Le Prieure d'Orchaise

Antoine and Ann Marie were the consummate hosts, the priory steeped in history yet with modern conveniences, the gardens are tres magnifique! These accommodations will be hard to surpass the rest of the trip!

Can't Wait to Return! I can't say enough good things about this property! We absolutely loved our stay. We've already recommended it to friends and family; we can't wait to go back again. The home and garden are beautiful and comfortable - the linens were some of the softest I've had at any hotel! They were very accommodating of our baby - they set up a pack-n-play for her to sleep in and a high chair for breakfast. The breakfast spread had lots of options, all of them delicious. Antoine is such a great host. Having breakfast with him each morning and hearing his stories was a delight. He gave us recommendations of things to do in the area and set up reservations at amazing restaurants nearby. Overall this place and this family made us feel at home.

Beautiful, Authentic, Enchanting Stay We stayed for almost a week in August (two adults, two teens). We had been intrigued by the very strong reviews and scores and the photos looked beautiful. It was our first time in the Loire Valley. I must say, the highly positive reviews were exactly correct. We travel a considerable amount all over the world and this was, hands down, our best stay anywhere. The property is inspiring. The garden is a clearly a labor of love. My wife and I walked throughout it most evenings with a glass of wine. Just stunning and genuinely uplifting. Our two rooms were what we envisioned as quintessential Loire Valley, spacious, immaculately clean, and very comfortable in a classic French style. The house was stunning, beautifully updated and maintained. Again, genuinely inspiring. Breakfast was not only filling and tasty but full of wonderful conversation and people met each morning. Last but not least, our hosts, Antoine and Anne-Marie are absolute gems of human beings. Their generosity and helpfulness is only matched by their passion for and dedication to the Prieure resulting in an incredibly authentic experience for us. This stay has raised our expectations of what is possible. I have always heard of stays that change your perspective but this was the first stay of this magnitude for my family and I. Thank you Antoine and Anne-Marie. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Magnificent property with exceptional service from host Antoine. Unique experience in France vallée de la Loire.

My family and I had an amazing stay at Antoine’s chateau. It is hard to put into words how special this place is. The chateau is decorated beautifully with the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. We had the two room family suite and the balcony overlooking the garden had a beautiful view. We would have breakfast every morning with Antoine and the other guests and have great conversations about our travels. Antoine had a special way of keeping the conversation flowing and drawing everyone in. I felt like I were coming home and had such a special connection with Antoine and the chateau. I wanted to cry as we were saying goodbye…it was that hard to leave. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to stay here, don’t think twice. It is on my bucket list to stay a second time.

Une très belle demeure, très bien meublée avec tout le confort moderne. Mention spéciale pour l'horloge début 19ème, à remonter une seule fois par an, équipée de ses instruments de mesure (T°/Pression) ! La chambre avec mobilier d'époque Empire est spacieuse et la salle de bains très propre et fonctionnelle, avec vue sur le parc. Le petit déjeuner pris en compagnie de Mr. A.Treuille et son épouse, très détendu, a gréable et surtout très copieux, avec des produits de qualité. Enfin, le parc botanique est à parcourir, très riche et bien documenté, avec des espèces rares et notamment, des Acer qui se déguisent en Quercus... Autant le dire, une étape très réussie, à recommander aux visiteurs de passage dans cette belle région.
