The spirit of the place
Once the château's farm, now a discreet hotel: Rivau cultivates the art of slowness. You sleep beneath patinated beams, you lunch under the kitchen-garden arbour, you wander gardens full of old roses and contemporary sculptures.
The hotel is one with the château and its listed gardens (Jardin Remarquable): an experience anchored in landscape, Chinon wines and imagination.

Accessibility
Due to the historic configuration of the property and the presence of staircases, the hotel does not currently have facilities to welcome guests with reduced mobility in appropriate conditions. We are of course available to advise you on the accessibility of our spaces and to assist you in planning your stay.
