La Grande Carree

La Grand Career is a hidden gem. The owners - Sophie and Stephane - are generous and welcoming hosts. They connect with you fast and offer one of the best informational letters I have ever received regarding your visit and what you want and need to know. Their historic Bed & Breakfast home is beautiful and just that - a comfortable, secure, well-designed, tastefully decorated. well-maintained home. They have you in mind in all ways and always. Your privacy is respected. You receive top level service - lovely linens, great bed for sleeping, well-appointed modern bathroom ( I stayed in the spacious 'Josephine Room' ). Breakfast was Delicious - an abundant offering of breads, cereals, fruit, coffee, and teas (in a large cup, and I adore that choice) jams+++ I especially loved the homemade strudel by Sophie, and spiced fruit compote! Book this professional B&B. The standards and care are high! Thank you, Sophie and Stephane, for a superb stay! Michael Feeley - Saba Island Properties

This is a magnificent Maison d'hote (B and B). The quality and cleanliness of our room was outstanding. The breakfast was substantial and delicious, with great care taken to provide me with gluten and lactose free items. The proprietors were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Our stay was a wonderful experience and we will never forget it. The location is ideal for visiting the main town of Tours with the tram stop nearby. Notwithstanding the town location, our room was very quiet.

I highly recommend staying here as the hosts are excellent and rooms are very comfortable. It is an historic building with all the rooms being recently renovated. You get the best of both with a charming, rustic building and modern wonderful room. Wish I could stay longer and will be my first choice when returning to visit.

We loved our stay at La Grande Carree. It has been lovingly renovated. We stayed on the 2nd floor. The air conditioning was a gift in the unexpected high temperature . The room was stunning with antique beams and modern toilets. Breakfast is excellent with treats like pain perdue or fruit crostata. Sophie & Stephane are excellent hosts.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! First, the building was beautiful: they perfectly merged the historical nature of the building with modern conveniences and a gorgeous color scheme. The hosts were great with restaurant recommendations (l'Etape Gormande is a must), an additional castle to visit, and explaining the building's story. The rooms were comfortable and relaxing.

Stephane and Sophie were wonderful, very welcoming and incredibly helpful during our stay. The room was spacious and the facilities beautiful. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or their hotel to anyone.

The owners are the most wonderful hosts. This chateau is a beautiful place to stay if exploring Tours and the Loire Valley region. Would have have stayed longer if we were able.

Great stay, really quiet and comforting B&B
