Gaec Denechaud Winery

Superb accommodation. Beautifully considered mix of the old and the new. I have stayed her a number of times and LOVE it. The greatest pleasure was to have sole access to the whole Abbaye when the public left. MAGICAL. The erastuiarant is also very special.

We chose a hotel within walking distance of Saumur and it was so convenient for all amenities although we were visiting on Sunday and Monday when everywhere is closed. We chose a junior suite which was on the top floor but there was a lift which helped us as we had to make our own way to our room without assistance. The owners were delightful but the accommodation was very tired and the shower room was extremely small with room for one person only. There was room in the suite for a freestanding bath but there was no bath and we felt as if we were in the roof. The breakfast which had been given good revues on Expedia we felt was fairly basic with only a hot option of a boiled egg and hams on request for nearly 20 euros each. We can only base our experience on other hotels we visited on this trip and we were slightly disappointed.Parking was available but limited and the owner prefers to move the vehicles due to the tight space available. To conclude the hotel is in a great central location and the owners are delightful but was disappointed with the accommodation and breakfast. Would rate it as 2/3 star only

Very helpful staff. Beautiful old Chateau. Wonderfull swimming pool. Easy walk into town.
