We had an absolutely extraordinary stay at the Prieure D'Orchaise. Do yourself a favor and book this property before the rest of the world finds out about it.
Our family was looking for a unique stay in the Loire valley region that was within driving distance of the various chateaux. We initially booked the Prieure because it sort of looked like a castle and we thought the kids would enjoy the stay.
Not only did we enjoy ourselves, but we will almost certainly return! The room was superb, the breakfast exceptional, and the grounds inviting. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed playing with the hunting dog and had a fantastic time looking at the various treasures in the Prieure (the pirate chest was a favorite).
The host is incredibly friendly and entertained us with a variety of stories about the Prieure and the family's history. The host was also kind enough to walk us to the village bakery one morning.
The Prieure is conveniently located about 20 minutes from Blois and about 45 minutes from Castle Chenonceau and Castle Chambord. By vehicle it is approximately 2 hours from Paris Orly airport.
I can't say enough good things about the Prieure D'Orchaise. Just extraordinary hospitality and exceptional accommodations. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. We are eager to return!
