A great place to stay in Chinon
Pros:

Lovely independent hotel across the river from the historic town centre of Chinon. The private parking was a blessing as the town was exceptionally busy due to an event. I particularly liked the freshly made ciron juice at breakfast

Cons:

nothing

Pros:

El sitio es muy bonito y las habitaciones están genial. El personal es majisimo y el desayuno está bien (aunque un pelín carete). El sitio está cerca de chinón (en 10 min andando estás en el centro). Tiene alguna plaza de parking, pero yo aparqué en la calle, cerca, en zona sin necesidad de pago.

Assolutamente si! Lo consiglio!!!
Pros:

Abbiamo passato una sola notte come tappa del nostro percorso cicloturistico. L'accoglienza è stata subito impeccabile e ci hanno messo a disposizione un garage per il riparo delle bici. La struttura sembra nuova o ristrutturata di recente e con gran gusto. Letti comodi. Buona colazione. Un carinissimo giardino dove rilassarsi o gustare un aperitivo. A due passi dal centro .

Cons:

Niente
