What a fantastic way to start our trip to France. Great location for Loire Valley chateaux, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and a terrific restaurant. We checked in at lunchtime and the place was packed - and deservedly so. We stayed two nights, ate dinner there both evenings, and were awed by the gastronomic delights. The room was cozy and clean... More

Having read the reviews of this hotel we thought the detour from the Tours main highway to be worthwhile. We were immediately dissapointed to find that all the rooms are in an annexe away from the reception and restaurant in the pretty main building. The deep gravel on the drive meant one had to carry the cases quite a distance... More

My wife and I recently moved to Paris, and we've been exploring the various regions in France. We carefully researched the options in the Loire / Cher valleys, and chose to try L'Auberge de Launay. We've very glad we did. The highlights for us were our dinner and breakfast there and the charm and hospitality of the owners, a husband... More

Absolutely fantastic place as a home base to explore the Loire Valley. The rooms were ample in size and very clean, but their restaurant is what the locals and tourists alike come here for. Their restaurant was so great that we ended up dining here ever day, breakfast and dinner. With welcoming hospitality from moment of arrival to departure, we... More

We had a wonderful stay at Auberge de Launay. We had a very comfortable, quiet room. The owners were very friendly and very willing to answer any questions we had. We were especially impressed with the restaurant they have on the premises. The dinners were very good and reasonably priced. The environment was very pleasant with white linen table cloths... More

We have stayed at the Auberge on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The rooms are comfortable and clean; the food and wines are excellent and the service cannot be faulted. On one of the days of this stay, the heavens opened and we returned to the Auberge after a short dive into Amboise to pick up a sandwich... More

This is the fourth time we have stayed at this hotel. It is well located for a day or twos sightseeing in the Loire Valley. The rooms are simple but large. The highlight is the restaurant. Marvelous food and wine in a modern French Cuisine. The prices are good. The Auberge is not adjacent to anything else close so better... More

My wife and I stayed for the night on a long drive south. It proved to be a quite slick and modernised version of the traditional French logis. Located very adjacent to the Loire although concealed from it by what appears to be a levee it is a few miles outside the old town of Amboise with its regulation chateau... More

Our family stayed for 2 nights in August. The hotel setting and grounds are lovely. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the "grotto" in the evenings before dinner sipping Loire valley wine. The food and service are top notch, dinners were excellent with a focus on local items. The only downs side, is the room was a bit stuffy with no... More
