A wall metal panel in the bedroom was bent and slightly detached.

The historic bldg, the gardens, the “sound and light show” at night, the renovated crypt under the church, the sumptuous breakfast, the picnic dinner with a modern refined but tasty fare

Beautiful place and amazing location within the abbey grounds. Fantastic light and sound show on the evening….was not expecting that!

I wish the restaurant was open every day!

Wonderful as ever. Beautiful place, great location. Access to the antire Abbaye after hours is a real bonus. Lovely breakfast

The room and hotel are well designed and comfortable, and we understand it is a heritage building so airconditioning cannot be installed, thus sadly the room was very warm, Thankfully when we visited it was not the hottest weather, but it still was too warm for a comfortable sleep, despite the fan. The outdoors bar is a nice idea but the service at the bar did not match the service in the restaurant, which is a pity.

The Abbéy was really fabulous and the village is beautiful. The light show was wonderful as was the restaurant where we dined.

Although the staff was very polite, helpful, and responsive, it was clear that there was a shortage of personnel. Dinner (which was pre-ordered) was slightly delayed, and the staff were constantly rushing around, so busy and concerned that it almost felt uncomfortable to disturb them. That said, everyone was truly kind and pleasant.

The place is truly impressive. At night, there was a light festival, and after all the visitors had left, I was able to walk alone among the buildings with music and light effects – it was absolutely magical and unforgettable. There were also various art exhibitions displayed within the majestic walls and spaces of the church, chapel, and monastery. Silence, peace, and grandeur – all in one place. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and very interesting in their presentation. I would truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special and memorable.

It was beautiful

Only slight improvement would be to add another comfortable chair in the room.

Wonderful location. Access to the Royal Abbey in the evening after the public had gone. Although there was no space in the restaurant in the evening we had a picnic hamper of hot food to have in the garden. It was super.

Amazing location in the grounds of Fontevraud Abbey, it was such a treat to be able to wander round the Abbey and grounds late into the evening. The staff were brilliant collecting our luggage from the car park as soon as we arrived, ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay and their enthusiasm during service in the restaurant.

The hotel is a fantastic setup with peace and quiet and easy access to the town only a short walk away. Access to the grounds of the Abbey provides a lovely opportunity to walk around in peace and admire the architecture.

The cheap carpet in the corridors and bedrooms. The bathroom door very close and next to the bed and lack of storage in the room.

The location was superb and the best thing about staying there was being able to visit the Abbaye out of opening hours. It made it a very special experience. The conversion of the Historic site was sensitively and beautifully done.

We arrived too late to visit the abbey by night!

Nice family room for 4, healthy breakfast, lots of options, great tea and coffee, kind staff, parking included in the gated property.

The family room we were allocated had NO CHAIR at all. The Architects responsible may be fashionable and well known but this is NOT IDEAL

A stay at the Abbey gives out of hours access to the tomb of Richard the Lion Heart,a TRULY MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

All is perfect!

The breakfast was excellent. It's totally European style. Perfect!

Only very minor hiccups! I wish there had been another option other than the coddled eggs at breakfast but only because I don’t like that kind of egg. I wasn’t expecting a gym at all so to find signs that there was a fitness room was a nice surprise but then it was very small and with limited equipment. And the guest access in and out of the property after hours wasn’t clear. There is a gate to let you go into the village but it’s not signed and how to use it isn’t clear. I had to walk back to reception to ask and, by the time I got back to the gate, there were 4 other people trying to work it out! I understand not wanting a sign at the gate with instructions but a sign could be posted at reception or in the hotel information. Or staff could just explain it in advance.

Great stay at an amazing location with very nice and helpful staff. After hours access to the abbey grounds is amazing

Bigger choice at breakfast

Breakfast was adequate but not exceptional as fairly limited choice. The abbey itself was amazing and peace and quiet of site

This part of France is really worthwhile visiting. We had a great stay at this amazing monestary. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, the restaurant is very good and the staff professional and very friendly. Recommend it.

No breakfast included with the room rate.

Great place to stay. We had wonderful modern room. We also had access to the grounds after hours and toured the buildings for free at our leisure. We walked outside the gate for dinner at a local restaurant which was a great value. Parking was nearby and no problems.

The shower was super hot, took me a while to figure out how to turn it down as it was labeled incorrectly.

One of my favourite stays of the trip. The entire space was so beautifully and minimally furnished, letting the history of the space speak for itself. The staff was amazing and so helpful and the room was super comfortable! We also loved the delicious dinner basket at 35 EUR that was provided by the onsite restaurant, a great way to experience the Michelin star kitchen in a casual and accessible way. The highlight was the essentially private access to the Abbey and the grounds after hours. It was such a memorable and special experience and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would have! Highly recommend this stay, it's one of a kind!

Everything was on point.

Oozing history and very well appointed stay. Touring the Abbey at night with no other guests was a highlight. Dinner was memorable as well.
