Logis Hôtel Demeure de la Vignole
About
The Logis Hôtel Demeure de la Vignole is a charming troglodyte hotel perched on the limestone cliffs of the Loire valley, just 10 km from Saumur. The 17th‑century limestone house and its 12th‑century troglodyte rooms offer a rare blend of historic character and modern comfort – each of the 11 rooms boasts its own pebble‑lined walls and contemporary amenities such as Wi‑Fi, flat‑screen TV and en‑suite bathrooms. A heated troglodyte pool inside the rock, a fitness area, a terrace with panoramic views, and a gourmet breakfast buffet create a tranquil setting for couples, families or wine‑enthusiasts seeking an escape from the bustle of Paris. The hotel lies within walking distance of the Abbey of Fontevraud, the châteaux of Montsoreau, Brézé and Chinon, as well as local vineyards and the unique Bioparc of Doué. Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, the quality of the food and the exceptional atmosphere of this historic resort.
