What A Charming Hotel!

Hotel de Biencourt is a great hotel. The rooms are super nice, clean and comfortable. Each room is named after a French writer. The town is charming and this hotel is right at the center and steps away from the famous castle. The staff are super nice and friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel. Thank you, Hotel de Biencourt.

You couldn’t ask for a much better location, tucked just a few metres from the historic Chateau of Azay le Rideau. The entire community is easily walkable and there are a number of dining options nearby, from Michelin “Bib Gourmand” to steaks to crepes. The breakfast buffet features all regional products as well, with a list posted so you can get an idea where your eggs, cheese and yogurt came from that morning. (Even the coffee is locally roasted.) A neat touch.

First Class treatment

We loved our stay. The hotel is located directly in the town, literally two minutes to the chateau and a lot of great restaurants. Before we arrived we were asked if we need parking and advised of our options and we were also supplied a comprehensive list of the local restaurants. We received a warm and friendly welcome and the hotel had great safety measures in place to help you feel safe. The room over looked the patio garden and had the surprising addition of a small terrace. The room itself was well appointed with a comfortable bed and good water pressure for the shower. We are breakfast and the choice was excellent and good quality. During checkout our host was keen to see if there was any more they could do for us. We only stayed in the hotel for one night but we’d definitely return!

Charming Hotel, Helpful Hosts, Beautiful Village

The title says it all: this is a wonderfully charming hotel with very helpful hosts in the beautiful village of Azay-le-Rideau steps away from Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau. The hotel is in an old school and the hosts have themed the hotel to match. Take a look at the display case with 19th century school supplies and books. A few amazing restaurants are within a couple of blocks of the hotel, and the hosts are spot-on with their recommendations. Oh, and the breakfast is fantastic. Can't say enough good things about the Hotel de Biencourt in Azay-le-Rideau!

A Gem of a hotel

One of our favorite hotels of the trip. Xavier and Bruno are so kind. Sheets are crisply ironed! Beautiful terrace, breakfast was very above average with fresh pastries, breads, home made local jams and yogurts, fresh cooked eggs. Delicious! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice old hotel in a small French town. Basic room fulfilled our needs but would have liked a kettle to boil water for tea in the room. We stayed here at end of seasons and not much was open in the town with extremely limited restaurants etc.
