Le Prieure is a charming manor house hotel dating from the 12th and 16th centuries in Chenehutte-les-Tuffeaux close to Saumur in the Loire Valley. The hotel looks out over the River Loire and its islands and in the distance is King Rene's 15th-century fairy tale castle dominating this pastoral scene and the medieval town of Saumur. Gleaming white, Le Prieure has a stately presence with its vast chimneys and imposing towers as it stands proudly within its 62-acre wooded park that extends down to the river. Close to both Saumur and Gennes, Le Prieure is ideally placed to visit the many Loire chateaux.

The interiors of Le Prieure have a spacious grandeur with a wonderful spiral staircase, great carved fireplaces, canopied beds and antique furniture. The hotel has 15 cottages, three suites and 18 rooms, some with a terrace or balcony. The restaurant at Le Prieure boasts a creative cuisine in the finest culinary tradition of Angers. The area is famous for its mushrooms that come from the nearby Tufa caves; salmon, perch and eel from the river; and excellent local wines: Saumur, Anjou, Layon and Champigny, a delightful methode champenoise. This is the place to stay for anyone on a gastronomic Tour de France.
