Fodor's Review:

The spectacular setting at the foot of Saumur castle may appeal to you most about this elegant 18th-century hotel—or maybe the flower-strewn courtyard, or perhaps the views of the Loire from some of the guest rooms (although not the traffic rushing by). The finest retain their original, late-18th- and early-19th-century decoration, and one is even furbished to the designs of Percier and Fontaine, Napoléon's favorite architects. A real plus is the restaurant Les Ménestrels (closed Sunday), found in a lovingly restored 16th-century house up against the castle cliff. The menu here changes regularly under the eye of virtuoso chef Christophe Hosselet, who has a penchant for perch with spring-onion fondue, partridge with walnuts, and wild mushrooms with ham and foie gras. Pros: classic architecture; serious restaurant. Cons: smallish rooms; busy road close by.Lucie (reception)
