L'Aubinière Hôtel Restaurant & Spa

We discovered L’Aubinière while searching online, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. This charming, family-owned hotel exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The owners are absolutely lovely— Odile and Jacques ( a wonderful chef) are gracious, kind, and deeply committed to making each guest feel at home. The accommodations are very comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and maintained with great care. But what truly sets L’Aubinière apart is its superb restaurant. Every meal was a delight—beautifully prepared, locally inspired, and full of flavor. Dining there felt like a special occasion each time. There’s something magical about this place, and that magic is created by the people who run it. Their passion, attention to detail, and personal touch make all the difference. L’Aubinière is more than just a hotel—it’s an experience we’ll never forget, and we can’t wait to return.

We spent two nights at L’Aubinière in Amboise and were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the cleanliness of the property, the elegance of the atmosphere, and above all, the exceptional service. The lady who runs the place is the true soul of the hotel. She manages everything—from welcoming guests at reception to personally overseeing the dinner service in their in-house restaurant—with warmth, grace, and a clear passion for her work. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and were absolutely amazed by the quality of the cuisine and the thoughtful, attentive service. Every detail reflected care and dedication. The hotel also offers a small spa that guests can access freely—a lovely and relaxing bonus. Breakfast was exceptional, and the rooms were both spotless and comfortable. In short, everything was flawless. Highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant. Choice of two menus with choices within them. Very creative, high quality and excellent service. Excellent wine list. Recommend the Vouvray Huet. Must book well in advance. I live in the village next door, and this restaurant is well known for its cuisibe in the Amboise valley. St Ouen is a beautiful village, with lovely walks around the valley down and around Pocé sur Cisse. Excellent location to see all the castles in the area
