Very nice and quiet location close to the centre of Azay le Rideau. Excellent breakfast. Our room (cave suite) was very cosy (but hotter than we had expected). Fortunately there was air conditioning.

The price for the room itself was a bit too high. We skipped the daily room service but would have appreciated an offer of eg fresh towels or a refill of coffee capsules/water. We found the small charge for bath towels a bit strange considering the high rate for the room. What we really missed was a shower next to the pool. The water quality of the pool was accordingly suboptimal and two of the three of us had digestive problems afterwards.

Interesting to stay in a cave room as it was a new experience. The lighting was good. It was clean & quiet and warm. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to our dog. The bed linen was lovely and clean. There were facilities available, for example outside seating and swimming, but the weather was too poor to use them. I think it would be a very pleasant summer venue.

There was only one chair for two people. The bed sagged in the middle. The shower head was hanging without a stand to place it in, which made it awkward to handle. Breakfast was good quality but we felt it was overpriced at €14 each. We were charged €24 for our little dog without prior notice, which seemed excessive as he is short haired and very small.

The room was about as cool as I had expected it to be, and I had pretty high expectations. :) The breakfast was surprisingly good too- both the selection of food, and the cool atmosphere in a cave. It was nice to be able walk into town. Also convenient for excursious to many other towns in the Loire Valley.

Nothing comes to mind

I found I had a day in between Gites rentals where I needed a hotel and booked here not knowing what to expect. What I found was a magical location of this cave hotel built into the side of a mountain. Absolutely gorgeous location in the country, but a short drive to the nearest village. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The soundproof shades gave me one of the best nights of rest that I had my whole trip. I didn’t get a cave room this time, but would love to return another time and try one of those.Troglododo you are wonderful!

I didn’t like having to leave. I will be back.

Full of charm and character with lovely pool and not a long walk to restaurants. Cave bedroom suit (Grand Troglo) was great. Alain was a charming host and even brought us a cold beer on arrival after a hot day on motorcycle.

The bedding felt a little damp but we were in a cave after all. Pool access by steep steps will be fine for most but it’s maybe not the place for the less mobile.

- very well decorated and equipped room - very nice and helpful staffs - nice breakfast - great environment around, super comfortable

- I prefer carpet or wooden floor more than stone floor, but this is only my personal preference, stone floor is a good match with the nature of the accommodation

The hotel is very charming and in a very good and quiet location. It is clean and has everything you need. The weather was not on our side so couldn't enjoy the outdoor spaces provided but they looked very nice.

Unfortunately it is a little humid in the rooms, being a cave like structure and probably due to the weather conditions.

This is a charming place to stay. It is run by a lovely helpful friendly family. They were really nice people. Staying in a cave was great fun. Very comfortable. The swimming pool was a delight - great temperature and good to be able to relax after a day out. It was a very relaxing place to stay. We liked sitting outside our cave having an evening drink. It was easy to walk to the Chateau. Highly recommended.

All the staff were very happy and approachable. Our room was amazing. We were in the suite, dug out of the rocks:it was very large and a real one off! We were able to use the swimming pool and time of night or day which was so great for when we came back from town at night and before breakfast. It was a pleasant 20 minute walk into town.

It is obvious there are many improvements and extra rooms being built causing some of the grounds to appear close to a building site, but all the finished areas are lovely. We were Azay on a Monday and in the evening it was dead. We couldn’t find any restaurant open!

The hotel is small and intimate, set on a lovely hillside overlooking a valley and trees , just a 15 min walk to the lovely town of Azay Le Rideaux , down quiet roads . Our room had its private patio area with a little rattan sofa and a table, chairs and parasol for lunches etc . Our room was large with a separate dressing area and large bathroom too - our room was not a cave room and had a rustic French theme to it . Thete was also a fridge , kettle, coffee and tea in the room too .The air conditioning unit did a really good job of keeping the room cool also. There was also metal shutters to draw down to keep the heat out on two of the windows which was really useful . There was also a flat screen TV . The pool is a delightful find , just down some steps with plenty of sunbeds with really thick , comfortable seat pads which were great . There were a number of parasols too . There are stone steps to walk down into the pool which are helpful . Breakfast was in one of the cave rooms which was really unusual and interetesting with a really array of food - eggs to boil , cold meat platters , cheese platters , French bread , toast , pancakes , lots of fruit , juices , freshly made coffee and tea available as well as a fridge of cold water .There were also various cakes available and different jams too - so lots of choice all in all . Alain the proprietor speaks English as well as French and was very helpful . There is onsite parking and a lift down to the main hotel area too . The location was quiet and peaceful, with bird song and the odd car down below which was a lovely rest after the busy days of travelling about to Châteauxs and markets .

Nothing - I would definitely go back . There isn’t a bar onsite but wine by the bottle is for sale - all rooms seem to have their own patio and table area . Apparently food is available in the room if you want it but we ate out most of the time anyway .
