Royal Treatment in a Regal Hotel

The purpose of a holiday, I believe, is to get away as much as possible from distressing and stress-inducing situations. That is why whenever I'm planning to have a retreat, I want it to be as glitch-free as possible. Call me a perfectionist, but I loathe encountering even minor hitches on my travel plans. I'm not filthy rich, but sometimes, I don't mind shelling out thousands of cash if it means that I will have a pleasurable experience and a great time. That's why when a good colleague of mine invited me on a trip to Amboise, France I immediately told her that we should stay in one of those majestic chateaus that I saw over the Internet.

If you're a Cinderella or a Prince Charming wannabe, the Chateau de Pray in Amboise, France will definitely make you feel like crowned heads. At least that's what I felt when I first marched into this hotel's reception area. Even though I was wearing slack khaki pants and a T-shirt that time, I felt like I was caught in the fabulous Medieval era. Apart from the modern features like phone and Internet access, the entire room my friend and I occupied was decked in elegant Medieval-like decorations and furnishings. I had the best time in Amboise not only because of the plush accommodations the Chateau de Pray provided us, but because of the royal-like treatment we got from the warm hotel staff.
