Seriously wonderful. Clean, inviting, and helpful staff. While it doesn't have all the frills and amenities of a resort, this is easy to recommend in a town like chinon. Charming and simply delightful.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great decor, wonderful owners who were extremely helpful and also of great cheer. Great location and wonderfully maintained, especially considering that it was new in the 1400's. The room was clean, neat and actually had sheets and a blanket rather than the usual smothering comforter that pins one to the mattress that is ever present in Europe.

A small but very nice and clean room. The shower was perfect as well as the firm bed, and the French country design of the room was charming.
