The upper-middle-range Hotel Le Manoir les Minimes is a 15-room manor house situated right along the Loire River with views of the nearby Château Royal d'Amboise. Lounge areas feature traditional French country decor and the hotel sits on a well-manicured plot with exceptional views and some outdoor seating. The downfall here is the limited property features. While there's a charming dining room offering breakfast (for a fee), and a bureau stocked with liquor that serves as a bar, the property lacks a full-service restaurant or wellness facilities. Rooms, situated among the manor house and adjacent cottage, are individually decorated with traditional decor that's progressively more stylish as you move up in room category. Modern amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. By comparison, the Le Manoir Saint Thomas is just a touch more luxe, though it lacks the riverfront location.
