What A Charming Hotel!

Hotel de Biencourt is a great hotel. The rooms are super nice, clean and comfortable. Each room is named after a French writer. The town is charming and this hotel is right at the center and steps away from the famous castle. The staff are super nice and friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel. Thank you, Hotel de Biencourt.

You couldn’t ask for a much better location, tucked just a few metres from the historic Chateau of Azay le Rideau. The entire community is easily walkable and there are a number of dining options nearby, from Michelin “Bib Gourmand” to steaks to crepes. The breakfast buffet features all regional products as well, with a list posted so you can get an idea where your eggs, cheese and yogurt came from that morning. (Even the coffee is locally roasted.) A neat touch.

First Class treatment

We loved our stay. The hotel is located directly in the town, literally two minutes to the chateau and a lot of great restaurants. Before we arrived we were asked if we need parking and advised of our options and we were also supplied a comprehensive list of the local restaurants. We received a warm and friendly welcome and the hotel had great safety measures in place to help you feel safe. The room over looked the patio garden and had the surprising addition of a small terrace. The room itself was well appointed with a comfortable bed and good water pressure for the shower. We are breakfast and the choice was excellent and good quality. During checkout our host was keen to see if there was any more they could do for us. We only stayed in the hotel for one night but we’d definitely return!

Charming Hotel, Helpful Hosts, Beautiful Village

The title says it all: this is a wonderfully charming hotel with very helpful hosts in the beautiful village of Azay-le-Rideau steps away from Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau. The hotel is in an old school and the hosts have themed the hotel to match. Take a look at the display case with 19th century school supplies and books. A few amazing restaurants are within a couple of blocks of the hotel, and the hosts are spot-on with their recommendations. Oh, and the breakfast is fantastic. Can't say enough good things about the Hotel de Biencourt in Azay-le-Rideau!

We enjoyed three lovely days at Hotel Biencourt. It is just steps away from Chateau Azay-le-Rideau, a short bike ride from Chateau L'isletette, and short distances from Chateau Villandry and the fortress of Chinon. We could have filled many more days in this comfortable hotel. Only negative might be the size of the bathroom, but it is well planned and worked for us.

Perfect stop over hotel in a beautiful town

Lovely hotel! We stayed in the family room and had breakfast the next morning in the inner yard. Perfect! We were able to visit the castle next door which was open until 11pm!
Do not visit the Italian on the corner of the street, despite a busy place, we felt that they were inflating prices for tourists and offering terrible food in return. The mojito was undrinkable!! We were trying to cater for a 4 year old and wished we had visited the other lovely local restaurants that most likely would have catered for her if we’d asked!!

In a pedestrian zone, so even if you have a room facing out onto the street, it's still very quiet. Comfortable clean rooms. Some open out onto an inner courtyard which has tables& chairs AND a fridge. Great place for a quiet glass of wine in the evening. Excellent breakfast,
Located only about 100 mts from the chateau.

Wonderful Hotel in a Quiet Village

I absolutely loved this hotel! The owners, Marie-Laure and Patrick, were so welcoming. Patrick's suggestion that we have a picnic at the nearby Château de l'Islette turned out to be one of my favorite stops on our trip in the Loire Valley and Burgundy. The terrace is a perfect place to enjoy some wine, cheese, and pastries in the evening.

The hotel is on a pedestrian street in a quiet village. The free parking lot is a short walk from the hotel, but you can drive your car to the door to unload (although we did not need to). There are some restaurants and shops in the village. We arrived on Sunday evening, and luckily, one restaurant was open.

The room was very comfortable. I was in a room with a double bed, and there was plenty of room for me and my stuff. Since it was May, the room was cool at night. I'm not sure how it is in the summer, though.

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone that plans to stay in the area.

Lovely in every way. The tiny town, comfy bed, great shower, darling courtyard, and breakfast all amazing. Patrick helped us with all our questions, gave us a map and suggested a walk around the town. The wine merchant down the street helped us pick a very reasonably priced local wine and the hotel gave us wine glasses to use in the courtyard. Chateau grounds free 5-6 and you can order wine and sit out in the lawn and enjoy. Breakfast all locally sourced and amazing. Parking lot close by and free. Can't say enough good.

Fantastic hotel with impeccable service

The gentleman who checked us in spoke some English, and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We were much later than we anticipated and he helped us find the hotel, then find parking and help with luggage. Our room was so clean and very comfortable for the 4 of us. The shower was also wonderful.

We had the breakfast as dos most of the hotel. We had to wait a brief moment for a table. There were carafes of coffee, hot water and hot milk, plus tea and juice. We had options of croissants, pain au chocolate,bread, jam, 3 kinds of cereal, yogurt, nuts, and oranges.

We would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely little hotel. I had a room on the first floor (one flight up), which was only hard because of the size of my suitcase. It had been hot that day, so the room was a little warmer than I would have liked it to be, with no A/C, but there was a fan at least. Good and charming facilities, nice breakfast, very nice and helpful staff.

Cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Lovely setting, lovely owner, convenient and moderately priced! Rooms are recently redone in a modern style, while the building retains nods to its past as a school. The breakfast is generous and uses many organic and local products. The owner helped us find a restaurant that could put together a vegetarian meal (not easy in France!). The little village is a treat, and the chateau at the end of the street was one of our favorites of the trip. Stay here; it's a gem.
