Located just below the ramparts of the Château d’Amboise in the lovely old town of Amboise, the 15-room Le Manoir Les Minimes occupies a handsome 18th-century limestone house. Though you will not find amenities such as a spa, pool or gym here, it is a perfect example of what the French call a hôtel de charme, or a gracious traditional property that exudes a profound sense of place. In short, it is exactly the sort of hotel you’d hope to find in the Loire Valley: one with a palpable sense of history, as well as impeccable contemporary comfort and warm, attentive service.
