“Delightful location in lovely setting with excellent rooms”
We loved the excellent ambience of the hotel. Parts of the building were originally within the chateau estate. The bedroom was more like an apartment with separate lounge area. the breakfast was lovely with a nice choice of charcuterie, cheese home made yoghurt with fruit compote, and homemade cakes and honey. The chateau entrance is very close to the hotel and you even get discounted entry to the chateau. Our host was exceptionally helpful and welcoming.

Lovely, spacious room with a balcony. Super breakfast. Very interesting to read about the history of the building, with its 1950s/1960s' period being reflected in some of the decor. Nice to have jazz music at breakfast!

“A perfect welcoming B&B to visit the Loire châteaux”
A huge apartment with all facilities in a central quiet location, perfect to visit Valençay château. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with home made jam, cake and yoghurts. The owner took the time to talk to us at length and made us feel very welcome. It was good to have a secure and free parking . We would definitely recommend to stay in Aux portes du château if you visit the area

A historic and beautifully presented apartment. Really comfortable and brilliantly managed. The breakfast was really lovely, and the proximity to the Chateau completely unique.

“Quirky original style with a helpful hostess in an ideal location.”
The woman running the place was very pleasant and helpful. The location beside Chateau Valecay was ideal, as we were visiting it. The curious style of the building and quirky furniture were likable. Really lovely garden. Spacious room.
