We had a lovely stay here on our mother daughter trip. It was very close to one of our Castle visits so we could walk there but also the town was quite quaint and charming with an old world feel but still had enough amenities as well; small bakery nearby for some morning coffee and pasteries, we could talk afternoon strolls through the town as it was very picturesque. The host of the property take great care of the grounds. Have a dog on site that is so cute and even some goats and chickens you can say hello to!

Fantastic in every way

This is the most wonderful place to stay! Super charming, wonderful and helpful staff, and most spacious and comfortable rooms. There is parking and the gate closes at night for security. The restaurant is elegant and fine dining. This was one of the best dinners we had in France. The Auberge is walking distance to Chenonceau. We will only stay here for future visits!

The hotel was very nice located in a very small and quiet town. So if you like a quiet place to stay, away from the city, this is the place for you. The staff at the hotel was excellent. When they heard we were going on a hot air balloon at sunrise on a cool morning, they offered us jackets to use. In addition, we had a problem with our rental car and they helped us translate with the car repair service person who came to help us. They really went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one.

5* hopes but 3* reality

Given the rating for the hotel we were disappointed in certain aspects. The location of the hotel we ideal to visit Chenonceaux Chateau and the pool area was excellent including hot tub/sauna. The staff were friendly & helpful. The Bistro food was good. Our suite however was poor as there was no view and the bathroom only had a handheld shower connected to the bath taps and due to the sloping rood it was not possible to stand up when showering. This was very inconvenient. The sofa bed was uncomfortable and did not have a duvet (only sheets/blanket) We met the owner when we left and she advised that we should have asked to change suites. The tariff for the above was extremely high and our experience did not justify this and we will not be staying at this hotel in the future.
