    It would be great if internet were provided

    Philippe was very welcoming and the cave houses made a cosy place to stay. It’s well located in easy cycling distance of the town centre.

    It smells a little damp, but no more than would be expected. The access is tight in a larger car, but OK.

    Quirky and very comfortable. Easy to find, very friendly welcome, convenient to walk into town, great facilities. The room faces south with an outside seating area. We only stayed one night but would like to have stayed longer.

    That we only booked one night at this lovely place.

    The room was exceptional, had everything we needed and such a unique experience to sleep in a cave. The decor was oriental-style with a feint delicate scent of joss-stick in the background. Absolutely delightful. Our host was very helpful and friendly and clearly proud of the work he has it in not create this superb accommodation.

    Nothing.

    Troglodelice is like an oasis, the location was perfect, on the edge of Azay le Rideau, within easy walking distance of the Chateau but calm, tranquil and with such a beautiful garden. The owners were invariably accommodating and friendly throughout. We had two rooms, each well equipped and with their own personality, and both incredibly comfortable and welcoming. Dinner was excellent, with a tailored menu for the vegetarian in the family. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding, the spice bread was a particular hit with the whole family, but all of it was lovely.

    The cottages are unique, quiet, and comfortable. They are cleverly renovated storage caves below an old manor house. Our room had a double bed and a single, with a large and beautiful bathroom plus a handy kitchenette. we also had a private garden area with lounge chairs and a private patio with table and chairs. It was a great place to relax and rest. We enjoyed the large continental breakfast for an extra cost. The hosts were welcoming and quick to communicate. we highly recommend this stay.

    Nothing serious that would put us off visiting again. We missed the entrance - it is up a track about 30 m after the exit sign for the village. It's a personal thing but we would prefer a door to the bathroom and toilet for a bit more privacy, but being a cave with only windows at the front I guess that ventilation would be hard if more enclosed.

    Interesting and rather quirky place. It really is a cave. A very warm welcome. Very clean and well presented. You have a small terrace plus a small lawn with sun loungers. Inside a small kitchen area and a fridge is very handy. Private and safe parking. Dog friendly. Highly recommended. Close to the town - 10 minute walk.

    Sadly disappointing as this property was NOT as advertised.

    We visited during an extremely hot period with temperatures over 30 degrees in early September and travelling with a dog we specifically booked accommodation on our trip that had air conditioning. We stayed in the Eden Room which was advertised (and still is) as having air-conditioning. Unfortunately this was NOT the case, rather there was a fan available for use. We found a small unplugged de-humidifier in the corner of the bathroom which my companion managed to turn on but required emptying and after a short period of use blew out warm air. The cave as might be expected was extremely humid and the absence of AC made for an uncomfortable nights sleep, or lack of. Guests who did not expect a/c may be happy with the accommodation however we specifically booked on the basis of this facility which was NOT available. The room was also advertised as having two double beds another reason for booking the property. On arrival we discovered one bed (as photographed) the second was in the form of a sofa bed which we had to specifically ask to have made up for us. Again perhaps a problem of mis-advertising but had we known it was a sofa bed, we would not have booked this accommodation. We had relied upon the property having a BBQ facility but this was also not available although we discussed in broken French the cooking facilities. Other guests should not rely upon being able to BBQ, again perhaps not a problem for guests who are staying longer, but we had only booked one night and had arrived with food to cook based upon the premise that there was a BBQ available. Breakfast is charged at E8 per person for what looked like a croissant and some bread, jam, juice and coffee. As our dog was not allowed in the breakfast area (shed) and the proprietor told us to put the dog in the car (in 25 degree plus heat) and return without him for our meal, we left without sampling the food.

    A quirky room, and great bathroom with good sized towels (a rarity) and a fabulous shower.

    The access to the room was a bit untidy and the rooms weee a bit damp.

    The property was different, being in a cave and was very well done. It had a small kitchenette, handy for making a hot drink or a light meal. The rooms were very spacious and the outdoor seating area was good.
