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!

Loire Valley treat
Secluded stay was very nice. The restaurant at the hotel was better than most in the area. The sauna has to be scheduled so keep that in mind.

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.

If I could, I would give the hotel ten stars for service. It was our best service experience during our trip. The staff (especially Natalie) went out of their way to anticipate and accommodate our wishes. The dinner at the hotel restaurant was excellent and filled with tasty surprises. Also, this was one of the very few places in the Loire Valley with a full vegetarian menu. Just perfect!

The property is very well located to visit the local and impressive chateau, as well as those in surrounding towns. Success over the years has clearly enabled the family owners to expand the property and so the hotel has prominent position in the centre of the village. Facilities are great (the pool and gardens are lovely), and the tasting menu in the restaurant was excellent (perhaps the best of our 3 week trip). Breakfast is disappointingly not included in the room rate and at 24EUR is expensive. We were also frustrated that the small buffet was being cleared while we were still eating and choosing items, which left us feeling uncomfortable. Overall, it is a lovely hotel, and a good base for the local area. Some of the staff did not seem very happy, which (we feel) could be felt in the service we received, and the cost of our stay was at the top end of what we paid throughout our trip which we didn't feel matched our experience.
