"...It was wonderful meeting you, and I appreciate your personal warmth and
gracious hospitality, plus of course your gorgeous manoir which you have so
beautifully and lovingly restored to what I am sure is far better than even
its original elegance. Also, thanks for the yummy breakfasts, and the wine,
cognac, etc., that we shared over delightful conversation. It was great fun
meeting you, chatting with you, and tasting wine with you, and we look
forward to our next visit......"
Best regards, Dick, Phoenix, AZ
"Just a quick note to thank you once again for the wonderful stay we had with
you in your beautiful home in Amboise! It truly was a great time thanks to
you! Alas, as always our stay was far too short.........."
Cheers for and keep in touch, Love from Fiona and Martin D.
, Scotland
"We are now back home in Colorado. We had a wonderful trip. Looking back,
we found our stay with you was one of the highlights. My wife still talks
of you beautiful Manoir and hospitality. Thanks again for making our trip
so enjoyable........."
Your friends Don and Nona R, Colorado
"We stayed at your beautiful Manor House last month, and we just wanted to
write to you and tell you how much we enjoyed it. We thought that your
manor house was far more interesting than Chenonceau. Your collection of
art , books, and memorabilia was fascinating. We really felt that the
highlight of our trip to the Loire was staying at your place.........."
Sincerely, Tom and Jackie B.
"Thank you again for the wonderful time at your lovely inn. The whole family
agreed that it was a perfect place to stay when visiting Chateau's and
villages of such beauty and ambiance. We got to come home in the evening to
the luxuries of your manoir! .....Take care and keep in touch.... I will be
extolling the virtues of Le Vieux Manoir to all our family and friends!"
Love to all, Barbara, Brian, Meghan, and Erin B.
"We stayed at your hotel this summer, and we very much enjoyed our stay. We
particularly enjoyed sleeping on very comfortable mattresses! Could you
please provide us the manufacturer and the phone and/or email of the
manufacturer. We need new mattresses and the first thing that we thought of
was our stay in Amboise."
Merci Beaucoup, Douglas and Joanne D.
Mark and I had a wonderful time at your lovely manor. You certainly made us feel
more at home than any other place. My friends have been duly impressed with the
photos of the rooms and the gardens and the stories of the omelets made with
Gilbert's tomatoes. Do say hello to Gilbert from his other American friends.
How are things with you? ..... Amboise was my favorite town, because of the
smallness, and the little chateau, and the friendly people. We had some great
food (fromage!!!) and company, too! Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to
hear from you soon. Yours in fromage, Susan and Mark E., Florida
We had a wonderful time with you, basking in your considerable hospitality and
enjoying your hilarious escapades. I have already recommended you to a friend
who will probably see you next summer. ....I will write you more soon. Thank you again for making our visit such a treat. It was truly as you
said "...everything everyone dreams of when they think of French countryside..."
With love ... John M., California
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful stay we had at Le Vieux Manoir.
Matt and I loved it. Your hospitality was appreciated much and it was so
nice to have someone who spoke English that we could communicate with.
I will be recommending you to anyone I know going to the Loire Valley.
Best regards, Tom F.
We easily found our new home-away-from-home, Le Vieux Manoir. It is a restored
17th-century manor house, owned by an American couple. Our host
was Gloria, an expert who loves living in France- (she attended the language institute in Amboise). They gutted and restored this house,
and it offers 7 rooms and a guest house. We love our 3rd story room- it looks out onto the traditional drive and garden with
neighboring rooftops completing the view. The decorations and furnishings are very true to the original style - and done
beautifully - it was a pleasure to explore the house.

In September we were deposited at your doorstep by our taxi driver and you were kind enough to get us to the correct address
and treating us to a good ol' coke. Yola and I appreciate and remember your thoughtfulness. We also thank you for allowing us
to take a tour of Le Vieux and though it was a short one it is to
be remembered and hope we will get the opportunity to stay in Le Vieux on our next visit to France. You have chosen a pleasant and
nice village to settle down. We enjoyed Amboise and hope next time to see more of the village and surrounding area. Two days are but
a blink. We have given out your postcard to friends, and will pass on the internet and email address as we talk to friends about France
and especially you and Le Vieux. Wishing you the best ever,
Eugenia S. and Yola S., Seattle
We are back safe and sound from our trip to France and have such
nice memories--not the least of which was our brief stay in Arnboise with you. It was really fun to meet you, stay at your lovely home and
also to chat loudly with a bunch of Americans at breakfast! ..I will spread the word to others who are headed your way. ...Again, it was
great meeting you and I sure hope to come stay in Amboise with you again--or at the very least, send some business your way.
All the best, Candy G.
Bonjour Gloria, Well we made it home. What a great
vacation we had in France. I want to thank you again for making our stay
so memorable. We enjoyed staying with you tremendously, your home is
fabulous, and your breakfasts were the best we had in France.....Marie
I.

We got back from our two week trip to France last Sunday, and it was perhaps
our nicest trip ever to Europe. We enjoyed Normandy, but the Loire was
just fabulous. In particular, we loved staying in Amboise and at Le
Vieux Manoir. We so enjoyed meeting you and chatting and laughing, and
our accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. The cleanliness
and order are commendable, and the fine breakfasts are the best start for a
great day on the road or just loafing..............
Warm regards, Steve and Peggy P., Atlanta

Thanks again for helping to make our stay in Amboise so delightful.
This morning I was complimenting Brad because I awoke to fresh brewed coffee and he said "Just like Gloria, huh?" We remember you fondly and
will recommend your gracious hospitality and beautiful home to our friends. Thanks again,
Linda and Brad
