I read reviews about the small rooms but I was still surprised just how small it was.

Location. Surprisingly quiet, even on the weekend. Comfortable bed.

Stayed in July 2025

Our room and the dining room were very clean but the outside terrace where we chose to have breakfast not so much.

Unusual hotel with some of the rooms and the small pool being troglodyte. Our room was spacious and comfortable and had a terrace overlooking the garden. Good quality produce for breakfast.

The decor was slightly tired in places but this didn’t spoil our stay.

Very unusual location amongst caves . Interesting swimming pool inside a cave . An evening meal was available in the form of potted food. Surprisingly palatable and very nicely served on a pleasant terrace

If we return we will hire a car as transport not great. But the owner kindly picked us from main town as there were no taxis

The wifi wasn’t great which was fine for our stay but may be difficult for others.

Unique place to stay. Loved the pool and we enjoyed a cave room

We felt that the local areas could have been a bit cleaner, but what do you expect from a cave hotel?

We didn’t get a cave room but the one we had was lovely. We swam in the cave pool which was a great experience. It was a shame that due to recent rain that the entrance was closed and we had to shimmy along the edge to get in. We had dinner on the terrace ‘dinner in a bowl’ with a bottle of local bubbly it was lovely

Noting

It was a unique property, very French. Guaume was an excellent host, always available and nothing was too much trouble. The swimming pool built into the cave was a truly different experience! The breakfast was excellent. I loved Guaume’s home made bread.

The outside area for breakfast, dinner and drinks is unfortunately plagued by wasps there are many nests in the grassed area just below the patio where we sat. They also plague the inside during breakfast feasting on the jams and fruits. This could easily be sorted by getting rid of the nests. The outside is a beautiful area and the wasps just spoilt relaxing there. We would despite the wasps recommend staying here for a whole new experience💕

Most unusual place sleeping in a cave was an experience and eating a delicious evening meal out of Jars was amazing and well thought out as no restaurant nearby to be able to walk to. Location perfect as just off a road into Saumur where there is everything you need from restaurants to supermarkets and the beautiful Loire River. 💕

I selected a room with a pool view which was stretching the truth. You could glimpse the pool if you tried. There was a dirty ashtray outside our room on arrival.

I loved the option of staying in a cave. There’s a lovely outdoor seating area & excellent breakfast. Its location was great for buying gifts & for bars.

The pool itself was awesome but could do with a clean/sweep and more chairs available in that area to leave your towel, dressing gown etc (there was only 1). No food available onsite, only pre-prepared jars of food which didn't really appeal to us. Lovely drinks though to enjoy on the pretty patio area!

Very quirky, unusual hotel with a swimming pool in a cave! Large bedroom - we didn't choose a cave bedroom but our room was large and comfortable. Great buffet breakfast. The manager (and all staff) were great - so helpful and friendly and seemed to work all hours. His English was so good too, nothing was too much trouble - and he has the cutest dog! Brilliant location to visit the Loire area and lots of vineyards around - we had a wine tasting session which was great.

Excellent breakfast, great location. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Swimming pool a bonus.

We liked everything. Our only regret is that we booked only one night, and had to move on to our next destination in Amboise.

The property is extremely charming - we had a suite with a kitchen and superb living room. We also had a washer and dryer, which enabled us to wash all our dirty laundry. The swimming pool, inside a cave, was magnificent. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Strange and unusual rooms in a cave carved into a cliff. Breakfast in the room was an option which was nice. Also a swimming pool in a cave!

The heated grotto pool is fantastic. The service was excellent, the staff, the property, the room all were just wonderful. It was a lovely place to stay and I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone staying on this part of France. It was a lovely and fascinating place to stay with some rooms cut into the stone.

Layout is a little complicated

Originality and uniqueness

The bike racks in the cave were of the sort that bends ones front wheel. But plenty of walls to lean the bike on instead.

A swim in a cavern! Grapes from the house vine for breakfast! Bats flying about in the dusk above the terrace! And a comfortable modern hotel indoors. I note there was wheelchair access to my room. The cool location on the north side of a cliff would be a bonus in very hot weather.

EVERYTHING! Charming! Cozy! Yanek was the best host.

Nothing. It was fantastic!

A wonderful visit, with a wonderful cave pool and fantastic breakfast featuring local produce.

Well-appointed and the owner is absolutely wonderful! The pool was so refreshing. A fan was provided to help with the heat wave and it was nice and cool in the evening. The breakfast was exceptional.

not much really, stupidly we let the kids have the big bed upstairs, so my wife and I were on the smaller bed down stairs. which did dip in the middle a bit

Very friendly welcome, informative and great dinner recommendation. great breakfast and lovely wine and rum on the terrace in the evening. quirky place to stay, highly recommend!

Corner bath with shower attachment. Enclosed shower would have been better or at least a shower curtain and high level shower attachment but this was our only very small issue.

Great location, great staff, very relaxing

Second time we stayed here. We were lucky enough to stay in a cave room. It was very special and the staff were wonderful. Lovely breakfast , overlooking the Loire valley. Exceptional experience.
