  : Lovely location and hotel very clean and well kept and we had a bath.. bonus..!! We only stayed for an overnight and wish we had stayed longer to explore the area and the grounds. Hotel was very historic and definitely worth a visit. The reception has local wines to purchase, try the local Chenonceaux red. The receptionist stayed around as we were late arriving so big Thankyou.
  : Maybe kettle or some drink facilities in the room, but not desperate.

  : Security, charm, private parking. Pleasant hostess.
  : No non-dairy milk/soya milk option offered at breakfast to my daughter despite me messaging the property at the time of making my booking and advising that she was dairy free. This would be a very good option to offer guests.Swimming pool not available during our stay.Having only a curtain between the bedroom and bathroom was not very agreeable. A door would improve the experience.

  : Large clean room. Secure parking
  : Dining room closed permanently. Breakfast fine but not up to the standard of other hotels of similar price. However plenty of restaurants within 150m.No coffee making facilities in room.Hotel shut until 4pm.Property very dated and grounds neglected -hotel signage faded .Hotel slap bang on main road and 30m from active railway line.

  : The fact that the owner cancelling our otherwise non-refundable stay gave us the AMAZING chance to not stay in small & boring Chenonceaux overnight! Instead for just $10 more we stayed at a 3 star classy Logis hotel with extremely delicious famous restaurants by Amboise Station in this Amboise City that is MUCH more interesting and beautiful & exciting! Were so LUCKY to visit there Leonardo Da Vinci's real house, seeing his real bed, plus the Royal Castle, Loire valley Balloon Ride, what an amazing change of travel, something to really talk about! This all just because the arrogant owner of Renauderie cancelled our stay 3 hours before check in, because they got angry that we asked them to keep our bag & Birthday cake in their storage until we come to check in 3 hours later. Outrageous but good for us!!
  : Please don't think that La Renauderie is a HOTEL. It is not even an Airbnb. Usually in such places you can come few hours earlier than the check in time and drop off your bag, so that you can freehandedly stroll the city and take your pictures until returning to the official check in time. So usually you can do that in 99% of lodgings in the entire world, you could even use their restroom and sit in the lobby, charge your phone, everything without actually checking in. Well, that is NOT possible here. The place has no guests, to the point that they don't even bother opening the entrance door before 4pm, the check in time. Outrageous, you might think, and so did we, and we called the owner leaving a message that we are in front of the gate and only wish to drop off the small luggage. Finally a poor staffer appeared saying that he can't take the bag because of COVID !! In June 2023 when the whole world is open, La Renauderie uses the old Covid reason to keep doors shut and no service to clients! Hearing that, we told to the staff that we won't be able to give La Renauderie a Good Rating and he said THAT'S OK!! So, with La Renauderie's approval, this is indeed a BAD review. Not only that the staff refused to take our bag and birthday cake and we had to walk the city with them melting down in 30 Celsius but worse is yet to come! The staff of La Renauderie sent us to the local Tourist Office to have them store our cake & bag. Which we did, go there however the Office doesn't do Storage! They were so shocked with the request that in the end they did store our Birthday cake there and bag, out of pity for us! And they called the owner! Who, started screaming over the phone, insulting everyone and saying they REFUSE to have us overnight there today!! Just like that, they cancelled the non-cancellable booking on us RIGHT THERE! Outrageous?? And how!
