Welcoming ivy-covered hideaway with a cooking school. Do it – if only for the excuse to casually mention later how you 'learned to cook in France.'

We can’t resist a stroll in the nearby Jardin de la Préfecture.

Stately ex-castle now an intimate and secluded boutique hotel surrounded by stunning gardens.

Tranquil countryside setting just 100 metres from the famous(!) Villandry(!) Castle(!).

Renovated 15th-century home seamlessly blends timeless style with modern perks like free WiFi.

Onsite spa (boasting a killer indoor pool, hammam, whirlpool & sauna) has your name all over it (aka buh-bye, travel stress).

Rooms are classically charming with everyone’s favorite modern amenity – free WiFi.

Modern stay conveniently situated 10 mins from both the airport and the city centre.

The Tours Train Station is an easy 5-min walk – maybe a little longer for chronic over-packers.

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

Built around a lovely 18th-century manor, this boutique hotel is a quiet respite in the country.

Cosy rooms perfectly balance a historic building with the mod cons every traveler needs.
