Amazing place
We loved everything about the Maison Rouge. and we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay. The two bedroom apartments' on second floor comes with amazing views. The history behind it is just as wonderful. Fully equipped kitchen and all that you need is ready for you enjoyment. I highly recommend you choose Maison Rouge in Chinon to all my friends and family.

Unique experience
The Red House is an historic one, and has been carefully restored and beautifully decorated. Situated in the centre of Chinon’s Old Town the house is spacious, comfortable and well- appointed. Our host was very welcoming and most helpful. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay
We have just returned home after a week staying at La Maison Rouge in Chinon. From the atart, communication with the owner was easy and timely. The location is excellent in the middle of old Chinon with food stores very close by. The apartment was huge and very comfortable with modern fittings. The spiral access stairs were wide enough to negotiate easily and there were good handrails provided. We were able to store our bicycles in the entrance area without any problem. We would highly recommend La Maison Rouge.

It was a great stay. The house and the town were both lovely. Our kids loved the apartment. My wife and I wished we could spend the whole summer at the Red House. Well equipped kitchen, where we were able to entertain some friends who came over for supper.

Central and comfortable
This apartment is large but very welcoming. We arrived on a wet and windy March day and the minute we entered the apartment felt like we were home and snug. Nathalie has been more than helpful from the moment we booked this apartment to our arrival. Can not recommend this apartment and Nathalie more highly. We will hopefully return.

Historic town, historic maison!
It has been a privelege to stay in one of the oldest buildings in Chinon. Maison Rouge is truly medieval, but the owners have done a fantastic job in turning the apartment into a very liveable space with all modern conveniences. Staying here has been an amazing experience.

It does not get any better
We were to spend three weeks in France, starting in Chinon. The stay in the Maison Rouge was a fantastic start. So wonderful that the rest of the time in France will pale into insignificance. All stays from here on out will be compared to the Maison Rouge and will be found significantly wanting. The location is perfect, the gite is fantastic, the hostess, Natalie, was perfectly wonderful and extremely helpful. The gite is stocked with information to keep you busy seeing all the sights. I write this in Paris and am experiencing Maison Rouge withdrawal. Bob and Debbie

Historisch Wohnen
Liebevoll eingerichtete großzügige Wohnung in einem historischen Gebäude mitten in der Altstadt. Super Ausstattung mit vielen kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten haben uns den Aufenthalt in diesem Quartier sehr bequem gemacht. Chinon ist die Stadt der kurzen Wege, alles ist in 5 Minuten zu erlaufen, Bäcker, Burg und Flusspromenade. Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren in die Region (Tours, Saumur...).

Het mooiste en best verzorgde huisje dat wij ooit gehad hebben!
Alles is goed verzorgd in dit mooie middeleeuwse huis. Een zeer schoon, goed onderhouden en sfeervol huis. Alles is aanwezig, van goede keukenspullen, perfecte bedden en kussens tot handoeken, vuilniszakken en wasmiddel. Je wordt hartelijk ontvangen en je krijgt goede uitleg en allerlei tips en informatie. Het huis is goed gelegen in het centrum van een mooi historisch stadje. En je hebt geen geluidsoverlast ook al ligt de woning midden in het centrum. Alles ligt op 5 minuten afstand lopen: supermarkt, bakker, slager, fromagerie, winkels, VVV enz. Je kunt je auto goed kwijt op een gratis parkeerplek. Ook al heeft het huis geen tuin, balkon, wij ervoeren dat als geen nadeel omdat er altijd plaats is op de vele terrasjes, in de restaurants, en wij veel op pad waren: fietsen, kayakken, de vele kastelen aan het bezoeken enz.
