We have stayed at the Diderot a number of times over the years. Mainly as a stop over enroute. It is very well located in the middle of Chinon and there is limited parking next to the hotel. The breakfast is just right with fresh bread and their home made jams. It was all as good as ever and a very pleasant stay.

Hôtel calme mais un peu vieillot. Parking privé fermé à 20 h c’est un peu dommage de ne pas avoir d’accès. Petit déjeuner correct mais un peu cher par rapport à ce qui est proposé.

Une fois que l’on sait qu’il n’y a ni Clim, ni restaurant ni ascenseur il, on donne à cet hôtel la note maximale — disons 9,9 p, parce que 10/10 est du domaine de la métaphysique . Charmé, bar très sympa avec quelques snacks appréciés, un personnel d’exception, un parking protégé, au RdC un jardin fleuri charmant et des chambres incroyablement accueillantes. On rêve de revenir un jour! Merci!
