Chambre d'Hotes Les Machetières — Hotel in Chinon

If you travel by car visiting Loire Valley , and the Castles of Loire, "Le Machetieres" is a perfect place to stay.

We could not believe how quiet it was at Les Machetieres. We will...

From the moment we arrived Amelie made us feel welcome. She is an excellent host and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was well appointed, very comfortable and the whole ropey had very relaxing vibe. We chose to eat in and Amelie provided us a fantastic 4 course meal, just delicious, and a great bottle of local wine. Breakfast was equally delicious. The property was a little remote which suited us as it was in a very scenic rural location that'd be perfect for walks and cycling. We'd love to go back and sample the area for a few days in...
