18th century mansion with rooms decorated in an antique style
View of the Loire or the château? You'll be amazed! The decorator of this 18th-century mansion, listed as a historic monument, drew inspiration from the muffled atmosphere of the period. Take a moment to admire the sumptuous staircase crowned by a trompe-l'œil ceiling designed by Percier and Fontaine, architects to Emperor Napoleon I. The rooms are also decorated in an antique spirit, with five of them featuring Louis XVI, Restoration or Empire decor. The hearty breakfast is very satisfying.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Saumur. Couldn't get the electric chargers to work without lots of effort. Lovely room and great service.

Stayed one night at the hotel. It is a kind of historical building so it has some old charm to it. It is right across from the river and around 5-7mins walk to the main area with restaurants and shops.
The staff are very nice and attentive. We got one of the back-facing rooms which have an incredible view of the castle up on the hill behind. The rooms are nicely appointed and have nice bathrooms, but I don't understand the choice of the rubber/foam type patterned tiling for the floors. It would be easy clean up but it totally throws the vibe off, they really should have wooden or carpeted floors to feel nicer.
The breakfast is great and the dinning area is very nice. There is a very pretty outside terrace in the back for having a drink from the bar or just sitting around.
Our main issue came to the package we got which included massage, sauna and jaccuzzi. The massage was nice (a little soft for my wife though) and sauna was nice and clean. The jaccuzzi was a bit of an issue because firstly it is not enclosed in any way, it is open air, right next to the pool so there is no privacy (not romantic). Secondly, you are supposed to book and pay for it, but that is not well indicated to people at the pool, there is just a small easy to miss sign stuck to a pole. So we had the awkward situation where we were booked to use the jaccuzzi at a certain time and when we got there a woman and her 2 small children were in there and we had to tell them that actually we had booked it. She hadn't realized this of course and they kindly got out, but then we were in the jaccuzzi with all the guests at the pool glaring at us for presumably kicking a woman and her little kids out of the jaccuzzi. So I think really this setup doesn't work very well. It would be much better if the enclosed the jaccuzzi somehow or just not bother with the private booking thing.
Another small issue was, it was a hot day, so we left the windows open during the day. Later we closed the windows, turned on the aircon and went out for dinner. When we came back there were a lot of little mosquitoes or flies in one ceiling corner near a light above the desk where the drinks and such are. I went down and got insect spray to kill them. The lady at the desk seemed to be aware of this issue. It is probably a seasonal issue, not really sure how to solve it other than leaving the windows closed (maybe staff can forewarn about that). But then you can't experience the whole view as well, so it is tough.
Overall nice experience though, just a few details that could be worked on.

The location is excellent and it is an easy and short walk to shops, cafes and restaurants.
The hotel is a lovely converted period historic building in a lovely setting with gardens and a small pool.
We particularly liked our lovely, large and sumptuously decorated room that had a minibar and tea coffee making items and it also had a large modern bathroom with walk in shower.
We enjoyed use of the pool and having breakfast and evening cocktails in the lovely garden area.
I would highly recommend the Hotel Anne D’Anjou for anyone visiting the Loire Valley.
