Hôtel Château de Verrières & Spa Saumur

What a magical chateau- steeped in history, small but majestic and an oasis of green within the city of Saumur. Beautifully presented, friendly and helpful staff but discrete service and their presence only when needed. Outdoor heated pool also a highlight. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

We stayed at the Chateau with two other couples for 4 nights. We all loved the property and cannot say enough pleasant things about Flor. The house is gorgeous and has several common areas to gather and share adventures of the day. Each of our rooms/suites was spacious, unique, and extremely comfortable. The weather was cooler than expected, so we did not swim, but did recline in lounge chairs for a while one afternoon and could imagine how lovely it would have been to take a dip had the air temperatures cooperated! The chateau was an easy walk to the city center and numerous restaurants. If we are ever in Saumur again, we would not even think of staying elsewhere. Best of luck to Flor and Jeremy with baby #3!

A lovely chateau in the heart of Saumar, family owned and run. We had a large bedroom and bathroom decorated with taste and hints of the orient. The pool is a good size and there are plenty of sun beds to relax on. The gardens are extremely well kept, with plenty of shady trees. There is no restaurant, but staff are happy to recommend and book restaurants for you. They do, of course, serve a full breakfast. There is secure parking accessed by means of a large electric gate.

Fantastic property. Perfectly presented and maintained. Booked last minute over the phone whilst travelling to the South. The owner was charming and was very happy to take our booking. Room was huge with period fittings. Would not hesitate to book again.

My family and I elected to stay here (formerly Chateau Marquise) because of the excellent reviews on trip advisor. Our stay did not reflect what we had read online from other travelers. While the exterior of the house and the grounds are pretty, it is quite isolated from the center of Saumur (which is not the fault of the hotel but should be noted for others arriving). If you do not rent a car, moving around the area can be quite difficult as the taxi services have a monopoly on transport and are not always reliable. There is plenty of parking on site. The staff are polite but disengaged. The front desk is often “unmanned.” There is no staff on the premises after 9PM. This is not well advertised and would have affected my decision to stay here. There are only ten rooms in the building and not all are occupied. Thus, when the lone staff member leaves at 9PM (and turns off literally all the lights in the hotel hallways and common areas, even the automatic ones triggered by movement), it is lonely and dark. There isn’t even a place to get a glass of water in the dining room after 9. Some of the rooms are quite dated and dusty, others are more fresh. Our rooms were a mix of well cleaned and below average. The bathrooms are spacious with both shower and tub. The hotel breakfast is quite average with supermarket products (yogurts, rolls). I regret participating and spending on the breakfast. The bakeries and restaurants of Saumur are so excellent, the twenty euro a person would have been better spent in the village. Overall, this was not the wisest travel choice I have made. I did not feel safe in the dark and empty chateau at night with no staff and no idea of who else was present. Had I known, I would have made other arrangements. The rest of the stay was not remarkable in any way.

This has to be one of my favourite hotel stays ever. Flore and Jeremy were fabulous hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The rooms are gorgeous - we had a large room with castle views. The decor is stunning throughout the hotel . It was so quiet during the stay - it felt like we were in the middle of the country rather than in the town centre. The spa is definitely worth a visit if you have the time. Again beautifully decorated and tranquil. The stay completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saumur. I can’t wait to visit again when I am next in saumur.
