Luxurious accommodations in Amboise
The Hotel Le Manoir les Minimes is a beautiful accommodation located in the town of Amboise. It lies along the Loire River with stunning views of the chateau above. Inside you will find many objects of art and antiques in a very tranquil setting.
The rooms (ours was room 12) are very bright and cheery and tastefully decorated. Our room was large, with a big comfortable bed, separate seating area, and a good sized bathroom with two sinks and a shower in tub. They provide nice Mugler toiletries.
The staff is another highlight of the property. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had fun with them as we used our "best" french to communicate. In addition, they helped with dinner recommendations and reservations, plus helped with other tour confirmations. We really appreciated their help.
We would definitely recommend the hotel to everyone visiting Amboise.
Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

MANOIR LES MINIMES
Our room in the pavilion. It was very spacious and beautiful decorated.
Unique Quality: When we came in at night, the curtains were closed, night lamps on and the bed was spread open, what a service!

MANOIR LES MINIMES
Our accommodation in Amboise was a beautiful authentic 18th century manor house built on the foundations of the ancient medieval Monastere des Minimes and situated near the old town.

My husband and I spent 3 wonderful days and nights at le Manoir les Minimes from July 25-28, 2004. We had a deluxe room on the 2nd floor overlooking the river and Chateau. The rooms were very comfortable and Patrice and his staff thought of every amenity--from the candle and holder, the bathroom amenities and the weather forcast for the following day on our pillow each night. Breakfast was beautifully presented with silver coffee and tea service, delicious breads and croissants, juice, jams and the best coffee we had in all of our 17 days in France. The grounds were lovely and we enjoyed cocktails outdoors in the late afternoon while perusing menus for our dinner choice in the evening. The staff's restaurant recommendations were honestly given and we were very pleased with each choice. Their hospitality & sincerity made our stay truly memorable. It was a plus to be able to securely park on the grounds and walk to virtually everything in the chateau part of the city. We also found the price to be an excellent value considering the terrible exchange rate of dollars to euros. Manoir les Minimes is the only hotel of our 3 week vacation that my husband says he would like to return to. I expect that we will return one day.
My favorite hotel in France
by TripAdvisor Member cmcfong
We arrived at the hotel on September 12,2004. We entered the foyer and saw a beautiful display of white lilies, whose scent filled the room. The two common rooms were beautifully and comfortably furnished. We were promptly checked in and shown to our room (11). The room was gorgeous. The windows faced the Chateau and the Loire providing a postcard view. The front of the hotel has a lovely garden accented by an attractive fountain. Our room was furnished with care and attention to detail. The amenities provided were very elegant and tasteful. The linens were extremely nice and the bed very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was courteous and professional. The receptionist handled dinner reservations, made travel suggestions and treated us with great warmth and kindness. This is a marvelous hotel with an outstanding staff. It is an elegant resort and definitely a perfect spot to celebrate a special event. Breakfast is served in a charming yellow room. It was a basket of bread accompanied by excellent jams, a small container of yogurt, cornflakes, a small fruit bowl and very good coffee. I would highly recommend this hotel. The owners have definitely mastered the finer details of hospitality.
Beautiful!!

Wow was this an amazing hotel. We stayed on the top floor of the manor and had a beautiful view of the chauteau and the river. The room was incredible with exposed beams, silk wall coverings, the most comfortable king sized bed ever, humungous bathroom with separate toilet all spotlessly clean. It was a treat to stay here after a few hectic weeks and budget hotels in london and paris. The whole place is beautiful and the town is charming. Rent bikes!! That was our favorite activity...but go and stay in this hotel and you will truely feel pampered!
Amboise: Not to be missed
by A TripAdvisor Member
After an easy and convenient journey by train from Charles de Gaulle to Amboise we were delighted at our reception at the Manoir. It is obvious from the exterior that the owners take great pride in their establishment. The rooms are elegant and tasteful with spectacular views of the chateau. The service is professional and intimate. You feel like one of the family from the very beginning. Amboise is the most charming town in the Loire Valley. Accessibility to Chenonceau is most convenient and in the town there are many things to do. Places not to be missed: Bigot, the best chocolate pastries and tea. Be sure to acknowledge Julia Bigot, you will know her by sight. Make sure to tour Parc Leonardo da Vinci and by all means visit the most under rated attraction Parc Mini Chateau, where you will be pleasantly surprised at the detail and the overview of the Loire Valley. Exploring Amboise is probably one of the most enjoyable experiences we have ever had and I'm sure you will feel the same.
