A charming old house with a lovely garden patio right outside my door. It’s a short work to the Vienne river. The room is nice. Bath only, no shower.

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at the Diderot a number of times over the years. Mainly as a stop over enroute. It is very well located in the middle of Chinon and there is limited parking next to the hotel. The breakfast is just right with fresh bread and their home made jams. It was all as good as ever and a very pleasant stay.

Le site est très joli. Dépaysement total. Petit déjeuner très frais. Excellentes confitures, pain et brioches toutefois il serait sympa d’avoir des œufs pour les gens qui ne peuvent manger trop de sucre. Fromage de chèvre très bon mais l’offre pourrait être un peu plus large.
