Just brilliant. Le Grand Monarque was recommended by a friend in the UK who stays there regularly. He really did us a favour as it is a fabulous and very interesting hotel with exceptional staff (especially Natalie on Reception). The parking is great value at €7 per night and the breakfast was delicious and nicely varied. Located in the centre of the small town of Azay-le-Rideu this hotel is an absolute gem.

We stayed at Le Grand Monarque, Azay-le-Rideau for 3 nights. Everything was great: central location, large room, very quiet and they have a parking location near by. All staff at the reception was wonderful but I would like to give our special thanks to Isabelle. She was above and beyond making recommendations, booking restaurants, suggesting stores and point if interests. Thank you, Isabelle for your fantastic job!

High marks.

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.

The room was spacious and clean. Night time is quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was adequate. I prefer more fruits and vegetables. Besides a visit to the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, you can take day trips to other castles. We rented e-bikes in Amboise and rode to Château de Blois and back. Drive t, about 1 hour each way.

This is a lovely old Relais de Poste, converted into a luxurious property. Everything was great. Nice sized rooms, lobby, bar, and breakfast. A fantastic location a few minutes walk from great restaurants and the Cheap Away le Rideau. An EXCELLENT value.

Wonderful experience.

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. A+

Hôtel avec du cachet. Comme à l’habitude, je trouve dommage que le tarif du petit déjeuner (16€) n’inclut pas un jus d’orange fraîchement pressé.

10/10 Exceptional

L'hôtel bénéficie d'une situation centrale au cœur de la ville d'Azay le Rideau et d'une parfaite quiétude. Il concilie le confort actuel (ascenseur, climatisation, parking) au charme de l'ancien. Sites d'intérêt : le château tout proche, la découverte de la vallée de l'Indre sur d'agréables chemins de randonnée et de plusieurs châteaux remarquables dans les environs. Le petit déjeuner buffet est particulièrement appréciable par la qualité, la variété et l'originalité des options proposées (pâtisseries maison, charcuterie d'un traiteur réputé). Le tout dans une ambiance feutrée et relaxante
