Other travellers have already explained what makes this place so lovely. I will just add that I agree and that it is a delightful place in a charming village. Definitely worth the money. More

I cannot be certain, but I reckon I’m close, that the Town of Chinon and Hotel Diderot represent exactly what the French are so proud of when they talk of their Loire Valley. The sweet aftertaste of your jam at breakfast, the warm fireplace of the family room, the secret late night entrance only used by those that know, and... More

I chose Hotel Diderot based on the experiences of other travellers here on tripadvisor, and I must say the reviews were 100% correct. Great building, warm welcome, really friendly and cosy atmosphere, very clean, delicious jams! A must repeat! More

Hotel Diderot was featured in Trip Advisor, so we sought this little cutie out. Madame et Monsieur who own and run the hotel were very accommodating and amiable. Monsieur told us about his own travelling experiences in Australia, much to our delight. Booby, the cat, reviewed visitors as to their worthiness on entree, and if so blessed, one was able... More

We stayed here in November 2011 for 2 nights, after spending time in Paris and Northern France. Looking for a true charming French countryside experience, we came across Hotel Diderot. Our stay here was the highlight of our 10 day trip throughout France. Owning a travel company, we had the opportunity to stay in a few 5 star hotels in... More

Be sure and stay in this charming town, Chinon, and Hotel Diderot when visiting the Loire Valley. Lovely family run hotel. We loved room #20 on the ground floor with our own patio area. This hotel is in a very quiet area but a short walk to the center of town. We parked in the free lot just 30 meters... More

Drive through the gate and you are in a magical garden with a fantastic feel. Many plants, flowering vines, cafe tables and a handsome old cat to lounge at your feet. We stayed 2 nights and were treated like family. The stone house is very special, ancient looking wooden beams in the breakfast room, many nooks and crannys to explore.... More

This was like a 5 star hotel.. The room was large and cozy, charming in fact. Bed was fantastic and it was a very comfortable stay. The staff were fantastic and friendly. Parking was easy. Close to the centre of the village so easy to get something to eat. But by far the highlight was the breakfast, in particular the... More

What a wonderful B&B to stay at in Chinon! Laurent and family were very attentive to our needs and were a wealth of information regarding local venues, restaurants, etc. The B&B starts the day out with a wonderful breakfast of a variety of local breads, fresh yogart, and the tasty homemade jellies(YUM!). After returning from a day of exploring, a... More
