequately cool at night. No dinners anymore, but nearby Tours offers many options.

Un beau château dans la Loire
Madame de Lussac was the best hostess one could ask for... After the gps in our Renault sent us to the wrong location (should have followed Google Maps), she waited up for us and gave us directions to arrive. The room was clean and had a beautiful view of the valley. No a/c was needed as we could open the windows and had fresh air with no bugs! The wifi was strong and had no connection issues. The continental breakfast was delicious and had the best croissants we have tried to date. She even made my daughter special hot chocolate! Madame de Lussac also had great recommendations for dining and where to find great local vineyards! Unfortunately we did not have enough time to enjoy the outdoor heated pool, but it looked very nice. If you are looking for a modern hotel with Ikea furiture, this is not the place. If you want to stay in a HOME with history and soul, this is a great location. We are in Paris now, but miss the chateau and the life lived there. Our hope is to return and spend more time in the Loire. Merci beaucoup!!!

We had the loveliest experience at Chateau de l'Aubriere. The chateau itself is so lovely and was one of the highlights of our trip. The grounds were also magnificent and we were greeted in the morning but deer grazing in the grass. The best part of our experience was the hostess and I apologize for having forgotten her name. She was so charming and accommodating, upgrading our room for us when she realized she had a vacancy. Her restaurant recommendation, La Mere Hamard, also proved to be the best meal of our entire three week trip. Only complaint is that we didn't stay more days!

An authentic Château experience in a peaceful setting! Comtesse du Lussac looked after us beautifully during our 4 night’s stay. She advised us on the best castles to visit depending on the weather & made dinner reservations for us each night. Her English was excellent so you will have no worries. Our room was extremely spacious & the decor was perfect for the age of the castle. The picturesque village location was well situated to visit castles to the north and south. The city of Tours was less than 10 kilometres away. If you would like to experience authentic French culture from the Loire Region, this is a great option.

Picturesque and Comfortable
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this delightful chateau. For an old building it has been maintained in good condition. The grounds are picturesque and the room, with a jacuzzi bath, was comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and the above and beyond service given to me, as a female travelling on my own with only rudimentary French was so nice to receive.

Perfect for a romantic stay in the Loire valley. Very friendly owner, beautiful grounds (even a swimming pool), nice location a short drive from many sights. Rooms furnished just as a chateau should be. I loved it

Refined tranquility
The stay in the chateau was fantastic. The room was large and comfortable and well appointed. The Countess (owner) was a very gracious hostess and was very helpful with information about the local area and tourist sights. With 16 acres of park like grounds to ensure tranquility, the stay was pleasant and restful.

We didn't actually get to stay but. . .
We arrived at the Chateau during a rally race where all the streets were blocked. We walked up to the chateau only to find out the owner had emailed Expedia 2 weeks prior to let them know the Chateau would be closed for the race and we wouldn't be staying there that night. The owner was extremely kind of very helpful in finding us a new chateau to stay in and made all the necessary calls and arrangements; we were very sad not to be staying at L'Aubriere but highly recommend from the very helpful staff.

The real Manderley
Beautiful chateau in a spacious garden. The decoration is excellent. Feels like you are staying in a palace. The hostess was a very social, kind lady (we loved her peacock). Too bad we didn't know about the candle light dinner which had to be ordered two days in advance. Highly recommended.

Lovely old building and grounds food disappointing
Worth staying here for the interesting building and extensive parkland.The owner is very welcoming and I think something of a local character who also does the cooking.After a promise of foi gras as a starter we were very disappointed to see on our plates a small Kilner jar of warm shredded vegetables hidden within was a teaspoonfull of what I think was duck liver together with some small pieces of I think scallops.The main course of roast duck breast was o.k. but hardly sophisticated French cooking.The desert of tart tartin with ice cream and some small pieces of fruit irritatingly served on a roof slate was again o.k. but the meal did not justify the cost of 40Euro plus 10 Euro per person for 2 glasses of local wine.We would certainly not eat here again

Nice chateau.
Chateau was very quite. It is away for the main city of Tours. The owener is a very sweet lady she catered to our every needs. As well she is the chef. And boy can this lady cook well. The pool was a great plus and free parking. She is in a good spot to visit all the near by castles. This region has 72 castles to see. Would recoment to stay here.

Great!
My experience at the Chateau de l"Aubriere was marred only by the fact that it was not long enough. The countess met us with friendliness and courtesy, make a wonderful recommendation for dinner, and couldn't have been more cordial. The chateau is lovely, though a bit difficult to find. Take a GPS. But we loved the places off-the-beaten track best. A delightful stay and a special experience for my grandson, for whom it was his first time in France.

Perfect family hotel, or just as a short stay note
The hotel is a beautiful Chateau with a charming atmosphere. The Comtesse treats all guests as if it was their home for the duration of their stay, with the added enjoyment of the optional 'surprise' supper, personally prepared and served with flair. a most enjoyable stop-over on our way through France, thoroughly recommended!

Malgrés un bon accueil ,dommage qu'un si charmant château soit ausi mal entretenu. Chambre poussiéreuse et sentant le renfermé. Petit déjeuner très moyen ( manque de fraicheur des produits notamment charcuterie et fruits). En conclusion ,lieu charmant à rénover impérativement.
