What a gem! James and Matthew are wonderful hosts! James welcomed us with a big smile and even though we arrived later than we had said, it wasn't a problem. We had not made a reservation for dinner but were graciously accommodated and enjoyed drinks by the pool beforehand. A big shout out for Matthew's incredible food - the confit duck and macarons and ice cream were absolutely delicious! We also had a fantastic breakfast - including Matthew's homemade waffles which are outrageous! The location is really lovely and peaceful in a wonderful rural location. The rooms are very comfortable with private terraces and there is a beautiful pool. They really have taken great care and attention to detail to make your stay very special. They are making further improvements, so I imagine a future visit - which we would love to make - will exceed expectations even further.

A beautiful property in an idyllic setting so peaceful and tranquil. We had a beautiful spacious room and the pool is fantastic. James and Matthew looked after us so well and looked after my dietary restrictions so well. We ate there for dinner two nights and loved it. We couldn't recommend it enough and look forward to returning. Thank you so much.

We had a wonderful welcome and we were well looked after by James throughout our stay. Matthew is an amazing cook, we especially loved the sweet potato fries. The breakfast was extremely generous, overall the stay was good value.

Everything ! 😃. James and Matthew are very kind and take care of the guests🌸 we felt welcomed and relaxed - we enjoyed the beautiful room with the opening to the garden 🪴. The dinner was exquisit and we had it in the garden . I enjoyed the plunge in the pool after a long drive. The breakfast was outstanding and delicious. The whole experience was such a nice start of our vacation! ❤️. The environment is very nice there is a lot to do and see. We visited Chenonceau castle it was a dream 😃. We would love to come back and recommend it to everyone.

Perfect 😍

James and Matthew are the best hosts I ever met since I’ve been travalling (over 40 years) they make you feel at home! The house, the pool, the dinner and their breakfast with home made products , I will come back !

The pictures do not do it justice, just beautiful! It has everything you could ever need and I cannot express enough how wonderful the hospitality of James and Matthew were! James took care of every need and Matthew is an outstanding chef! It was hard to leave!

As everything was so good and exceeded our expectations, it is difficult to find any points for improvements. Maybe the choice of wines could have been a bit larger and include other than only local red and white wines. On the other hand, we liked the wines they had and which we maybe wouldn't have tried if, some of the known wines would have been available.

James and Matthews are such nice, Australian persons (who do speak French as well) that we regret that we only stayed two days at their nice little hotel, which is well located to visit some of the Loire castles. Matthews is a great cook and breakfast and dinner next to the pool were really good (we had Irish beef and salmon, both very good). We also liked the heated pool. The rooms are not so large but large enough. It is also very practical that the 4 rooms have a doors which give you access to either the courtyard or the swimming pool area. We will come back !!!

There is absolutely nothing that could even come close to ‘not pleasing’.

All the glowing reviews about Sans Souci Bed and Breakfast are absolutely true – and we’re happy to confirm every word. James and Matthew are not just fantastic hosts; they have the rare gift of making guests feel truly welcome. Their warm hearts are, quite honestly, bigger than any château in the Loire Valley. The charming countryside house is quietly located in Luzillé, perfectly situated for visits to the most beautiful castles in the region. Cheverny, Chenonceau, Le Clos Lucé, Château Gaillard, and Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire – all easily accessible without stress. The rose festival in Chédigny was another highlight. The house itself has been renovated with great taste and attention to detail – elegant, well-maintained, and full of character. The view is stunning, the garden lovely, and dining by the pool or inside by the fireplace is equally delightful. Breakfast is a feast: generous, fresh, lovingly prepared – and every morning holds a new pièce de résistance to enjoy. Matthew’s cooking in the evening is also outstanding. And please: Have the macaron for dessert ONCE. You'll see why. There are also good restaurants nearby – La Charbonnade in Bléré serves great pizza (no-frills, but be sure to book), and we loved Le Parvis in Amboise for open-fire grilled dishes. Our room by the pool (La reine Margot) was beautifully appointed, perfectly equipped, and very comfortable. We slept wonderfully – and looked forward to a dip in the pool and an apéro every afternoon. For people with electric cars: there are plenty of charging points. Among other things, there is a Fastcharger from iecharge.io outside Bléré, in the middle of the fields (simply pay by card). No petrol station can match that :-). Conclusion: This B&B reflects the excellence of two hospitality and culinary professionals, paired with genuine warmth. Nothing is missing – and what remains is the feeling of having spent five truly special days in just the right place.

A great experience ! James and Matthew have succeeded in combining professionalism and kindness, attention to their hosts. We were in one of the 4(or 5?) rooms where everything was perfect and cosy. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and generous: Matthew is a great chef 👌 James is always anticipating the slighest wishes of his host, with efficiency but always with discretion. To sum up: a pleasant break in idyllic surroundings and conditions (not forgetting the heated swimming pool!)

We’ve had a really nice holiday here. We stayed in the suite with its own private terrace, which has a great view and is fantastic to spend your evenings. Matthew is also a great host, who makes delicious breakfast and has nice tips for things to do in the area. The location is ideal to see all the castles of the Loire valley.

Lovely place on the countryside. The host Matthew is a lovely person, very nice and helpful. The interior shows a lot of attention to details. Beautyfully decorated. Comfy beds as well. The breakfast is absolutely perfect! We loved this place and will return if we come back to this area in France.

James greeted us at the gate, when we arrived. We immediately felt like we were valued guests. Every effort was made to make us feel welcome. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were comfortable. We ate dinner both nights we were there, and the food was some of the best I have had. Matthew is an incredible chef. I would definitely return.
