My husband and I recently (April 2025) stayed at Hotel Le Haut des Lys in Villandry, and I can highly recommend this hotel. (Be sure to book directly at their website, for the best rate and to avoid the owners having to pay a commission to a third-party booking site.) We stayed in a modern room in the annex with a comfortable bed and a large shower room. The room has A/C which we didn’t need but would come in very handy as we move into the summer months. I also recommend their breakfast, which offers a high-end coffee maker (cappucino, cafe au lait, etc.) and a large selection of food items, many of which are sourced locally. They also offer a very reasonably-priced evening meal for a set price in their attractive dining room, which is excellent value. We only booked the meal for our first night, and in hindsight, I wish we had eaten there both evenings; our other meal at a nearby restaurant was much more expensive and of disappointing quality. The grounds are lovely, and in good weather, you can easily walk to the Chauteau. Last but not least, everyone who works there (the owners and the staff) were incredibly helpful and courteous. For those of us whose French is rusty or non-existent, they all speak excellent English. We were so impressed - one of our best accommodation experiences ever, and we have done quite a bit of international travel over the years. We feel very lucky to have discovered this gem.
