“A truly beautiful building with a castle-like feel to it. We had a very nice room and a big breakfast (fresh bread, pastries etc.). Maud was extremely helpful and an excellent host. We enjoyed being able to rent bikes from the Manoir and cycle into the town to see the Chateau and to a nearby vineyard.”

“We loved the beautiful Manor, comfortable rooms and great location.”

“Beautiful old manor - even older than the castle (which is on walking distance and definately worth a visit!), large rooms - the family room was very big with a connected room for our 3 kids. The kids loved the swimming pool and play area, we even had a family competition 'air hockey' ;-) Also nice was the fact that we were allowed to use the guest kitchen (could be a little bit better equiped) so after a full french lunch, we just prepared ourselves a nice picknick at the manor in the evening. Azay-le-Rideau is also a beautiful small town. And we had fun canoeing on the Indre river.”

“Stayed at Manoir last year and did the same this summer: lovely place, well located for our needs, very good hosts, a nice french-style breakfast (could do with more cheese, though!).”

“Amazing old manoir dating from 1531. Felt less like a hotel - more like a guest of Alain in his beautiful home. Great pool / games room complex. Perfect location for sight seeing and a short wander into Azay-le-Rideau for incredible ice cream and good food.”

“Alain and his son were very welcoming and accommodating to us and our two year old son. We had a large room with an extra bed and a cot to choose from for our toddler. Azay-le-Rideau is a beautiful romantic village with wonderful chateau and is only a 10-15 minute walk from the property. The facilities at the manoir included a great indoor pool and games room which we enjoyed.”

“Hosts are really nice and passionate about the mansion's history.”

“Very close to the picturesque village and its Chateau, Azay Le Rideau, the Manoir de la Touche is nestled in a lush park environment. The Manoir has nothing pompous to it, but it's a very charming and historical building. Welcomed very warmly by the owner, we immediately felt comfortable and enjoyed the peaceful rest during the long drive through France, from the East boarder to the Atlantic ocean. The room was beautifully decorated and we didn't miss anything to make our stay as comfy as it can be and our sleep perfectly restful. The close by village and the surroundings are so nice, that we decided to stay a half day longer in the area than planned and we will definitely come back. We hope the Manoir and the friendly owner family will have space to accomodate us again.”

“Wonderful hospitality. It’s a small chateau with huge rooms and ambience but renovated to a very high standard with new bathrooms. It has an indoor swimming pool and billiards. They provided bicycles with helmets and there are many interesting things to do and see. The town of Azay-le -Rideau is easy walking distance with good restaurants and shops. Quiet and perfect for relaxing.”

“This is rather a unique place to stay in a superb location. Maud, Amandine and Alain are very friendly hosts. The breakfast is great. The historic house and its grounds are lovely. Very relaxing. Really nice area to visit. It was too warm for the heated pool in my view but the facilities were very good. It was very nice to be able to use the kitchen. I liked our large room up in the eaves. Good shower and much needed fan.”
