We stayed here for seven nights in Sept., 2011. Located in the town of Chenonceau, this French country inn with surrounding gardens, an inground pool and abundant parking was centrally located to many area chateaus. The magnificent Chenonceaux chateau was only an 8 minute walk from the inn. We have never stayed in such a comfortable, clean, and efficient lodging as this. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The service and gourmet food was without comparison. We felt like royalty. The Jeudi family deserves accolades for this gem.

We spent one night here on a tour of the Loire Valley. We chose the hotel because of Tripadvisor reviews and because it is in the Michelin guide. We wanted a hotel where we could eat a good meal in the evening.

The service was excellent throughout - from check in to check out. Our room was lovely - enormous, clean, very comfortable bed, huge bathroom fully supplied with toiletries, room well soundproofed although the air conditioning didn't seem to work as well as we had hoped (even though it was October it was warm!). Good wi-fi (get access codes from reception), nice bar, great location.

Our meal in the restaurant was superb and the highlight of our visit to the Loire. However you absolutely would need to book your table when reserving your room as the restaurant was full. We splashed out and had the 85 Euro menu and did not regret it...the pigeon was just perfection..the restaurant is very big so I am amazed at the quality of the food and service. The only grumble would be that we were offered mineral water (rather than a carafe of tap water) which we accepted knowing it would be expensive but it was totally over-priced at 7 Euros a bottle. That is a shame as it looks like taking advantage.

We didn't take breakfast in the morning because we were still full from the night before.

Overall an excellent place to stay and we will definitely return.

We spent just 1 night at the Auberge during a weekend visit to the Loire and it was a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived until the moment we checked out, we had extremely personal service that let us savor every moment of our visit.

Traveling with a two and a half year old is not easy, and some hotels recoil in horror when you arrive -- but not here. The staff at the Auberge accommodated our advance request for a bathroom large enough for a crib and also provided us with a baby monitor so we could eat our dinner after he went to sleep and keep an ear out for him -- but not only this, they also offered to keep the monitor at the reception and listen themselves!

In a very personal tough throughout the stay, we were never asked to sign anything -- at the bar, at the restaurant, at reception -- we got the sense that the staff knew who we were and wanted us to enjoy ourselves. This was greatly appreciated.

Finally, the food was fantastic -- we easily spent much more on our dinner than on the room -- and it was worth it. A number of amuse bouches, soups, pre-deserts, delicious bread, not to mention the entrees, main courses and wonderful cheese course. We left stuffed and happy.

I would highly recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed two nights here and dined in the restaurant on both of them. Accommodation was lovely, the garden and pool were just what was needed on a hot afternoon and the restaurant really was faultless. Can't wait to return.
