Delightful hotel
Great customer service. Accommodating attitudes. Breakfast was wonderful - scrambled eggs to order.
Big plus was the parking across the street in a secured court yard

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.

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.

Hotel très bien situé, chambre impeccable au charme fou. Propreté +++
Un personnel compétent et aux petits soins.
Je dispose d’un véhicule électrique et rares sont les établissements permettant une charge optimale sans encombre et cette fois je n’ai eu aucun souci. Le petit déjeuner servi dès 7:30 est copieux et de qualité. Un hôtel incontournable dans la région.

Etape au bord de l'Indre
Très bel hôtel juste au milieu de la petite commune de Azay le rideau, et à 2 pas du château. Belle demeure ancienne superbement rénovée. Avec parking privé clos.
Chambre vaste, et claire. Sanitaire impeccable. WC isolé de la salle de bain. Petit déjeuner très correct, dans une salle chaleureuse . Personnel charmant.

Superbe hôtel à côté du château
Magnifique hôtel! Extrêmement propre, chambre très spacieuse avec coin salon et beaucoup de charme. Lit et oreillers très confortables. Grande salle de bain moderne avec chauffe-serviettes. Accueil très sympathique. Extrêmement bien situé à 5 minutes de marche du château. Boulangerie, charcuterie et restos juste à côté. Je recommande fortement ❤️
