Le Prieure d'Orchaise

We stayed three nights, which we very much enjoyed. Our room looked out over the gardens, though we couldn’t really fully enjoy the view or listen to the birdsong because of the intense heat- 30/40c one day. The ac worked well and our room was cool. The gardens are beautiful and our host and his cousin were very welcoming and joined us for breakfast each day, and told us of the history of the Prieure , the church and gardens, and of the local area. This is an excellent spot from which to visit Blois and Chaumont. Five stars. David and Wilma

We had an incredible stay, thanks in large part to our outstanding hosts, Antoine and François, who made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and truly one of a kind. We were very comfortable in our large, air-conditioned room, which was perfect for our family of four. To top it all off, the breakfasts were amazing specially Marie’s delightful panna cotta!

We had a wonderful stay at the priory - a beautiful old mansion with lovely gardens, comfortable rooms and a delicious breakfast of homemade goodies. We visiting in April when the garden was in bloom and we could enjoy a glass of wine outside in the late afternoon. So delightful. Our room was particularly spacious and overlooked the gardens, as well as the old church in this small town. Antoine is a wonderful host and owner of the property who goes out of his way to make your stay special. We has great stories to share and excellent recommendations for exploring the area. I only wish we had spent more than 2 nights in this charming b&b. Of note, we were just 15 mins from Blois, 30 mins from Amboise, and it was a perfect spot for exploring the gorgeous chateaus of the Loire Valley. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10

Our stay at this beautifully restored historic inn was one of the highlights of our trip to France. Antoine Treuille has done an extraordinary job renovating this magnificent property, preserving its historic charm while creating a luxurious and welcoming place to stay. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking and worth visiting in their own right. What truly made our experience unforgettable, however, was François. He went above and beyond every day to ensure our stay was exceptional. He provided thoughtful recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to enjoy, joined guests for breakfast and afternoon wine, and created such a warm, personal atmosphere that we felt more like friends than visitors. Breakfast each morning was outstanding. Eggs were cooked to order, accompanied by an abundant selection of local cheeses, artisan breads, cured meats, homemade jams, fresh fruit, and delicious local pastries. Even honey from their own garden! It was the perfect way to start each day. The afternoon wine gatherings in the gardens were equally memorable. Sitting at the outdoor tables with other guests, sharing local wines, cheeses, and regional specialties while exchanging travel stories and recommendations, created a sense of community that is incredibly rare to find at a hotel. This is much more than a place to sleep—it's an experience. The combination of a magnificently restored historic inn, stunning gardens, exceptional breakfasts, and François's genuine hospitality made this a stay we'll never forget. We recommend this property without hesitation and look forward to returning someday.
