En plein cœur du Val de Loire, le Château de Marçay est une magnifique bâtisse du XVème siècle bâti sur les ruines d'une forteresse du XIème siècle. Un cadre d'exception dans un îlot de verdure : sa piscine extérieure, son potager, son verger, ses vignes et ses truffières,... autant de trésors à découvrir dans son parc arboré de 15 hectares. Le Château et ses dépendances vous proposent 33 chambres, toutes décorées de façon traditionnelle ainsi qu'un restaurant gastronomique. Les chambres du château et de son aile sont décorées et meublées haute époque. Elles sont toutes différentes, certaines ont vue sur le parc, d'autres sur la cour d'honneur. Les chambres du " Pavillon des Vignes " occupent le rez-de-chaussée et le premier étage d'une dépendance du château. Elles sont situées face au vignoble, leur cadre indépendant et tranquille en fait un endroit très prisé des

Excellent hotel. We stayed in unit 9. Great Wi-Fi signal (probably the best we have experienced at…read moreany hotel we have stayed over the past 25 years). Clean and spacious room, especially the bathroom. Main drawback is parking. I guess that is true with most small hotels in Loire valley. But it is good that parking is free during 5pm-9am and on Sundays. There is a small public parking lot with about 7 spots opposite to the hotel lobby. Otherwise, you will need to walk for about 3 minutes. Nice chap at the front desk.

Nice hotel on the edge of Chinon's old city that I would describe as a "high end budget" European…read morehotel. The rooms are clean, and many are larger than average (such as Suite number 5 in which I stayed) with rates from 51 Euros for a standard room to 110 Euros for the large suite. Unquestionably the hosts are very friendly and helpful, and fluent in English for those who need some help with their French. Breakfast is an additional 8-9 Euros per day for a nice continental breakfast with bread, pastries, juice or coffee, and yogurt which is a good deal. Parking is available for free in two nearby public parking lots or you can park free on the street on Sundays and holidays. It's a nice hotel for the price, but misses some of the small things that I've grown accustomed to over 20 years of traveling so I'm not positive I will personally stay here again but will definitely consider it.

Out of town so don't expect to be able to stroll out of the hotel & find yourself in a buzzing area…read moreof Chinon. Rooms are small, clean & not all had baths (en suite shower room instead). Hotel has pool. Breakfast was plentiful & quite good. Supper was a little disappointing but we were late (so maybe missed out on some of the buffet ingredients) & hungry (so were prepared to eat almost anything). For a family of 4 the hotel was not ideal we were in 2 double rooms, about 4 rooms away from each other. Neither of the rooms was big enough for all of us to be in simultaneously & comfortably, so playing cards, or even having a chat was not possible! In addition, there was no communal space downstairs in the lobby where we could all sit together. There was only 1 key per room which also served as the light switch. This was annoying since it meant a complicated set of arrangements every time we wanted to do anything! Staff explained that it was the hotel policy only to issue one key. Ocassionally the cleaning staff would let us into our rooms if our timing was bad & one of us arrived back before the key holder! Possibly a security issue here since they were happy to oblige! There seemed to be minimal staffing. At meal times, the receptionist morphed into a waitress, so there was no point in trying to see the receptionist about anything then. Bright & garish decor. Bike racks right outside front door.

We stayed at this hotel, which is about three hours out of Paris. It is in a small town and the…read morestaff are fantastic. They speak English are really make you feel at home. By the way, if you cannot tell by the photos the scenery is fantastic, its like walking into beautiful garden. They also have a daily breakfast showcasing their local homemade jams and I'm not a big preserve guy, but even I thought it was great. I really recommend staying here and using it as your home base to work off, there is a lot of cool places to check out around the town.

I'd read tons of reviews about this hotel. It's a big award winner on TripAdvisor. We were not…read moredisappointed. Great and quiet location, a bit out of the way. Beautiful room. Incredible service and friendliness from the staff who speak English. Nice to have a drink on the terrace, and breakfast with zillions of homemade preserves was charming. I would love to stay here again. And Chinon is a historic village in the beautiful Loire Valley, close to many chateaux to tour.
