    The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed both the food and the ambiance of the breakfast rooms. There was enough variety in the foods to satisfy everyone in our party of four. The staff here is amazing. The hotel is small and they do a great job accommodating guests. There is a wonderful courtyard that is ideal for relaxing at any time. Room was small but with very comfortable beds and very clean. I would stay there any time again and again!

    The Rive Sud is a beautiful family-run bed & breakfast in walking distance to the charming little town of Chinon. It is located near the bike route "la Loire à Vélo". All rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. We could leave our bicycles in safe shelter on the premises. Breakfast is lovely with homemade yogurt, fresh bread and viennoiseries. Rudy and Mathieu are very nice and happy to help finding a good restaurant nearby. They did everything to make our stay an unforgettable experience - thank you so much for your hospitality!

    Parking in the street, some spots reserved for the hotel guests, although hotel description implies the on-site parking. I had no problem finding space but it may be difficult during the busy day.

    Friendly staff, modern, comfortable room, breakfast OK, good starting point to explore the town- just short walk over the river to reach the old town centre. Internet worked fine.

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    Everything was excellent. The location is perfect. A short walk into the beautifully serene Chinon. The welcome we received was so lovely after our long drive and the accommodation is superb. The garden has been created with such love and attention. The breakfast was delicious. Cannot fault this delightful gem.

    Thank you so much for the hotel manager that suggested upgrading to the junior suit - it was perfect! Freshly renovated big suit with a/c, comfortable bed and all new facilities. The breakfast was incredible. Amazing staff. Can't imagine better stay

    Nothing. This is an absolutely perfect play to stay and we hope that we will have another opportunity to visit the Hotel Rive Sud.

    We were upgraded from a Junior suite to the premium room. The room was only recently finished and has everything that you could want for your stay. Excellent decor, very comfortable bed and linens, very clean shower room, as well as a bath. Also quiet and effective air conditioning. The owner provided us with a cheese and meat tray, which we ate along with a glass of beer, in the beautiful and calm courtyard, instead of going back into town for dinner. The hotel is just a few minutes walk to the historical center of Chinon, but is located across the river and in a very quiet neighborhood. The breakfast was buffet style, and delicious (home made yogurt), and we were able to sit either in the dining room or outside in the garden.

    There was nothing not to like. Rudy and Mathieu were excellent hosts, so caring and considerate. They helped with restaurant reservations and local sightseeing recommendations. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of local fresh produce.

    Great location, just a pleasant walk over the bridge and river to Chinon town centre .
