    The chambre d'hôtes was in a perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the beautiful chateaux and restaurants. The studio was very well equipped, clean and comfortable and with effective air conditioning. The building itself was charming with a games area in the caves and the garden was relaxing to wander through. Breakfast was brought to the studio and was delicious and catered for my gluten free diet. Thank you to our lovely hosts Isabela and Jerome.

    This beautiful hotel is part of the history of Azay. It is a family run property, run by lovely Isabela and her husband. The beds are super comfortable. Rooms are big and the windows open to the beautiful front yard of the property. Isabela made herself available to help with anything we needed. They offer great breakfast. We stayed here July 12-14 2025 and had two rooms. We highly recommend it. Look no further!

    Nothing - it was a great stay! We were there during the heatwave so it was very hot overnight. A fan was in the room but was still hot (but was exceptional weather - 35+ degrees).

    A fantastic stay, where the owners have put so much effort into every detail for their guests and also made it a hugely homely and comfortable environment. They were personable and hospitable and even booked our dinner at a restaurant when we’d requested (based on the recommendations provided). The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had during our stay in the Loire (all local products), their renovation of the troglodyte cave was a communal space with lots of games (pool, jenga, darts), it’s a 2 minute walk to all the restaurants, shops etc in Azay-le-Rideau, with the chateau on the doorstep, too. The rooms were very high spec and comfortable, and the chickens/rabbit/guinea pigs at the back with a lovely garden were a nice addition too.

    Perfect location in the centre of Azay. Secure parking in the grounds of the beautiful house/hotel. Our bedroom had its own access from the garden and the room was very comfortable and large. Walk in shower and the bedroom and bathroom were very well appointed. The breakfast room is amazing in the old vaults and the food was delicious. Lots of choice and a lot of thought had gone into the presentation. The young couple running this place deserve a lot of credit for their hard work in making it a lovely place to stay

    Isabella and Gerard were very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in the suite which was beautiful and very comfortable. It is well equipped for a longer stay and has an absolutely lovely sitting area looking out on the garden (and a sitting area in the garden!). Breakfast was delicious. The on-site parking is really convenient.

    This was a superb find in Azay le Rideau. Merely a few hundred metres from the Chateau, this is a delightful place to stay. The rooms are impeccable. Tastefully designed with ultra comfortable bed. The owners Isabela and Jerome can’t do enough to help you. They are incredibly welcoming and helped us book a lovely restaurant. In the morning, the very generous breakfast of locally sourced produce was a delight, especially in the troglodyte cave-style dining area. This is a place where the owners take pride in what they do and where significant attention and care has been applied to every element of your experience. I would stay here again!

    The room was huge!! A lot more space than we needed, but very comfortable. Our hostess quickly made the second bed upon arrival (I forgot to mention we needed it when I made the booking). Lounge area in the cave is very unusual -- a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner.

    Fantastic location with just a short walk into the town with its many restaurants and attractions. The room was extremely well equipped with modern decor and amenities, patio doors open out onto a secluded garden with private seating and table. The breakfast area and caves give the property a uniqueness that adds to the experience. The breakfast itself is locally sourced and very well presented. The secure parking is a bonus when travelling with a fully loaded car. It's fun to walk around the garden and check out the punky chickens and the wishing tree. Isabela and Jerome are the perfect hosts. We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Loire region.

    A wonderful private hotel, small castle with amazing scenery. Everything is created with a lot of love, passion and desire by the two young owners- a great family. Magical place, great home-made breakfast with local products. An extremely convenient starting point to many of the famous castles and notable towns Tours, Angers… You wish you never leave this paradise! We were in a fairy tale and will back again one day. Highly recommend without a doubt! Thank you soooo much dear Isabelle and Jerome!

    Everything! The cave was incredible, the location is excellent, and our room was beautiful. The large tub and complementary bath salt was a saviour to my pregnant body after touring the Loire valley for 7 days. The breakfast that was provided was incredible. Our host was very kind (I can’t remember her name, but she’s Romanian!) and we will definitely be back.
