Hotels in Chinon

Positiv:: Host was extremely helpful and she and her partner had a family home that was so lovingly furnished and was immensely personal. A very clean comfortable facility Breakfast was a treat and plentiful to start the day Easy drive into Chinon which is an really nice interesting town with medieval buildings and churches Good restaurants but you need to reserve with the best Plenty of chateaux to visit Lovely views of river

Negativ:: Very small point Perhaps a little milk with the coffee /tea in room —- we British love a cuppa tea am and pm !

Positiv:: Ein kleines Paradies direkt am Fluss Vienne. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet bleiben keine Wünsche offen. Sehr freundliche Aufnahme durch Jeanne und ihren Mann. Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den Fluss ist sehr schmackhaft und abwechslungsreich.

Negativ:: Es gibt rein gar nichts zu beanstanden.

Positiv:: An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Sitting by the Vienne River having a wine. Wonderful hosts. Our suite was breathtaking with brilliant views. Breakfast was amazing.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Domaine du Heron is an outstanding character property situated within a stones throw of the Vienne river which is overlooked from the guest balcony upon which an excellent breakfast can be served. Our ‘swallow’ bedroom is spacious, well fitted with spotlessly clean bedding, comfortable double bed, 2 basket chairs and 2 dining type chairs, tea & coffee making facilities, television and ample wardrobe space ( bring your own hangers ). The separate toilet and shower rooms are small but adequate. Some guests may prefer not to hear the periodic calls from the Herons in an evening in which case perhaps the rear facing bedroom would suit but without a river view. Will definitely stay again but probably for more than just one overnight visit.

Negativ:: Lack of good quality clothes hangers in the wardrobe.

Positiv:: Herzlicher Empfang der Gastgeber und absolut aufmerksame Betreuung während unseres Aufenthaltes! Die total ruhige Lage direkt am Fluss sowie die Kirche aus fem 11. Jahrhundert im liebevoll gestalteten Garten haben uns absolut überwältigt. Das Haus ist absolut sauber und die Einrichtung bietet eine tolle Mischung aus antikem Charme und modernem Chic. Das üppig hergerichtete Frühstück mal mit Crêpe, selbstgemachter Marmelade und Gateau oder am anderen Tag mit warmem Apfelkuchen sowie täglich Ei, Schinken, Salami und O-Saft auf Wunsch war grandios. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Urlaub pur in einem idyllischen Städtchen. Tolle Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Fahrrad fahren ist top. Unbedingt das märchenhafte Chateau du Riveau mit seinen zauberhaften Gärten besuchen!

Negativ:: Es gibt absolut nichts zu bemängeln.

Positiv:: Everything! Jeanne is so kind and sweet with an amazing smile. She was so helpful and caring to us. The breakfast is outstanding and the property is better than the pictures! So peaceful and beautiful by the river. You are also just a 5min drive to Chinon. This place was amazing and I would come back for sure!

Positiv:: ALLES! In dieser Unterkunft fühlten wir uns rundum wohl. Es war als wenn man zur Familie gehört. Das gemeinsame Abendessen mit den anderen internationalen Gästen war eine Bereicherung. Wir sagen: Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt

Positiv:: Sehr familiärer, angenehmer und unkomplizierter Aufenthalt. Wenn man mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs ist, dann beachten, dass es in der Nähe kein Restaurant gibt

Positiv:: A beautiful peaceful setting, so relaxed. The room we had was superb, beautiful linen and bed. The owner was an excellent host we shared food and fruits from her garden, delicious home made jam and she prepared a beautiful meal for us in the evening.

Positiv:: From the moment we arrived the hosts made us feel special, the place is stunning and we would recommend it to anyone. We had dinner and it’s was really nice and a great selection of wines. This place is a little hidden gem.

Negativ:: That we didn’t stay longer, but we will be back.

Positiv:: Francis was a great guy Breakfasts were fantastic

Positiv:: schönes Zimmer: stilvoll, modern, hell eingerichtet; sehr netter persönlicher Empfang durch die Wirte; hervorragende Besichtigungsempfehlungen außerhalb der üblichen touristischen Pfade durch den Wirt; super Frühstück mit Marmelade und Joghurt hausgemacht; Terrasse, zentral gelegen für Burgbesichtigung

Positiv:: Das Zimmer ist sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Auf der kleinen Terrasse dazu kann man es sich richtig gemütlich machen. Innenstadtnah, aber ruhig gelegen. Der Vermieter ist sehr, sehr hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und charmant. Spricht französisch, deutsch und englisch. Es gibt an dieser Unterkunft wirklich nichts zu bemängeln. Auch das Frühstück war reichhaltig und lecker.

Positiv:: Location & comfort & breakfast was superb. Owner was very helpful and friendly

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: The owner,the city and location, the security

Positiv:: Sehr aufmerksame und sympathische Gastgeber, tolles Fruehstueck im Garten, ruhige Lage dennoch fusslaeufig zum Zentrum, sehr schoen gestaltetes Zimmer.

Positiv:: Sehr schöne, stilvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Der Hausherr spricht deutsch und war sehr engagiert. Obwohl wir zu früh waren, wurden wir gleich empfangen und umsorgt. Es gab nette Gespräche. Das Frühstück war sensationell, sehr individuell mit einigen Spezialitäten, die man sonst nicht kennt. Räder konnten im Hof untergestellt werden.

Positiv:: Great building, great breakfast in the garden and evening meal prepared by hosts. Pony ride for children, 2 nice dogs and a cat.

Positiv:: Gutes Frühstück, über das üblich Französische hinaus. Netter Pool. Schön eingerichtete Zimmer und modernes Bad. Sehr freundliche Aufnahme durch die Gastgeber.

Positiv:: Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Unser Maisonette Zimmer Les Nénuphars war der absolute Traum, riesig und auch unsere beiden Mädchen haben sich sofort wie im Märchen gefühlt. Das Frühstück war ja schon genial, aber was dann die Dame des Hauses am Abend für uns gezaubert hat war sensationell! Noch einmal ein riesiges Merci an die beiden Gastgeber, wir haben die vier Tage rundum genossen!!

Positiv:: Nette Gastgeber, schönes Gebäude, ruhige Lage im Grünen, weg von Stress und Hektik. Tolles Frühstück, frische Produkte selbst hergestellt.

Positiv:: Who doesn’t like staying in a “castle” as my kids described it. If you’re kids are happy you are happy. The owners are extremely friendly and make you fee right at home. Breakfast was great as well. Close to the beautiful town of Chinon where there’s nice restaurants. Highly recommend

Positiv:: Supernette Gastgeber, freundlich und zuvorkommend, auf das Wohl ihrer Gäste bedacht, dazu die herrliche Atmosphäre des Hauses, harmonisch restauriert und gepflegt. Entspannter Aufenthalt mit liebevoll zubereitetem (im Garten servierten) Frühstück, ein Highlight des Aufenthaltes, wie schon oft beschrieben. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Merci Mayerly.

Positiv:: Keine Klagen, es war alles OK

Positiv:: Es war alles in allem unbeschreiblich - so eine Unterkunft und solche Gastgeber suchen ihresgleichen :-) Essen, Schloss, familiäre Atmosphäre, riesiger Park, süße Tiere... alles wie im Märchen!

Negativ:: Dass wir so bald wieder abreisen mussten

Positiv:: The accommodation was just as the photos, and the owners were just as friendly as we had hoped. We were personally welcomed and shown round the property and rooms. The chateau is beautiful and is such a great location. We were so pleasantly surprised that the property is right next to the cycle lane 13km to Richelieu and 9km to Chinon and so flat and easy - was great to have this as 2 day trips out to visit these places easily. The pool at the hotel was great and there was a badminton net in the garden for the children and plenty of space to run around. We loved the 2 very friendly dogs and so did our children. The breakfast is fab, and coffee is amazing. We didn't eat an evening meal here, but spoke to people who had booked it and they said it was fantastic. We stayed in one of the family rooms which was great with plenty of room. I would definitely recommend this for a few days fun with day trips on the cycle path!

Positiv:: Excellent location to explore the Loire Valley. Great hospitality and outstanding breakfast spread. Good facilities in very stylish rooms with bags of character. I look forward to returning.

Positiv:: We loved the dogs and the lovely breakfasts with homemade yogurt, cake, pastries and jams. We loved the super clean swimming pool, character rooms with very well-fitted bathrooms. It was a atmospheric place to stay serving good local wines.

Negativ:: Didn’t prepare a vegetarian meal when asked for.

Positiv:: Beautiful building and grounds, lovely hosts, amazing breakfast and dinner. A perfect place to spend a few relaxing days.

Positiv:: Schöne Aussicht. Gutes Essen und Trinken. Frühstück, Parkplätze, WLAN... Alles okay!

Negativ:: Nichts!

Positiv:: Die Lage und die Gastronomie

Positiv:: The owner was very helpful and speaks English, great location and views.

Negativ:: The food and beer was a bit expensive, not a dedicated children’s Menu.

Positiv:: Views, all very new.

Positiv:: Lovely place to stay , scenery out of this world,food at the restaurant superb , a very dog friendly place, soul go there again.

Negativ:: Didn't like the very steep steps to the beds upstairs

Positiv:: The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a hidden gem just outside Chinon, and it has a excellent view of the valley. I strongly recommend it.

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Very nice hotel perfect for our overnight stop en route to the south of France. Room was very clean and tastefully decorated with very comfortable bed! Nice dinner at the bistro too when we arrived. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend!

Positiv:: Magnificent view from rooms. Dinner was excellent, and reasonable value. Friendly and efficient staff with more than enough English spoken. All in all, a great hotel.

Negativ:: Motel-like accommodation block, over three floors with entrances balconies at the back and well up from the main hotel. It was not a problem for us, but would not suit anybody with even minor mobility problems. But it did provide for the most wonderful views from the front (which was probably the idea). The rooms themselves were lovely.

Positiv:: Amazing views. Very hospitable and helpful host/owner. We had a nice dinner on the terrace. Rooms fully equipped as expected. Short drive away from the Loire and beautiful villages and towns, so great location.

Negativ:: We had a family room for 4. The children loved the mezzanine sleeping area, but the room was rather cramped to get all our suitcases in and allow ourselves moving freely around. We didn't mind, and it meant great value for money, but just to be aware. Offset by a nice balcony however!

Positiv:: This hotel is in a lovely location. The rooms are comfortable and the manager is a charming man. We had a family room at the top of the hotel. This has lovely views from the balcony, overlooking a large area of woodland across to the rivers. Check-in and out was easy and the manager speaks very good English if your French is a limited. The evening meal was very tasty, although a little on the expensive side when adding drinks as well.

Negativ:: The children's meal was a bit disappointing. Very small portion sizes and a little bland.

Positiv:: Welcoming and always remember us as been before Good hospitality and food

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Great location. Very good rooms and pet friendly.

Negativ:: Nothing it exceeded all expectations.

Positiv:: The whole experience

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Excellent tranquil location in a sympathetically restored ancient building. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Lovely breakfast around a communal table. We would love to return.

Positiv:: Thierry's welcome was excellent and he could not have done more for us. The room was lovely, the recommendation for dinner in a local restaurant was spot on, and breakfast as excellent. I would recommend to anyone - a lovely place to stay.

Negativ:: Nothing!

Positiv:: Fantastic room on top floor Friendly owners Great pool Authentic and genuine french

Positiv:: Thierry and Chantal are excellent hosts, we felt very welcome, superb room and breakfast, very well located to discover the beautiful landscape and castles of the loire, we travelled with 2 young kids, the place is very children friendly and with a nice secured pool.

Negativ:: Nothing actually- everything was great

Positiv:: Great house with history. We have never stayed in house like this before. It is situated in a quiet area and was once part of the Abbey. Breakfast was great and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying in this Manoir.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Nice village

Negativ:: Room in the attic was very hot and uncomfortable. There was a terrible sewer smell in the room. The owners didn't do anything to help.

Positiv:: We enjoyed our stay very much, beautiful authentic place, extremely nice hosts :), wonderful fresh french breakfast. We had everything, what we needed.

Positiv:: Die überaus netten und kinderfreundlichen Eigentümer, der Pool, die Esel Isette und Caramel. Tipp: Der Bio-Laden Le 4 Saisons direkt am Kreisverkehr nach Chinon bietet alles für die tägliche Verpflegung mit lokalen Erzeugnissen.

Negativ:: Die Küchenausstattung hätte reichlicher sein können (ein scharfes Baguette-Messer :-).

Positiv:: Wonderful family room with a huge bathroom, comfortable beds, lots of space. Nice breakfast, good sized pool and landscaped garden with different places to sit and relax. Owners were very welcoming, and nothing was too much bother. Great location for exploring Chinon and the many castles around.

Negativ:: Nothing to comment on.

Positiv:: We stayed during the August bank holiday weekend and the trip was amazing from start to finish! When we got there, the hosts pointed us to local sites we should visit and gave us restaurant recommendations. They were so delightful and it was great talking to them throughout the stay :) The actual building itself is steeped in history - it felt like a fairy-tale staying there. The breakfast outside in the garden was my favourite thing. Fresh local produce in the calm and relaxing countryside. The swimming pool was an amazing addition seeing as it was 30 degrees! We loved coming back from a day exploring the Loire Valley region and having a dip before dinner.

Negativ:: Can't think of anything - we were so happy with our visit! Thank you for having us, I hope we'll be back soon!

Positiv:: Eine alte, aber toprenovierte Abtei in absolut einmaligem Ambiente. Mit Pool. Die sehr freundlichen Eigentümer sind absolut um das Wohlbefinden der Gäste bemüht, top!! Der in unserem Fall multinationale Frühstückstisch ist ein echtes Erlebnis.

Positiv:: Sehr tolles, reichhaltiges Frühstück. Sehr persönliche und herzliche Betreuung. Individuelle, persönliche Beratung für mögliche Ausflugsziele in der näheren Umgebung.

Negativ:: Nichts.

Positiv:: Sehr freundlicher Empfang durch den symphatischen Eigentümer Pascal. Für die Kinder gibt es viel auf dem Grundstück zu entdecken, u.a. 2 Pferde auf der Weide. Das Haus hat eine spannende Geschichte und liegt auf einer (heute nur noch von Fledermäusen bewohnten) Höhle. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll renoviert und eingerichtet und alles ist sehr sauber. Zum Frühstück gab es frische Muffins und selbstgemachte Gelees plus Gitarrenmusik. Es war ein toller Abschluss unserer Frankreich-Urlaubs!

Positiv:: The breakfast was very enjoyable, the hosts were extra friendly, we tasted some local home made delicacies! The room was spacious, good quality furniture.

Negativ:: We could hear every step of other guests, above us! We could even hear them speak!

Positiv:: Sehr freundliche, sympathische, sehr hilfsbereite Unterkunftsbesitzer, die Ausflugstipps geben und sich sehr um die Gäste sorgen. Reichhaltiges Frühstück. Sehr kinderfreundlich. Sehr ruhige Lage.

Negativ:: Zimmer hatte nur ein kleines Fenster.

Positiv:: Kindness of thé owners

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Fantastic accommodation in a lovely room with a super comfy bed. Breakfast was a daily delight of pastries, baguettes and lots of good coffee. The host Pascal is very friendly and helpful with plenty of good advice for touring the Loire Valley.

Positiv:: A really lovely place to stay. Recently renovated and in very good condition. Pascal did everything he could to make us feel welcome and explain the local area. Breakfast was delicious every morning with freshly made cakes/muffins as well as fresh bread, pastries and jam. So close to Chinon for evening meals and all other attractions in the area. Thank you Suzie and Stephen.

Positiv:: All good, but we especially liked the breakfast setting and the fact that it was plain yogurt, the home made muffins & jam and the bread was good

Positiv:: It was in a beautiful setting . The Room was tasteful and comfortable. Close to chinon.Pascal and Odette were more than friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good all homemade bread and cake.Would definitely stay there again.

Positiv:: Odette und Pascal sind sehr sympathische und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Das frisch zubereitete Frühstück war sehr lecker und das große Zimmer sauber und schön.

Positiv:: Frühstück gut, Dusche super

Negativ:: Lage sehr abgelegen für Radler. Schwarze Käfer im Zimmer. Keine warme Decke.

Positiv:: Odette and Pascal were awesome hosts. It was a pleasure spending time with them. They recommended some beautiful chateaus in the close vicinty and were always helpful. The breakfast was really great and Pascal played some songs with his guitar. All in all a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

Positiv:: The property is great with a spectacular garden. We stayed there after a long day of cycling. Pool was good and the hosts nice and friendly.

Positiv:: Die Zimmer und besonders auch der Garten mit dem Pool waren sehr schön. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Positiv:: La Chancellerie will be one of the highlights of our trip and something that we'll all remember forever. The property is beautiful and our hosts were so gracious and kind. Our room was enormous. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom had been recently redone and was lovely. The breakfast they provided was delicious. One of the best croissants I've ever enjoyed. (and homemade jam), also yogurt, cereal, cheeses and meats, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. I was sad to leave.

Positiv:: An absolutely historic and charming property. Comfortable bed and remarkable breakfast with the largest croissant ever!

Negativ:: Personally I was absolutely enchanted with the place but it won't suit everyone. It's beautifully preserved 17th century ambience will make access difficult for some and also the toilet and shower in our room had been squeezed in and had to be squeezed into. For us it was a drawback well worth coping with.

Positiv:: Pool and the garden

Negativ:: Welcome,expected more about the room

Positiv:: Stunning and Historic

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Wunderbare Lage, sehr geschmackvoll restauriertes Gut mit schönem Garten.

Positiv:: The hosts were so kind, welcoming and helpful. The room was perfect. Beautiful surroundings. Safe parking. Quiet. We will definitely use this place again when we are in the area.

Positiv:: Very nice hotel in french style. Rooms big and clean. Delicious breakfasts. Great hosts.

Positiv:: The owners were very hospitable, organised a kayaking trip for us using their boats, and passed on a large amount of knowledge on the history of the region. Breakfast was lovely. And the 4 poster bed was very comfortable

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Ein Herrschaftliches Anwesen, mit einer umwerfenden Gartenanlage mit Pool und reichhaltigem Frühstück

Positiv:: The suit was incredible, we certainly enjoyed our time there. The outdoor space was great, especially the pool and the play area

Positiv:: The location was excellent

Negativ:: All was fine!!

Positiv:: Good breakfast. Excellent Staff. Very clean and comfortable. Secure cycle parking. Great location.

Positiv:: War alles gut. Keine Beanstandungen. Lag gegenüber von Chinon ,was uns einen sehr schönen Ausblick bot. Waren angenehm Überrascht von diesem schönen Ort mit Altstadt. Ist zu empfehlen.

Positiv:: The hotel is situated across the river from the main street, just 5mins walk. Some parking out front. Lovely friendly reception staff. Definitely recommend.

Positiv:: Sehr freundliche Besitzer. Parking im geschützten Innenhof. Wenige Schritte zum Fluss und einige Minuten zu Fuss ins Zentrum. Jederzeit wieder.

Negativ:: Für gehbehinderte Personen sind die steilen Treppen eine Herausforderung. Auf Vorreservation gibt es aber auch Zimmer im Parterre.

Positiv:: Light and spacious rooms

Positiv:: Have stayed here several times - basic hotel but clean, very nice staff, good location and good breakfast

Positiv:: Chinon ist fussläufig. Wir konnten leider das Schloss nicht von unserem Zimmerfenster aus sehen. Zimmer war sauber und zweckmäßig. Frühstück sehr einfach. Gastgeber freundlich und konnte ganz gut englisch

Positiv:: Super Empfehlung fürs Essen und tolles Frühstück!

Positiv:: The hotel is a very short walk from the city center and excellent restaurants. Our hosts were extremely kind, and helped us locate an excellent variety of eateries, as well as a nearby laundromat. We didn't know that we were supposed to reserve spots for breakfast ahead of time, but the hosts were very kind about accommodating us. I'm glad we were early for breakfast! The room was spacious for four travelers, with a comfortable queen bed and two twin beds.

Negativ:: Our only complaint was that the shower pan was extremely low to nonexistent, and the shower curtain only covered the shower partially, so water got all over the bathroom floor (slippery!). Otherwise, everything was great.

Positiv:: It’s quirkiness and the proprietors went over and above with help, they were very warm and welcoming.

Negativ:: Stairs a little bit of a squeeze carrying baggage.

Positiv:: We have stayed here before, so knew it would be good. Run by a very helpful and friendly couple. It is in a good location for walking into town just over the bridge. Good sized bedroom with large bathroom and very comfortable big bed. Tasty croissants for breakfast and plenty of choice. WiFi worked well and secure off road parking much appreciated. Electric fan provided as no air conditioning. No lift, but we had requested first floor !

Negativ:: Nothing - all good.

Positiv:: Beautiful home, great location, lovely garden + pool, a very sweet host and delicious breakfast!

Positiv:: Everything, Martine was lovely, thank you very much for our stay

Positiv:: This estate is a treasure & Martine is a warm, sincere, friendly woman who truly makes your stay a real pleasurable experience.

Negativ:: Pigeons pooped on our ar :( - but what are you going to do?! :)Best part of our trip to France

Positiv:: My husband and I booked our stay at Le Clos de Ligre so we would be close to the chateau region in the Loire Valley. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the country, beautiful accommodations in the amazing attic of a French country manor and enjoy the hospitality of our hostess Martine. The home was beautifully decorated, a fulfilling French petite dejuner (breakfast) and helpful information were provided. We also were able to enjoy a home cooked dinner and the company of our hostess and other guests for an entertaining evening.

Positiv:: Pool with salted water, lovely owner and lovely home.

Positiv:: Martine the host is amazing! The place is beautiful and a little bit lost in the vineyards calm and clean. We will definitely go back. Very very nice stay for friends but also couples!

Positiv:: Nice pool and very quit place. Lean back and relax under the umbrella by the pool...

Positiv:: The property is set in a rural location about 15 mins drive from the centre of Chinon, our room was clean and well equipped for most needs, the bed was very comfortable and sleep was undeterred by industrial or road traffic noise, Martine was a very good host on hand should the need arise, on our stay breakfast was served outside on the lawn in the early morning sun. We never tried the swimming pool but this was popular with other guests

Negativ:: there is not much to dislike about this hotel, some guests may find the room temperature a little cool in mid season there was supplementary heating available if required

Positiv:: Familiärere Atmosphäre mit perfekter Betreuung durch die Gastgeberfamilie. Jedes Zimmer ist perfekt eingerichtet. Der Innenhof lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die Umgebung ist perfekt für den Fahrradurlaub und der Gastgeber ist bei der Routenplanung eine kompetente Unterstützung.

Positiv:: Our room was beautiful and comfortable (on ground floor) We ate four breakfasts, two dinners, and an evening picnic on premises. All were imaginative and delicious. Our hosts, Katharina and Marcel, really know their way around a kitchen. A special treat was the on premises, historic wine cellar - interesting, unique and fun. Our hosts were fluent in English, French, Swiss/German, and I suspect other languages. Our bed was very comfortable. As in most lodgings in France, a too-warm for the season duvet (and with no top sheet) was provided, but the room also was equipped with a large poly throw that replaced the duvet and made sleeping very comfortable. This B&B is actually located in Ligre`, a small farm community just south of Chinon, which I discovered after I had decided to guest there. It's about a 10 min drive into Chinon proper. We were glad to have stuck with our choice. Most days we were out and about all day, part of the time in Chinon, so we didn't miss its attractions, or the many chateau and other sights, Chateau Villandry is the star of the show for this mutli-faceted west area of the Loire river valley.

Negativ:: See above comment on the dread duvet.

Positiv:: Thank you for offering us a lovely stay. Everything was great and hope to be back soon. Your house is wonderful and you are very, very nice hosts! P.S: and we love your beautiful dog :-)

Positiv:: The owners were lovely and very helpful. The food was good as was the location.

Positiv:: The overall ambience and the sharing of experiences with our hosts and fellow guests. Breakfasts and evening meals were made with predominantly local produce. Thank you Marcel and Katharine.

Positiv:: Das hundefreundliche Hotel bietet in unmittelbarer Nähe die Möglichkeit zu ausgedehnten Spaziergängen. Die Hotelbesitzer sprechen deutsch und geben gerne gute und ausführliche Tipps zu Sehenswürdigkeiten, Öffnungszeiten von Märkten oder Restaurants in der Umgebung etc. An ausgewählten Abenden wird ein gemeinsames Abendessen mit weiteren Hotelgästen und den Gastgebern an einer langen Tafel angeboten. Das Menü war sehr schmackhaft, der Wein ist im Preis enthalten und bei uns war die zufällig zusammengestellte Runde sehr kurzweilig.

Positiv:: We have stayed here four times over the last six years and it never disappoints.It has a lovely dining room and also a very pretty breakfast area in the pretty garden.The owners and staff are always welcoming.This hotel is such a pretty hotel situated only five minutes walk from the centre of the village square which has a selection of restaurants and a lovely atmosphere. Will be staying at this hotel again next year.

Negativ:: There is nothing to dislike about this hotel.

Positiv:: Character, style, location, staff

Negativ:: Not much.

Positiv:: Nette Inhaber und Mitarbeiter, sehr gutes Frühstück, Lage im Ort

Negativ:: Einige kleine Defekte im eigentlich schön modernisiertem Bad (lose Seifenschale etc.)

Positiv:: Sehr zentral gelegen und trotzdem ruhig und lauschig.

Positiv:: Ganz zauberhaftes Hotel sehr nettes Personal und prima Frühstück Das Hotel könnte Filmkulisse sein und wird sehr persönlich charmant von den beiden Besitzern geführt. Wir kommen wieder

Negativ:: Ein bisschen hellhörig aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau:)

Positiv:: Wunderschön dekorierte Zimmer! Sehr freundlicher Empfang! Zentral gelegen in einem sehr alten, renoviertem Gebäude. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Positiv:: Great location in Chinon

Negativ:: Staff slightly abrupt and offhand

Positiv:: Its central location, the friendly staff and the period building surrounded by flowering shrubs and trees.

Negativ:: Nothing comes to mind

Positiv:: We have stayed at the Diderot before as Chinon is a particularly quaint town and the hotels location is great for an overnight stay and local restaurants. The hotel has safe parking and is in a safe neighbourhood. Bathrooms are lovely and clean and modern, bedrooms are traditional old French style. Breakfast was very pleasant taken on the outside patio in the walled garden.

Negativ:: Bed was a little soft but we understand these are being updated.

Positiv:: Great position beautifully run and nice room but ...

Negativ:: Bed was dreadful and pillows just as bad. Time for new mattresses and the place would be ideall but for now a thumbs down until they buy some new mattresses .

Positiv:: Freundlicher Empfang, sehr gute Lage und sehr schönes Ambiente

Negativ:: Keine Klagen, alles wie beschrieben

Positiv:: The hotel met our expectations

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: We enjoy the combination of excellence , the historic setting and the informal atmosphere . all Good . Well done the Team , Patrick and Olivia Whitworth

Positiv:: Frühstück und Service war ausgezeichnet, Pool sehr schön und Abendessen im Restaurant hervorragend.

Negativ:: Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und benötigen eine Renovierung, zumindest unser Zimmer. Eine Dame am Empfang war eher etwas unmotiviert, die Servicekräfte im Restaurant und beim Frühstück waren dagegen super und sehr freundlich. Insgesamt war es sehr schön ruhig.

Positiv:: Stunning building lovely room

Negativ:: Check in at 4pm, bar was not open until 6pm - tea or coffee was also not available during this time, poor mini bar stock and no tea or coffee machine in room - not acceptable bearing in mind supposed top class chateau and room price paid.

Positiv:: It was quaint.

Negativ:: Poor menu choice. Poor Wi-fi. No makings allowed in the room. Bar was very poor with little choice.

Negativ:: We thought the breakfast was under par for a 4 star hotel

Positiv:: Super Alleinlage des Chateau. Personal sehr freundlich. Restaurant und Frühstück ausgezeichnet.

Negativ:: Einrichtung im Zimmer etwas abgenutzt. Dusche/WC renovierungsbedürftig. Aber man ist halt in einem alten Chateau!

Positiv:: The old feeling of a historic Château. Very quiet location.

Negativ:: I found breakfast disappointing. Cereal had no taste and bread didn’t have a fresh taste that you expect in France. Saying that many of the breakfast we had on this trip were similar. We had a very big bedroom with a big bathroom on one side and WC on the other with a tiny door to squeeze through. Lots of walking in the night

Positiv:: Lovely room. Beautiful views

Negativ:: The menu was very limited

Positiv:: The chatueau is lovely and has all amenities including a pool and tennis courts. The staff is amazing and works very hard to please. They arranged for two private day tours for us; they were great.

Negativ:: Would have been nice to have a simple lunch and dinner instead of only a multi-course meal at dinner. But this is a minor issue and only a suggestion.

Positiv:: Beautiful Château, nice salon. Good breakfast, spacious room with a comfortable bed.

Negativ:: The restaurant was smart and service attentive, but the meal was disappointing and quite expensive. The decoration in the main building was tired

Positiv:: Nice breakfast. Very peaceful.

Negativ:: The WiFi was not very good. Could do with a high up shower attachment in the bath.

Positiv:: It's a remarkable looking place, and wonderful to watch all of the birds such as swifts nesting within the walls and playing above. Quite a relaxed pace within.

Negativ:: Restaurant was not great at keeping up with service. The situation was exacerbated (apparently) by the sudden influx of guests presenting themselves for dinner. Nevertheless I could see several tables not even being kept hydrated for a long time. The manager seemed to accept this and it was suggested to him that guests are at least kept apprised of delays and looked after while they waited during possible similar events in future.

Positiv:: Tolles Bett, sehr bequem. Super Restaurant und klasse Frühstück. Ein toller Aufenthalt. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Positiv:: The staff were very friendly and nice. Quiet, scenic place. Huge fireplace in the room

Negativ:: There was no air conditioning, only a fan

Positiv:: It was a lovely location and as we were travelling with our dog it was prefect for walking him.

Negativ:: Nothing not to like.

Positiv:: Quite location

Negativ:: Booked hotel mainly because of pictures of restaurant and food they advertised. After booking we received email that their restaurant was full and they can’t fit an extra 2 people in. As we couldn’t cancel our booking ( was non refundable ) had to drive to the nearest town witch is 6km away . Disappointed, however food in Chinon was excellent .

Positiv:: The bed was comfortable and the room a decent size.

Negativ:: They didn’t clean our room and made out that it was our fault for leaving the ‘please clean the room’ hanger on the door! We were in room 21 which had a terrace over which room 22 had to pass (right next to our window) to get to their door. The decor is all very dark and dated and there was an odd, not very pleasant smell in the corridor throughout our stay.

Positiv:: Silent and comfortable room in an old mansion, part of a large domain, 10 minutes by car to Chinon medieval town.

Negativ:: There was no fridge in the room and we were there during the biggest heatwave the region has ever encountered over the last 40 years.

Positiv:: Bedding clean Good location to drive to chinon to eat . 10 mins away .

Negativ:: Smell of damp in the hallway

Positiv:: The property was charming and peaceful, and our room was spatious. Breakfast was good, and enjoyed on the restaurant terrace. The location is great, and the staff friendly and helpful

Negativ:: Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for the holidays when we stayed, and the restaurant in the village was not open in the evening, so we had to hop back in the car to get a meal

Positiv:: Ein charmantes Ambiente und man ist bemüht die Einrichtung entsprechend zu gestalten. Das Frühstück war gut und im Restaurant stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Unser Zimmer war mehr Suite als Doppelzimmer!

Negativ:: Dies ist ein so schönes Hotel, leider bestuhlt man die lauschige Terasse mit Plastikmöbeln, ein Stilbruch der leicht behoben werden könnte!

Positiv:: Dass man gratis Fahrräder ausleihen darf

Positiv:: Das Manoir de la Giraudière ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Es hat mehrere Zimmer mit Aussensitzplätzen. Das Personal ist nett und hilfsbereit. Es hat auch ein gutes Restaurant, Reservation empfehlenswert!

Negativ:: Man hört die Geräusche aus den anderen Zimmern gut.

Positiv:: The hotel and grounds were lovely. The bedroom was spacious. The bed linen was really nice and the bed was very comfortable. It was generally quiet.

Negativ:: The building was old and a bit creaky which meant you were disturbed by people in other rooms/on other floors walking around. The restaurant was fully booked when we got there so it was a 3 mile trip to Chinon for dinner as there is nothing else in the vicinity.

Positiv:: Pool was great after the long bike ride.

Positiv:: Pool and spacious apartment

Positiv:: Great location, good but basic facilities.Helpful staff.

Negativ:: no basic cleaning items or bin bag or loo roll provided, despite kitchen facilities and a dishwasher in apartment. have to clean own apartment prior to leaving which is then inspected - really? alternative is to pay them an extra 68 euros.

Positiv:: The girl in the reception was extremely helpful. We had an issue w our luggage unrelated to the hotel and still she stayed over hours to help us solve it by making phone calls etc. Also our room was very clean and comfortable

Positiv:: Die Ferienwohnung war neuwertig eingerichtet. Großer Balkon Separates WC

Negativ:: Frühstück hätte etwas reichhaltiger sein können. Nur französische Fernsehsender.

Positiv:: Really good location. Lovely views on the Chinon Fortress. Lots of activities and visits to do with the kids. We really enjoyed our stay.

Positiv:: Excellent location with a view to the Fortresse de Chinon from our apartment. Within walking distance of the town centre. Apartment was comfortable with outside terrace.

Negativ:: Pool was not open during our visit.

Positiv:: Good location. check out was quick and easy. parking was truely free and available.

Negativ:: bathroom was not spotless clean. i had to pick the hair drier from the lobby, it was not in the room. bed was smaller than regular 160x200 cm double bed.

Positiv:: The staff was very helpful. Chinon was a neat small town with lots of shops and restaurants!! Very good location, we could walk everywhere. The room was more than we expected. It was very roomy. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us.

Negativ:: It was not easy to find.

Positiv:: The accommodation was perfect for us as a family. We had a great stay. The pool was spot on for the children .

Positiv:: Für ein Apartment sehr gut ausgestattet

Positiv:: Good value for money. Well stocked-up kitchenette. Very comfortable and cozy rooms. Fuss-free check in even though we visited on a weekend. Check out was also delightful. Staff on site were warm and courteous.

Negativ:: Our room lacked a hair dryer. It might have been available on request at the reception but we checked in on a Sunday so there wasn't anyone we could ask.

Positiv:: Great breakfast, nice view of the main square

Positiv:: Great location Friendly & helpful staff Air Con Modern breakfast room & good buffet style breakfast

Negativ:: Secure hotel garage parking for motorcycles chargeable at €7.00 per day Please check layout before using. You will understand why I have put this comment !

Positiv:: Breakfast was excellent. Location was good . Had secure garage for our motorcycles.

Negativ:: Rooms could be a little bigger. But not a problem.

Positiv:: Die Lage des Hotels

Negativ:: Die Matratze war sehr schlecht, sie war durchgelegen und musste dringend erneuert werden. Nicht gefallen haben mir die Möbel aus Plastik.

Positiv:: Excellent location in centre of town with easy access to parking - paying - and cafes, restaurants etc. Large, comfortable room - a suite - with large bath etc.

Negativ:: Old building - understandably as it is in centre of old town - with difficult passages and stairs for luggage etc. No help forthcoming from staff who were, in the main, pretty uncommunicative. The rooms are expensive.

Positiv:: Helpful staff and easy parking in a public car park a few yards away through an arch. Interesting old building with private terracing. We had a lovely breakfast. The management had thoughtfully provided a fan as we stayed during a hot spell of weather

Negativ:: We paid for a basic room however it was tiny ! It was difficult to squeeze round the bed to the bathroom and the bathroom door only just opened without hitting the bed. We were very pleased that we had a fan as the room was in the attic and very, very hot during the night however unfortunately it took up what little floorspace we had! To give you an idea of the size of the room, it was smaller than the Ibis that we stayed in …. and that had air con …. for about half this price. If you want to stay here go for the bigger room.

Positiv:: The room was very comfortable and in the perfect location. I really enjoyed the breakfast because they offered a variety of fresh foods.

Negativ:: They did not offer good decaf coffee.

Positiv:: - unkompliziertes Check-In - Platz für das Fahrrad in der Garage - hübsch eingerichtetes, kleines Einzelzimmer mit Schreibtischchen und einer Sitzgelegenheit - passwortfreies WiFi - reichhaltiges Frühstück mit div Brotsorten, hausgemachten div.

Negativ:: nichts!

Positiv:: The room was very good almost like a one bed flat. Had a kettle and fridge

Negativ:: Nothing really

Positiv:: Beautiful period furnishings- large room, excellent location for walking to restaurants , free parking overnight ... lovely city , didn’t charge extra for our medium size dog . Friendly English speaking staff and lovely atmosphere... Extra bonus : very efficient in room Air conditioner unit ....!!!!

Negativ:: Like many old buildings there is no lift and the shower grout could do with some updating .... as well as the older odd shaped tub .

Positiv:: My mum was with us she struggles with steps and they found her a delightful garden room

Positiv:: Comfy bed, good albeit basic facilities. Great location a few minutes walk from centre of Chinon.

Negativ:: WiFi didn’t work in our room (no.33). We didn’t really need it though.

Positiv:: Wonderful staff made our stay very enjoyable. Breakfast was available for a reasonable price. They also had laundry available on site.

Positiv:: Great breakfast - really wide choice . Very friendly proprietors. Nice sitting out area

Negativ:: Room slightly tired (eg old fashioned carpet) but bit a big deal.

Positiv:: Very friendly host and complimentary refreshment after arriving on our bikes. Building has character, air con in room.

Positiv:: Grosszügige schöne Zimmer, freundlicher Empfang, gute Lage, Klimaanlage, feines Morgenbuffet

Negativ:: -

Positiv:: Good location, reasonable value for the price, breakfast acceptable but not very exciting. Staff pleasant and service was adequate. Limited private parking but helpful if like us you have a lot of items in the car which would have been cumbersome to carry to the room from public parking. Otherwise plentiful free parking close by.

Negativ:: Room right next door to an air conditioning generator so quite noisy all night. Poor quality Wi-fi in the room. Air con in the room not great so the room was too hot at night. Room was somewhat tired and not well lit.

Positiv:: Lovely breakfast with spanking fresh croissants and bread and everythig you could want to eat. Great welcome from the proprietors who were extremely helpful. Very comfy bed. Everything worked.

Negativ:: It didn't bother us but there is no lift and the antique stairs are a bit challenging. We'd specify a first-floor room next time.

Positiv:: The bed was comfortable and that is always important to me, having fibromyalgia. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Quite secure parking.

Negativ:: The power plug was under the desk in a difficult spot to access as an older person and I needed to charge my e devices. Our room was on the second floor up narrow, winding, steep stairs.

Negativ:: No curtains to cut out light. En suite very tired. Like the rest of the hotel.

Positiv:: The parking lot and location.

Negativ:: The Belle Epoque is anything but "belle". Room was extremely small, no elevator and stairs are very narrow and steep.

Positiv:: It was clean and the staff were pleasant.

Negativ:: There was no toilet roll in the room. Tea and coffee making facilities would have been nice.

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Private, abgesperrte Parkplätze im Hof. Zu Fuß 10min vom Stadtkern

Negativ:: Sehr enge Treppe zu den Zimmern. Sauberkeit des Bades nicht zufriedenstellend. Kleines Zimmer

Positiv:: Good location - 10 minutes walk from centre of Chinon. Good secure car park handy for car full of holiday things in transit.

Positiv:: Very helpful hosts, cafe on site, spacious room(by comparison with similar hotels) and good secure bike storage..

Negativ:: 15 min walk to "Old" town, earlier access to rooms would have been nice.

Positiv:: The hotel is close to the railway station. The room was small but had everything we needed for a quick stay. The staff were great and looked after our luggage until we were ready to get the train. The room and bathroom were clean.

Negativ:: The beds could have been more comfortable. The street is noisy with motorbikes going past late into the night. The breakfast was a little too simple for the price and because it is only a small hotel some of the less popular breakfast items (ham) were not as fresh as they could have been. The hotel is a little far from the centre of town with its sights and restaurants. The hotel is in the modern part of town rather than in the romantic medieval old streets in the centre. We paid double the standard price shown on the back of the room door. The room was hot so a ceiling fan would have been better than the noisy small fan.

Positiv:: Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
