Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Diderot
4 rue de Buffon, Chinon, Centre-Val de Loire, 37500, France Fodor's Choice
With its ivy-covered stone, white shutters, mansard roof, dormer windows, and rococo spiral staircase, this hotel looks like an 18th-century François Boucher painting. Inside, the guest rooms (some with original architectural features) are spacious, and, while hardly modern, come with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and plenty of closet space. A lovely breakfast laden with local products is served in the beamed dining room by a roaring fireplace in winter or on the garden terrace in summer. All in all, this is an excellent value for the money.
PROS
- parking in the courtyard or in a free lot nearby
- cozy bar and breakfast room
