オテル デ シャトー(Logis Hotel Restaurant des Chateaux)

Wonderful little secret…I was recommended this gem of a hotel on my way to Portugal. So good I am staying again on my way back and it’s in my little black book. Why? Well the accommodation is more than adequate, but it won’t bowl you over with grandeur or opulence…and it’s not trying to either. It’s comfortable, clean and understated and to be fair after the long drives to and from Portugal I want simple, efficient comfort. BUT this hotel hides a little gem inside. A wonderful French restaurant. Superbly priced, amazing food at a snip the price of most places purporting to offer real French cuisine. Have the wine flight, eat the fois gras (homemade and the best I have ever had) enjoy a seasonal dish and simply unwind in an un-pretentious, little gem just off the main drag to southern France. Special thanks to the wonderful Pillippe who with his wife run the place. As a slightly poor language student I never feel out of place and help is always at hand. Oh and it’s a pet friendly hotel for those that have furry friends. I love this place and it’s a must visit. You could even visit a chateau or two it’s so well located. Well done team, keep it up and keep your charm.

For a business trip to Tours, it’s a bit far from town. But it’s worth it. 30 min by car from the city. The restaurant at the hotel is fantastic. There are shops within walking distance and you’re in wine country. Lots of free parking. Modern facilities

We love this hotel and have stayed many times. The rooms are comfortable and air conditioned. The Food in the restaurant is varied, imaginative and quite delicious. Philippe and his wife are delightful hosts. An ideal stop if travelling from channel ports to further south.

I booked this hotel through Bring Fido as we have two dogs. I booked it for one night, then I thought would be a good place to spend 2 nights, what a mistake that was! So he has charged me for all three nights. I have spent the last two months trying to get my money back. He refuses and said I did not cancel the first room. I feel cheated by this man. The room was nice but food poor.

A second visit to this hotel which is conveniently placed to visit Azay—le-Rideau or as an overnight stop if travelling further south. On this visit we are staying for 2 nights on a special package which includes a spacious terrace room, 4 course dinner both night, breakfast both mornings, late checkout, chocolates and a bottle of sparkling wine and a visit to the very pretty château. Our meal last night was delightful and breakfast this morning gave plenty of choice. The hotel is situated close to a busy roundabout but our room was quiet and peaceful overnight. Aircon a great plus! Would recommend.

Really convenient location which was easy to find, and while close to a biggish roundabout it was incredibly quiet. The room was perfect, really comfortable bed, quiet room, didnt hear a peep all night and the shower was great. Very clean and simply appointed. Dinner was super, food was delicious. High points for us were the friendliness of everyone especially Phillipe.. He was super friendly, but not over the top. Love it when he and his team ask whether we want to communicate in French or English. Wine recommendations were excellent, particularly to get good Loire wines from someone who knows, rather than taking a guess at the wine list.

3 star is about right. The hotel was average and in a convenient if very unattractive location. Dinner was disappointing too. Nothing wrong with it but quite expensive for relatively poor food. The room was anything but ‘a superior double’ although that was what the room was supposed to be. We went to town the second night and found some excellent food in a local restaurant ’Cote Cour’ at less than the cost of dinner in the hotel. Parking was good.

Very close to Chateau Azay-le-Rideau. Excellent service.

It is not located in rural countryside, but right beside a round about. Not noisy as such, but not as described. We had a good room on the ground floor, Privilege Room. It was not large, very comfortable and clean. Modern bathroom facilities and air con. Total 120 euro. We had a good night's sleep, the restaurant was good.
