The property is an old restored farmhouse with absolutely delightful touches. It is not actually in Chinon, it is outside a hamlet on the outskirts of Chinon, but it sits on a hill and the views of the castle of Chinon from the property are incredible. We stayed in a lovely 2-bed apartment by the pool, had our own outdoor area with a table for al fresco dining, and a good size kitchen inside the apartment. The place was extremely dog-friendly. The owners have dogs too and understand the needs of other dog-owners very well. Breakfast with local produce was extra but absolutely delicious. The hosts are very welcoming. I would have loved to stay longer and hope to return.

Absolutely perfect from start to end! We had a brief stop over on our way to Calais from the west France. A family run business, the hosts were great and couldn’t do enough for you. I am glad she asked us whether we would like to eat at the restaurant as the food was spectacular, as a family we agreed it was the best pizza’s we have ever had and we have had a lot! :-) the Chefs crème brûlée is another treason to return here. The property had a gorgeous traditional French rustic charm feel to it. It even impressed my 6 and 13 year old children who loved staying here. The photographs online do not do this property justice, it is an absolute hidden gem!! We will definitely be returning next year but maybe stay a few nights to enjoy the local area, which was absolutely beautiful. The owners should be proud of their achievements!

We were eventually upgraded because the head height in the double room booked was causing concern and my wife hit her head several times which is surprising as she is shorter than I am. However I had to stoop which was uncomfortable and there was only a Velux window with no easily accessible view.

It was unfortunate in the description that within all the pictures it was not mentioned the concerns above, it would have either led to less confusion or we would have found an alternative gite. We would not have had to move rooms.

Excellent accommodation for a great holiday with amazing food at the restaurant. The lovely hosts have created a very special place here and we were so glad we booked and would love to return. The apartment was perfect for our family and we all loved the pool and pretty courtyard. Nice views of Chinon and easy for enjoying the delights of this wonderful region. Best pizzas and creme brûlée - such a bonus!

Comfort, quiet, clean, lovely decoration and very nice staff (including a sweet dog). The amazing meal at the pizzeria was an added bonus. They even prepared a special pizza without gluten and lactose because one of our family members has food allergies. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights and use it as a base for seeing the castles in the area. We did not use the pool, but it looked very clean. The pizza in house was really tasty.

An unpleasant smell (probably from the old walls)when you come into the apartment. You do not smell it at all in the upper part of the accommodation, where the beds are located. So it does not really bother.

What a beautiful find only a short, safe bike ride out of town. Overlooking vineyards and the town’s chateau, we loved every part of our stay. Ourselves and our kids especially loved bike parking, breakfast and dinner at the onsite pizza restaurant. A highlight!

Best bed! Could jog into town, nearby large grocery store, refrigerator and kettle provided, two chairs to sit plus extra twin bed, pizza restaurant on site was delicious, room good size for relaxing, bathroom lighting, serene setting.

Nothing

Beautiful property, super kind hosts who were very accomodating to our dog and vegan food requirements. Also fantastic to have the resturant so you can have something to eat and drink in the evening even though you are in the middle of the beautiful wine country.

We had a lovely 2 bedroom apartment right by the pool with its own terrace and outdoor furniture - we really liked the drying rack that was provided for our swimming things. The rooms were nicely decorated and 2 large fans provided. We ate at the hotel's pizza restaurant in the evening which was fantastic. Breakfast the next morning was also wonderful and excellent value - we were stuffed! Le Bonne Note is in a great location just outside Chinon looking over vine fields towards the chateau. It's a very attractive complex and the owners are charming. We would definitely stay again!

The spiral staircase in the apartment was a little bit tricky for us as we're a very tall family and it wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues or very small children.
