The Rive Sud is a beautiful family-run bed & breakfast in walking distance to the charming little town of Chinon. It is located near the bike route "la Loire à Vélo". All rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. We could leave our bicycles in safe shelter on the premises. Breakfast is lovely with homemade yogurt, fresh bread and viennoiseries. Rudy and Mathieu are very nice and happy to help finding a good restaurant nearby. They did everything to make our stay an unforgettable experience - thank you so much for your hospitality!

Chinon is easily walkable from the river up to the castle/fortress ruins on small streets that are still used in the daily lives of its’ residents. Although old, it is lively and offers many restaurants and shops for any needs you may have. Rather a charming, old city.

The Royal Palace was excellent, with a lot of history.
The Royal Palace was excellent, with a lot of history. The old town was very picturesque with some excellent restaurants. A lot of climbing although there is a lift from the lower town to the fortress. A good range of shops, cafes and bars.

Chinon has the feel of a village.
Chinon has the feel of a village. It is not that small, but there is a sense of security and ample access to food, wine, and services all reached on foot. There is no need to use a car in town. The weekly market is vey large and we easily reached it on foot even though is was near the opposite end of the town from our apartment. The climb (many steps) to the fortress is well worth the effort but there is also a free elevator provided by the town. If you want to comprehend how nice it is, visit busy Saumur which is full of traffic, stop lights, priorité a droit, steep roads, and noise.

Architecture (limestone) unchanged for centuries, elsewhere...
Architecture (limestone) unchanged for centuries, elsewhere troglodyte constructions. Historic castle. Numerous restaurants (especially Hotel de la Paix). Easy access to other Chateaux de la Loire, great atmosphere.
The place is incredible! An old farm house and two spacious rooms in a 15th century atmosphere. Amazing place . The owners are so nice. They give you the feeling you are special and have the best recommendations. we really loved them. Breakfast is homey and tasty and certainly not like a regular continental breakfast. I recommend this place to everyone who visits the Loire valley and wants to feel the atmosphere of agricultural life with aristocratic history. I’m sure I’ll go back if I ever visit the valley again
The location is particularly good for exploring Chinon on foot and as a bonus is directly opposite the river. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and our room was in a small private courtyard a few metres from the main building, which we particularly liked. Breakfast was good, bread and croissants, etc, in the main building with various additional options available and as much tea and coffee as you want. We would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone we knew.
Forget about looking for a chateau-hotel when you come to the Loire valley. This place offers a much better experience, you will really feel like you traveled back in time and are treated like royalty. The host is an amazing person and he promptly answered to all our needs. The location is great, close to Chinon fortress in a nice area with a quiet courtyard terrace where you can serve the breakfast or sip your glass of great Chinon wine.
Beautiful garden and outside spaces. Easy parking outside the gate. Quirky decorating touches. Close to the Château, the excellent boulangerie and wine tasting. Handy for Chinon ( there's a lift down to the old town), Well stocked, small kitchen. Smelt lovely! Plenty to do for 3 days. We really liked it so the few comments 'didn't like' are only small things.
Great location literally in the middle of the old town in beautiful Chinon, under the fortress. Parking directly outside (payable between 9-12 and 14-19h, hood rates). Really well laid out apartment with oven, hob, microwave and toaster. Free laundry in the cellar of the building.
A large, spacious property situated within a short walk from the lovely town of Chinon. Everything we needed was provided. It was great to be able to use the bikes; it is an exceptional area for cycling and visiting the many, magnificent chateaux in the area.
Nice old, perfectly renovated building. Best breakfast I had in France. Location in the begining of pedestrian street. No problem with parking. 15 min for free by the hotel and information provided about were to park for the night.
The host, Maurice, was charming and very helpful. The accommodations were unique and comfortable. Historic setting and renovation. Excellent breakfast. I would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Chinon.
The welcome was extremely warm and staff was helpful. I was so impressed with how well-kept and cared-for the hotel was. Breakfast was unusually good as well. Overall, I felt it was a tremendous value for money.
We loved our stay at Nature & Chateau. The apartment was in the centre of Chinon, easy walk to everything. Lovely views of the medieval town from all windows. Very clean and comfortable
Great Location
