Everything! Jeanne is so kind and sweet with an amazing smile. She was so helpful and caring to us. The breakfast is outstanding and the property is better than the pictures! So peaceful and beautiful by the river. You are also just a 5min drive to Chinon. This place was amazing and I would come back for sure!

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.

This 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.

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

unless you really like walking then you need a car. This is not a negative as we knew where we were staying before booking but 5km to nearest town (Chinon) and no chance of local cabs.

Lack of good quality clothes hangers in the wardrobe.
Domaine 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.
