Le Relais Chenonceaux

Perfect hotel near classic chateau

This little hotel is a gem. Right in the middle of the small village of Chenonceaux, 3 minutes' walk from the railway station and 5 minutes from the chateau, it is remarkably well placed. For anyone travelling by train it could not be better, and there are plenty of trains on the Tours to Bourges line. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and the food original and tasty. Try the fillet of sandre ~ exemplary! We were told to try the house wines, the opposite of the usual persuasion to buy the dearer types.
We (a middle-aged couple) had a little room with perfect facilities, while my aged mother-in-law was given, on request, a room in the annexe on the ground floor.
I would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive lodging in the fabulous Cher valley, close to many of the chateaux of the Cher and Loire.

Unique Quality: The hotel is tucked away from the main road down an alley, which means that there is hardly any traffic noise. The windows of our room looked over the alley, but were not overlooked by any other window.
