“Romantic and charming...”

We stayed here for a night earlier this month. Overflowing with flowers and greenery, the hotel is lovely, charming, and romantic. The staff is very cordial and helpful and gave us good information about Chenonceau. We had hoped to have dinner at the restaurant onsite, but we weren't sure what time we would arrive, so we didn't make a reservation. We'll fix that mistake on our next stay. The staff suggested a great nearby alternative. Breakfast in the morning was tasty, and we enjoyed it. Our room was beyond comfortable, with a luxe bathroom and bedding. We truly enjoyed our stay, and we will be back.

“Great hotel in lovely part of France”

Lovely hotel with very attentive staff. Comfortable room. The bistro food was excellent and the waiting staff were very good. Great pool facility. Happy to recommend this for a stay of a couple of nights. ------------------------------

“1 night stay with dinner”

We stayed for one night with our dog, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. A lovely young lady at reception greeted us and showed us to our room, which was located in a small building within the hotel grounds.

We stayed for one night with our dog, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. A lovely young lady at reception greeted us and showed us to our room, which was located in a small building within the hotel grounds. The room was spacious, featuring both a bath and a separate shower, along with a nice coffee machine. Before our stay, the hotel messaged us to ask if we’d like to book a table in the restaurant for dinner, which we did—and we’re so glad! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a main and dessert (plus the best cheese board I’ve ever seen), but the meal didn’t stop there. They also treated us to oysters, a small entrée, an amuse-bouche of broth before the main course, and a delightful selection of chocolates, nougat, and other delicacies to finish. The restaurant staff were friendly and efficient, and when it came to choosing wine from their extensive menu, we happily accepted their recommendation, which was perfect. Although we didn’t have time for breakfast the next morning, one of the staff kindly filled our thermos flasks with coffee for the road. We would definitely stay here again!

“Luxe French country inn”

I'm kind of torn between rating this place 4 or 5 stars. We did an 11 day trip across France, and stayed at four very different properties. This was the most out of the way one, and is truly a luxe French country inn kind of vibe. Before we arrived I had read the service described as a bit "stiff."… lisää

I'm kind of torn between rating this place 4 or 5 stars. We did an 11 day trip across France, and stayed at four very different properties. This was the most out of the way one, and is truly a luxe French country inn kind of vibe. Before we arrived I had read the service described as a bit "stiff." I would not disagree. Very efficient though. We had reservations for dinner there one night, and asked for some to be made during the second night of our stay as well. Glad we did, because it is a very small town, with minimal dining options. Also, we were not aware of the two different dinner experiences offered at the hotel. There is a really high end "Gastronomique" choice, as well as a more casual bistro. We weren't quite prepared for the first night, but it was wonderful. They let us switch to the bistro the next night, which was still in the same room for some reason. Our bedroom was a little rustic, but the other members of our party really enjoyed their lodging. I think it was just us, but things really fell into place on day two. We had some very friendly servers, and got to enjoy their lovely grounds. A beautiful pool/sauna area, and a gorgeous private garden/petting zoo type deal. It is a wonderful property and area within walking distance to the Château de Chenonceau, but it is very French. I don't want to sound like a dumb American tourist when I say that, but just learn a few key French phrases (as you should), be polite and enjoy.
