Lock in a great price for Domaine du Héron – rated 9.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

Amazing property by the river and very friendly, elegant host. Excellent location.

Cemil, Turkey

Probably the best stay of the fortnight. Fabulous room, views and the breakfast was amazing. We did see a heron from the window.

Jane, United Kingdom

Tranquil setting. Helpful and attentive hostess. Large room with a very comfortable bed. Amazing breakfast. Beautiful setting on the River yet only a short drive to Chinon.

Rachelle, Australia

A wonderful place to stay large room tastefully decorated to match the elagance of the building. We also had a lovely breakfast that set us up for our on going travels. Highly recommended.

John, United Kingdom

The location is peaceful with wonderful views along the river. It is a short distance from Chinon, 10 minutes drive, and a good place to visit other tourist attractions from. Our host made us feel very welcome and the room was spotless. Our breakfasts were excellent and there are now tea and coffee facilities in the room. Wished we had stayed longer!

Stephen, United Kingdom

Everything! We expected a bit of peace and quiet and we got total tranquility. Huge comfortable room looking out over the river Vienne. Lovely old house with a terrace that is a perfect place for a drink or for breakfast. Madame is helpfulness personified. You could not ask for more. I hope we will have a chance to return someday.

Susan, Australia

The setting, river views and walks, breakfast on the terrace watching for herons from whence it gets its name. A great experience all round, hope to stay again. Chinon in easy reach, a beautiful and historic town ( Joan of Arc and all that)

Tom, United Kingdom

Everything was amazing- from the welcome to eating our picnic dinner on the terasse, to the comfortable rooms, nice breakfast, everything was perfect!

Patricia, United Kingdom

The room and its facilities were excellent, with a superb view.

Janet, United Kingdom

The friendliness of our host, Jan. The river and church beside the property were beautiful. The parking was in their large, safe courtyard. Jan made us dinner reservations in nearby Chinon (4 kilometers away) at Les Annes 30, which was our best meal in France and very reasonable. Breakfast was included and delicious. We awoke to the aroma of baking crepes.

Fantastic location. Absolutely charming and most helpful hostess. So kind of her to invite us to have our evening picnic on her terrace - she set a table for us and offered glasses, plates, whatever we would want. Brilliant, comfortable and most restful stay. The view of the Vienne from the room and the terrace was wonderful and it's so tranquil. Saw a heron fishing. Definitely go again.
