A lovely stay, and the staff could not possibly be nicer or more helpful. This is a historic property that forms its own compound in the heart of the pleasant village of Azay-le-Rideau. The hotel is a short walk from one of the most splendid of the Loire chateaux, and is aso centrally located for daytrips throughout the region. Our room was large and comfortable, if a bit sparsely furnished. The bathroom was quite new, modern, and well-fitted out. We'd happily have stayed longer. ##### Jerome Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frances 14 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel for a one night stopover in a beautiful lication ##### Frances Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rita 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Service.

I’m not usually compelled to leave reviews for goods and services I use but this place was so cool. It’s in the center of this amazing little midlevel town and a renovated 18th century manor but with all the comforts of a new hotel. They did a great job preserving the history while modernizing. Room and furniture was emasculate and the air conditioning was superb. The staff were very attentive, professional, and helpful. Breakfast and dining area were great! Highly recommend this place.
