Breakfast was excellent and loads of choices Maurice was very helpful making recommendations and booking dinner reservations The room was very comfortable, quiet and appointed with lovely bed linens Maurice was a perfect host and there was no detail he hadn’t thought about We loved our stay and will recommend to friends and would gladly stay again! I forgot some toiletries and Maurice found us and brought them to me! That was huge and above the call of duty!

I can’t think of anything to change

Beautiful property with stunning rooms. Breakfast was amazing. We will definitely return for another stay.

Maurice is a great host. He made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Our room (Claude) was a "suite". A large room with comfortable bed, sitting area, desk and wardrobe. The room led into a spacious bathroom with a claw foot tub and large shower. Breakfast was exceptional. A choice of eggs, quiche, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, juices and a wide assortment of baked goods. The coissants were delecious. The location of the property was ideal- easy access to restaurants, shops, the Fortress Royal (highly recommend) and the river. Chinon is a beautiful Medieval Town and was a highlight of our trip.

Lovely renovated historic house in the centre of the village of Chinon. Every room individually decorated. Fantastic breakfast at a communal table in the dining room. Maurice the host was a very helpful and friendly host.

The property is right where you want to be - within the "walled city" of Chinon and with easy access to the streets, shops, and restaurants in the area. Additionally, it is an easy walk over to the stairs or the elevator to take you up to the fortress, which is definitely worth a visit. Remarkably, even though it is in the heart of the "city," it was relatively quiet in the evening and the night air was fantastic - so leave your windows open! The room we stayed in was tastefully decorated and was a nice balance between the "old and the new." The rooms are off a narrow winding staircase which adds to the experience but keep that in mind if you have issues with steep stairs. Finally, the spread for breakfast is fantastic, and Maurice (the innkeeper) takes great pride in providing excellent personalized service. If you are a fan of fresh baked breads and pastries, along with quiche and fresh fruits, you are in for a treat!

Parking and initially locating the property can be a bit of a challenge, so once you find the place and a parking spot - STAY IN IT. Try to avoid using your car -which frankly you shouldn't need, and walk everywhere. Maurice will provide you a parking pass so keep your eyes open for a spot at the end of the street before it turns into a pedestrian walkway. Also - as much as you'd like to - the innkeeper asks for you to not take pictures so be warned.

Lovely stay at this beautiful property! Location was perfect just a short walk from where we parked by the river. Our room was large, nicely decorated with separate bathroom that was beautiful. The dining room where breakfast is served, is huge with a table that seats at least 14! The pictures on the website are accurate. The owner put out a lovely spread for breakfast. It is a great place to stay and it has been nicely restored. The owner of the house is very nice and extremly helpful. We will definitely stay there again.

We stayed on the 3rd floor and carrying luggage up the circular staircase was a bit challenging but manageable.

A beautiful and meticulously restored building steeped in history ( C13/14/15) with its stone/wooden spiral staircase. We had a tastefully appointed and spacious bedroom with a quality bathroom. Situated beneath the chateau in a semi-pedestrianised area (garage space available on request) Hosted by a charming. humorous and totally dedicated dynamo who is passionate about his role. Maurice could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is all home produced (apart from the bread) and to describe it as sumptuous would be a total understatement. A jewel of a stay. A la prochaine!

I am not sure where to start as every aspect of our stay was absolutely delightful! Chinon is the most gorgeous town and Le Relais Maurice is a little gem ideally situated below the fortress. Our host was so nice, so attentive and helpful with a fantastic sense of humour. Breakfast was delicious, lots of different dishes to sample, homemade jams and croissants, freshly made pancakes, various cakes and cooked breakfast, an amazing selection. The room was beautiful and spacious, the bed extremely comfy, the property immaculately clean, fantastic!

Nothing to dislike, it’s perfect!

Everything! This is one of our favorite stays during our two week tour of Normandy and the Loire Valley. Unfortunately I can't share pictures because of the host's strict ban on photography. But this place was gorgeous, straight out of a design magazine. Bed was comfortable, bathroom amazing, everything meticulously clean and spacious. View of the chateau from our room and ideal location with easy walkability to the chateau, wine caves, and adorable old town. Best breakfast we had during our entire trip to France. Many cafes nearby- highly recommend Les Saveurs d'Italie- literally the best pasta I've ever had. Host was very kind. There are two parking spots available but we were scared of the narrow cobblestone streets so we parked on street nearby. Also extremely affordable.

Nothing- highly recommend. If you have the opportunity, STAY HERE!

The location, the decor of the house, the rooms and the breakfast are the best. But the owner Maurice was the one who exceeded all expectations. Kind, attentive, helpful and always concerned with meeting all our needs. The decor of the house and the rooms are exactly as they appear on the website. In addition, what is not shown are all the little details of convenience that a guest expects to find for their comfort, such as a closet with drawers to store clothes, a bathroom with all kinds of amenities that a person could think of, want or need.

Nothing at all.
