“Tucked away on a quiet street, this family-run hotel, with architecture harking back to the 17th century, makes a charming base for exploring Chinon. I particularly appreciate that each room possesses its own individual style, a refreshing alternative to the predictable design of chain hotels. With its courtyard garden, it's easy to unwind here, and the close proximity to the Chinon Royal Fortress and local restaurants is a definite advantage.”
