  Recomendable cien por cien

  Sitio ideal, al lado del canal Luis XIV en Maintenon; muy bien situado a unos 20 minutos de Chartres y con estación de tren a 10 minutos a pie, con excelentes comunicaciones con París y Le Mans - una hora ambas-. Habitaciones muy amplias y agradables, cama enorme y muy cómoda. Aire acondicionado. Wifi gratuito. Pequeña piscina para refrescar tras las excursiones por los alrededores. Desayunos muy abundantes, con bollería hecha por Carmen, la dueña. Y lo mejor de todo, la atención de los propietarios, Carmen y José, siempre atentos para ayudarte en todo lo necesario. No perder la oportunidad de que José os enseñe su "taller-museo" relacionado con su pasado trabajando en el mundo de la alta costura, es tan interesante o más que una visita a cualquier museo de los alrededores. Y además hablan español, lo que lo facilita todo aún más.

  A French Fawlty Towers

  We have over a 100 helpful votes and are normal and sane. Driving from England, we arrived mid afternoon rather than around tea time.The place was completely locked up and we could get no response to bell pushing or door and window banging.I thought the place was derelict but made enquiries with nearby neighbors with no success. Went back and after more banging the owner came out,reluctantly...... pointing out that we were earlier than expected. We had booked for 2 nights but ,having been in the place ,I tried to cancel the second night. While the poor husband looked on apologetically , his wife , quite a character, berated us and kicked us out. It was a bit grim having driven so far but we booked into a lovely place nearby and maybe one day we will laugh about it.

  Traditional French B&B done with style!

  We stayed here for 2 nights before a camping trip in the Loire valley. The couple that run it are very welcoming, but don't really speak English (which was fine!). The gardens include a lovely swimming pool which we had to ourselves one afternoon, although the water was pretty cold as the weather wasn't great to warm it up! The breakfast was great - especially the homemade brioche which is nothing like I had tasted before! The rooms are of a very high standard - boutique hotel style, with lots of space. The road is quiet too. Would recommend - but probably tricky if you don't speak any French!

  Such friendly owners

  We spent just the one night here as our first stopover on our way south. We received the warmest of welcomes and were shown to our room which was spacious with lots of beams, well appointed and with oodles of charm. The highlight was the breakfast which had a closer resemblance to a brunch - such variety, including a cooked dish, and so delicious. What we didn't eat was slipped into a doggy bag for us to have later. We were invited by the owners to look round the garden and the workshop, so much admired by previous reviewers, but sadly the prospect of the long journey ahead prevented us from accepting. We thoroughly recommend this B&B and it will be our first choice if we come this way again.

  We like to stay here to break our journey from Kent to the Cantal

  This charming chambres d'hote is our favourite place to stopover. The rooms are lovely the beds huge and comfy everything is done perfectly. The super surprise is to ask José to show you around his museum. You will be blown away. The breakfasts are all home made and delicious. We like to eat out in the evening so we went to the Castle du Maintenon it was lovely food and much better service than last time.
