We always get a wonderful welcome when we return to Domaine du Heron, it is a must stay on our travels through Loire region. The property is beautifully appointed and the views of the river are stunning. The breakfasts are excellent always home cooked. We look forward to returning again.
United KingdomThis place was the highlight of our trup to the Loire Valley. Great hosts who really couldn't do enough for us and as for those breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the river - just amazing ! I would really recommend this place.
JerseyHost was extremely helpful and she and her partner had a family home that was so lovingly furnished and was immensely personal. A very clean comfortable facility Breakfast was a treat and plentiful to start the day Easy drive into Chinon which is an really nice interesting town with medieval buildings and churches Good restaurants but you need to reserve with the best Plenty of chateaux to visit Lovely views of river
United KingdomThe rooms were large and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
AustraliaSpacious suite in a lovely setting. Spotlessly clean, good host excellent breakfast.
United KingdomThe hosts, the location and the facilities were great. Breakfast was excellent in variety and quality.
United KingdomGood breakfast. Excellent host. Safe and secure. Perfect location.
United KingdomDomaine du Heron is an outstanding character property situated within a stones throw of the Vienne river which is overlooked from the guest balcony upon which an excellent breakfast can be served. Our ‘swallow’ bedroom is spacious, well fitted with spotlessly clean bedding, comfortable double bed, 2 basket chairs and 2 dining type chairs, tea & coffee making facilities, television and ample wardrobe space ( bring your own hangers ). The separate toilet and shower rooms are small but adequate. Some guests may prefer not to hear the periodic calls from the Herons in an evening in which case perhaps the rear facing bedroom would suit but without a river view. Will definitely stay again but probably for more than just one overnight visit.
United KingdomAn absolutely wonderful place to stay. Sitting by the Vienne River having a wine. Wonderful hosts. Our suite was breathtaking with brilliant views. Breakfast was amazing.
AustraliaAmazing property by the river and very friendly, elegant host. Excellent location.

Host Information
C'est dans une petite ruelle chargée de petites histoires qui court vers la vienne que l'on découvre la propriété familiale,noble maison de maître de 1850 . L'atmosphère des lieux est si romantique que notre esprit vagabonde en surplombant la rivière et en écoutant le chuchotement des oiseaux . Le regard se pose sur le coeur de l'église du XI siècle où Jeanne D'Arc est venu lors de sa visite à Chinon pour voir le roi Charles VII et majestueusement elle se dresse dans le jardin clos de la propriété . Ici, la pierre de tuffe règne en maître et éclaire les façades La demeure à la douceur exquise des petits matins de campagne , le contemporain associé aux mobiliers d'époque lui donnent une douce tonalité ,partout des détails amusants . La chambre on la quitte le matin avec nostalgie ... pour la retrouver le soir avec bonheur . la terrasse éclairée par le lever du soleil nous fait profiter d'un petit déjeuner en extérieur face à la rivière et la douce ondulation de la végétation ,accompagné par le chant de nombreux oiseaux et du majestueux Héron cendré . les soirées , en attendant le coucher de soleil qui illumine le Château de Chinon ... "la douceur de vivre Tourangelle ".
Rivière , petit village de caractère qui vie au fil de l'eau (la vienne) aux portes de Chinon et au coeur de la vallée de la loire, des principaux châteaux , des vignes. Le site est classé au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco depuis novembre 2000

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
