Renovated historic hotel offering views of the Château Royal d’Amboise and Loire River, a bar, and a lounge

Manoir Les Minimes, a jewel nestled within the renowned Châteaux de la Loire area, presents a unique opportunity to experience history firsthand, blended seamlessly with modern comforts. This meticulously renovated historical property boasts truly unobstructed and breathtaking views that stretch across the majestic Château Royal and the gently flowing Loire River. Situated in the heart of the old and charming neighborhood of Amboise, Manoir Les Minimes has a rich and fascinating past. Originally constructed as a convent in the year 1493, its foundations are steeped in centuries of stories.

While the property has undergone careful renovations and updates throughout the passing centuries, this now-esteemed hotel has been thoughtfully designed to retain preserved architectural components in select areas of the building. These preserved details offer guests a tangible connection to the past, providing a compelling glimpse into what it might have been like to inhabit this remarkable space in centuries long gone. The hotel’s prime location provides effortless access to nearby attractions. It is conveniently located just a short nine-minute stroll from L’Ile d’Or, a picturesque island gracefully positioned on the Loire River. L’Ile d’Or offers verdant greenery, tranquil settings, and absolutely stunning panoramic views of the captivating town of Amboise.

Furthermore, Manoir Les Minimes is a mere seven minutes away from the popular and historically significant Château Royal d’Amboise. As you embark on your enjoyable walk towards Château Royal d’Amboise, your path will lead you past another significant landmark, the Tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, a poignant reminder of the region’s profound cultural and historical significance, and undoubtedly an attraction well worth pausing to see.

Manoir Les Minimes offers a curated collection of just under fifteen meticulously appointed rooms, as well as two luxurious suites, distributed across two distinct sections: the original Manor and the charming Pavilion. The rooms located within the Manor offer magnificent views, allowing guests to gaze upon either the grandeur of the Château Royal d’Amboise or the serene beauty of the Loire River. These rooms have been designed with a modern and minimalist aesthetic, enlivened by carefully chosen pops of color that add vibrancy and character to the space. The Prestige Room, for example, offers guests a choice between elegantly understated white walls and bedding or a more playful option featuring white and blue wallpaper complemented by matching linens. The Manor Deluxe rooms, on the other hand, offer a cozy and inviting ambiance, characterized by exposed wooden beams that add a touch of rustic charm to the attic-styled rooms. The careful selection of colors, in harmony with the warm wooden flooring and the sleek white marble baths, creates a modern and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The Pavilion rooms share a similar dedication to style and comfort, yet with a subtly more Bohemian feel. These rooms are characterized by their light, bright, and earthy tones, and offer an especially spacious layout, complete with separate living spaces and bedrooms for added comfort and unparalleled convenience.

Begin each day with a delightful breakfast experience in the hotel’s elegant dining room, which offers picturesque views of the terrace and the surrounding gardens. The breakfast selection includes an array of both hot and cold beverages, an assortment of seasonal fruits bursting with freshness, and all the typical breakfast staples you would expect, such as freshly baked pastries, a variety of delectable jams, and perfectly prepared eggs. At any time throughout the day, whenever hunger strikes, you can easily visit the hotel’s charming shop, a boutique area stocked with local groceries and regional wines. The hotel’s bar is also open throughout the day, ready to serve refreshing drinks and expertly crafted cocktails. For those seeking a more relaxing and contemplative setting, the lounge and library provide an ideal haven. Furthermore, the property also offers convenient bicycle storage facilities, as well as private car parking, readily accessible whenever you require it.
