Les 3 Roses, guest rooms with spa in Anjouin
Les 3 Roses is a guest house in Anjouin, in Centre-Val de Loire, surrounded by a well-kept garden. It offers rooms with a sitting area, a wellness space with hammam and hot tub, an outdoor pool and a table d'hôtes. I see it for a relaxed weekend for two or a quiet stop on the road.

Where Les 3 Roses is and how to get there
Les 3 Roses is a guest house at La Marnière, in Anjouin, in Centre-Val de Loire. You are in the middle of the countryside, in the heart of a garden, far from the bustle of the towns. That is exactly what most people come here for.
To get there, plan on a car. Tours Val de Loire airport is listed at 119 km, and nothing in the information I have mentions public transport. On site, though, you can set off walking straight from the house, as one couple describes in their review.
What the rooms and wellness area are like
The rooms at Les 3 Roses in Anjouin have a sitting corner, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with shower and bath, with toiletries provided. Some go further with a spa bath. Several guests speak of very good-quality bedding and nicely finished decor.
The real plus of this guest house is the wellness side. Here is what it offers.
- The spa. A hammam and a hot tub. One review mentions a spa corner set up in the conservatory, with a view over the garden.
- The pool. Outdoors, enjoyed in the garden when the weather allows.
- The common room. It has a ping-pong table, handy for an evening with friends.
There is also a terrace and a friendly bar for unwinding at the end of the day.
What guests take away from their stay
A 5 out of 5 on Google, from 26 reviews, already says a lot. The reviews I read keep returning to the same points, and they are all positive.
- Welcome. Almost everyone speaks of warm hosts, attentive to every need, both available and discreet.
- Meals. Dinner and breakfast come up again and again, with fresh, local, homemade food. One visitor even advises leaving the meal to the husband, who will spoil you.
- Calm. Several guests describe a peaceful place, clean and comfortable, ideal for switching off.
- The house. The exposed stone, the garden and the decor are much liked.
What to know before booking
I found no negative reviews, which is rare. Keep in mind, though, that 26 reviews is a modest sample, and some are more than a year old. Here is what to know before you book.
| What appeals | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Calm, garden and wellness space | The isolated countryside makes a car almost essential |
| Very warm welcome and home-cooked meals | It is a small, personal guest house, not a big hotel with all its services |
| Well-kept rooms and good-quality bedding | Only some rooms have a spa bath, so check by room |
| Outdoor pool | It depends on the season, quite simply |
Who this guest house is for
I would choose Les 3 Roses for a relaxing weekend for two, or for a stop more generous than a single night on the road. One visitor writes that they almost regret not staying longer, and I understand why, with the spa, the garden and the table.
A couple who want to unwind, friends who enjoy good food, or a business traveller who wants a softer setting than an out-of-town hotel. If you are looking for restaurants and shops within walking distance, however, this is not the right place. Here you stay at home, and that is the point.
What to do around Anjouin
Around Anjouin, nature and châteaux set the programme. Walks can start right from the house, fishing is mentioned nearby, and Valençay castle is listed at 23 km. One visitor also went to see Cheverny castle during their weekend.
My advice is to plan a day for a château or a walk, then come back early to enjoy the hammam before dinner. It is a rhythm that suits the spirit of the house.
