Just brilliant. Le Grand Monarque was recommended by a friend in the UK who stays there regularly. He really did us a favour as it is a fabulous and very interesting hotel with exceptional staff (especially Natalie on Reception). The parking is great value at €7 per night and the breakfast was delicious and nicely varied. Located in the centre of the small town of Azay-le-Rideu this hotel is an absolute gem.

This is a lovely old Relais de Poste, converted into a luxurious property. Everything was great. Nice sized rooms, lobby, bar, and breakfast. A fantastic location a few minutes walk from great restaurants and the Cheap Away le Rideau. An EXCELLENT value.

High marks.

A lovely stay, and the staff could not possibly be nicer or more helpful. This is a historic property that forms its own compound in the heart of the pleasant village of Azay-le-Rideau. The hotel is a short walk from one of the most splendid of the Loire chateaux, and is aso centrally located for daytrips throughout the region. Our room was large and comfortable, if a bit sparsely furnished. The bathroom was quite new, modern, and well-fitted out. We'd happily have stayed longer.

Hotel très bien situé, chambre impeccable au charme fou. Propreté +++ Un personnel compétent et aux petits soins. Je dispose d’un véhicule électrique et rares sont les établissements permettant une charge optimale sans encombre et cette fois je n’ai eu aucun souci. Le petit déjeuner servi dès 7:30 est copieux et de qualité. Un hôtel incontournable dans la région.
