Azay-le-Rideau is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance château, a dreamy fairy-tale-like building that is surrounded by a moat and lovely gardens. The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau was built in the 16th century by a wealthy financier. The design of this stately château was greatly influenced by Italian architecture. The most notable features on the ground floor are the rib-vaulted kitchen and the dining room with a richly decorated chimney and numerous tapestries. Sumptuous Renaissance furniture and paintings decorate the reception rooms. In the town of Azay-le-Rideau, there is an interesting church, the Eglise Saint-Symphorien, that blends Romanesque and Gothic styles. The facade of the south aisle reveals remains of Carolingian reliefs. In the nearby Château of Saché, the famous author Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote some of his novels. The room where Balzac worked has been preserved as it was.

"A l’extérieur on entend beaucoup l’autoroute. Le gîte , la piscine et le jardin manque beaucoup d’entretien."

"Great location in a fascinating area with so much of interest to see and do. Just the right distance from the main town with a great walking route in."

"Bei unserer Ankunft sind wir herzlich begrüßt worden. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und ist ideal für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern. Es verfügt über 2 Terrassen und an kühleren Tagen kann gern der Kamin benutzt werden. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut: Küche, Wohnzimmer, Bad und Schlafzimmer bieten alles für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigen Wohngebiet; in das Zentrum sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß....

"Relaxing"

"Us, son daughter in law grandson and sister ages from 10 months to 62. This was the perfect place from which to explore the Loire Valley. Bruno and Valerie are perfect hosts and the gites have everything you could want. Highly recommended "

"Unique opportunity to stay in a Troglodyte. View is worth the climb. Easily found parking. Great location - used as base to tour the Loire valley. Would stay again if we return to the area."

"Lovely gite really good , a lovely quiet place to stay . Bertrand our host was very welcoming even showing us the caves in the garden. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very good we had a lot of rain , but we still enjoyed our stay."

"Patricia and Didier made us very welcome and are clearly proud of the gite they have created and rightly so. We could not fault a thing, spotlessly clean, and the property had everything you could possibly need for a comfy stay, even mozzy coils! We really loved the apple juice made from their own apples, nothing you can buy comes close. The garden is charming, lots of space for lounging, herbs to pick for cooking and we were able to take ripe cherries from their tree. There is plenty to do in...

"Very clean, tastefully decorated and a joy to stay in."

"A lovely trip to cycle and walk, with some excellent visits to the local area. We particularly liked the terrace provision at gite. The hosts were excellent, very warm and welcoming."

"Séjour très agréable, le logement est charmant, niché au milieu des vignes, un lieu calme, propice à la détente. Le logement était propre, avec tout le confort souhaité. Je reviendrais avec plaisir pour visiter tout ce que je n'ai pas pu voir"

"Tynihouse très sympas. Ambiances parfaite. Le séjour a été agréable. Je recommande."

"This guest house is on a beautiful property. The guest house has plenty of space - 2 primary floors and a loft. There is a beautiful outdoor area and the pool can be used by guests. The owners and property manager are all extremely kind, hospitable and welcoming. The owners actually provided a bottle of bubbles as a welcome gift! Finally, the location is really convenient - 2 km from Villandry, less than 1 km to the main part of Savonnieres and within a 10 minute drive to the highway. Overall,...

"The communication with the host before and during the stay was great. The property itself is quite big, comfortable and well equipped. It’s great value for money and set in lovely countryside."

"I must say that our stay at The Sonnay Castle Lodge was superb. The Lodge is stunningly designed with amazing facilities and the host is incredibly present with nothing being too much. The setting is beautiful and peaceful with every amenity catered for. I would recommend this place to stay every time for all. "

"Beautiful house with all that you could possibly want on holiday. Perfect for our little dog. As the weather was not great the underfloor heating was a bonus. Would definitely book again. Fabulous area. "
