“The reception was outstanding. We arrived early and were made to feel most welcome. The room is large, modern and lovely. Everything is first class, bedding, towels , etc. Breakfast was great and plenty of options. The hotel is a pleasant short walk from the old town centre. Parking is very limited but not an issue. There always seems to be free street parking right outside the hotel. A lovely stay all round.”
“Everything was lovely. The bathroom was a little old and didn’t have a shower curtain so the floor got very wet. But it was a lovely stay.
The room also had a bit of an overpowering smell of artificial cherry’s/berries which is fine. But just a little over powering with an artificial smell. But the room was very clean and if I was in the area I would stay here again! ”
“Property is well positioned close the river. Staff friendly and helpful. They welcome dogs, which is what attracted us in first place. Lovely walk along the river. Big car park opposite. Good restaurant with excellent food.”
“Le personnel de l’établissement est très accueillant et chaleureux. L’établissement est situé juste à côté du château de Villandry et de la voie vélo donc très pratique et facile d’accès.
Le point un peu plus négatif concerne l’état général et la vétusté de certains éléments de la chambre. ( peinture Volets, jointes de la baignoire, tapisserie.. ) ”
“Un séjour extrêmement agréable car les hôtes étaient très gentils, accueillants.
Petit dej à la carte, chambre climatisée et très calme.
Dîner excellent ; simplicité du fait maison
Une adresse à retenir.”
“Etape d'une nuit, bien situé par rapport aux visites de châteaux que nous devions effectuer entre samedi et dimanche. Nos hôtes ont été très accueillants. Le jardin est agréable, la chambre très fonctionnelle, avec de nombreuses prises et un bon éclairage. Le matelas est top, la pièce bien isolée, nous avons trop bien dormi, malgré l'absence de volet sur la porte fenêtre, mais avec le rideau occultant qui s'est avéré efficace. Rien à redire sur la propreté. Le petit-déjeuner était parfait, avec……
“This is a superb renovation of a very old Manor House. The building is absolutely spectacular as are the rooms.
The owners are extremely friendly and very welcoming. ”
“Sehr schön renovierte Zimmer und ein freundliches, engagiertes Besitzerpaar. Absolut zu empfehlen-wir waren vier Nächte da. Gut geeignet um Saumur und Umgebung zu erkunden. Liegt an einem Rond Point, Dr aber nicht stark frequentiert ist. ”
“Just brilliant. Le Grand Monarque was recommended by a friend in the UK who stays there regularly. He really did us a favour as it is a fabulous and very interesting hotel with exceptional staff (especially Natalie on Reception). The parking is great value at €7 per night and the breakfast was delicious and nicely varied. Located in the centre of the small town of Azay-le-Rideu this hotel is an absolute gem. ”
“Absolutely spectacular. We really enjoyed our time at Chateau de Candes. Bertrand and Sam went out of their way to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Running this place is not easy but the family are doing their absolute best as custodians. They are fully dedicated and committed to making Chateau de Candes a success. Merci Bertrand et Sam. We will definitely be back.”
