The Top 18 Hotels Near Ververt
-
Sleeping inside a 12th-century royal abbey is the premise here, and the hotel commits to it fully. Rooms sit in the old Saint-Lazare priory, a nun's quarters converted into calm, atmospheric lodging a short walk from the main complex, so guests get the run of the grounds after the tour groups have gone home. Eleanor of Aquitaine is buried nearby, which is either thrilling or unnerving depending on your constitution. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

A 21-room boutique hotel tucked into a quiet courtyard right next to Tours' covered gourmet market, Les Halles, which is a useful combination. The rooms mix antique touches with genuinely modern comforts, and a wellness area adds an indoor pool, sauna, and steam room to the deal. The salon pours wines and cocktails and opens onto the courtyard, so you can sit outside feeling pleasantly secluded while the city carries on about ten steps away.

-
A 19th-century townhouse on the boulevard, done up in whites and bare hardwood floors with contemporary art on the walls, giving the whole thing a quietly gallery-like feel. Markus is a 14-room boutique hotel in Angers where the aesthetic is minimal without trying too hard. An on-site coffee shop serves brunch and pastry-chef snacks to guests and locals alike, which keeps the place from feeling precious.
-
Eighteen stilted lodges sit among oaks and Douglas firs in a 750-acre forest, with a jacuzzi on each terrace and, notably, no wi-fi or TV. Loire Valley Lodges is a forest retreat that skips the château playbook entirely, leaning into Nordic-modernist calm instead. An old stone barn handles reception and a restaurant serving upscale French cooking. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
A 14-room château hotel a short drive from Angers that genuinely rewards the impulse to do nothing. Sheep wander the grounds, a botanical and vegetable garden fill the park, and the heated pool looks out toward Île Saint-Aubin on the Mayenne. Organic breakfasts and light sharing plates cover meals, though the city's restaurants are close enough that skipping dinner here never feels like a sacrifice.
-
A rare Érard grand piano sits in the salon of this Loire Valley château hotel, which tells you something about how seriously the place takes itself. Stone castle, 15th-century manor house, chapel, and orangerie spread across a park of old-growth trees on the River Loir, with ivory-hued rooms, custom room fragrances, and a lavish breakfast on the veranda. The outdoor pool is for everyone else who skips the piano.
-
A former monastery carved into the limestone cliffs above the Loire, now a hotel where guests sleep in the monks' old cells, built directly into the rock face. Low-lit cave passages connect the rooms, which run from Scandinavian-spare to scarlet carpets and bold botanicals. Natural light is scarce, but the stone-lined bathrooms and river views more than fill the gap. Landscaped gardens lead down to a pool on the riverfront.
-
A real castle owned by an actual prince, which feels like the setup to a joke until you're sleeping in a Marie-Antoinette-style bed beneath beamed ceilings. This château hotel outside Tours has 22 rooms and four apartments dressed with antique furnishings and stone walls. The 70-hectare grounds hold a pool, a tennis court, and, inexplicably, a conservatory of 785 tomato varieties that feeds the outdoor summer kitchen.
-
A sixteenth-century château on a 24-hectare estate in the Loire, with vineyards, manicured French gardens, and woodland on all sides. The 17 rooms lean into the history without apology: Toile de Jouy wallpaper, four-poster beds, antique furnishings. Ground-floor rooms in the Clock Pavilion come with a private garden. The restaurant runs breakfast through dinner on seasonal, local cooking, and a heated outdoor pool is there for when the aristocratic fantasy fully takes hold.
-
Racing fans have stopped here on the pilgrimage to Le Mans for generations, which gives this small-town hotel on the main square of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir a pleasantly fanatical edge. The 25 rooms across three buildings run from snug classics to junior suites with four-poster beds and crystal chandeliers. The restaurant leans into regional Sarthe cooking paired with Jasnières wines from up the valley. The Michelin Guide has it selected.
-
Staff in period costume serve a candlelit, four-course dinner by 17th-century protocol, which sets the tone for this Loire château hotel before you've even seen your room. Suites named after figures from Louis XIV's court come with velvet, gilded mirrors, Carrara marble clawfoot tubs, and enough heavy drapery to suggest you've moved in permanently. The grounds run to rose gardens, orchards, and trees old enough to have been saplings under the Sun King himself.
-
A boutique hotel tucked into an old building in Amboise that spent a century as a boarding school before anyone thought to add a Jacuzzi. The 31 rooms run from straightforward contemporaries to duplexes with private terraces, and the all-day bar handles both morning coffee and evening drinks. No restaurant, but a small grocery stocked with local products covers picnic supplies for the Loire riverbank, which is close enough to feel like yours.
-
A ten-room hotel spa in a timbered house on Rue Rabelais that has, over the years, been a bank, a school, and a solicitor's office, which makes it considerably more interesting than most places you'd sleep. Some rooms open onto private terraces with views over Amboise's rooftops and the castle looming above it all. Bathrooms have both a deep tub and a hydromassage shower, and a small spa and pool are on hand for those long Loire Valley afternoons.
