My husband and I spent three days here at the end of April and we enjoyed every minute. Charlotte and Jerome are very friendly and go far above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. This location is within a nice distance to the many chateaus in the Loire Valley, as well as several smaller towns... More

My husband and I spent three amazing nights here, and it wasn't enough! Being honeymooners, we where given the cottage, which is separate to the main buildings. The accommodation, set in a 1400s chateau is impeccably renovated. Hats off to Charlotte to Jerome! Everything from the size and comfort from our bed (memory foam, king) to the bathroom fit for...

We stayed 3 nights at the Loire Valley Retreat in mid April. We chose it due to its reviews and the location near the historical chateaus. Unlike most of Europe, the bedroom and bath were very spacious. The hosts, Jerome and Charlotte have renovated a historical chateau by adding modern conveniences, yet keeping the charm and warmth of the years... More

Charlotte and Jerome demonstrate at the Loire Valley retreat how an Anglo-French alliance can work well! We enjoyed our two days and would have liked to have stayed longer, in our lovely room, in a most investing chateau, surrounded by the French countryside. We had delicious food prepared by a chef ,and wine skill fully chosen by Charlotte, with Jerome... More

We had a wonderful time...hosts were very accommodating to our small children, meal times, food, etc. Rooms were gorgeous and very clean. Food and wine pairings were great fun and the atmosphere was impeccable! My highest ratings...

We picked this place based on the great reviews, perfect location near Chinon and the beauty of the Chateau itself. We couldn't have picked a better place for a family of 4 (2 young girls ages 3 & 5). Charlotte & Jerome are the perfect hosts for a family as they know what it's like first hand to balance children... More

Very personable. I highly recommend eating there for dinner if you have the opportunity and the night they did not have dinner their recommendation for in town was excellent. It was a beautiful place in a cozy setting that was very relaxing. We will definitely stay here again if / when we get back to the area. Both Charlotte and... More

We made our first trip to Loire Valley Retreat one year ago and enjoyed every moment. This second trip was just as fantastic! Looking at the 200 top reviews other guests have already left, I'm not surprised at the consistent top rating they have earned. Everything- absolutely everything is perfect. The rooms, the service, the food, the facilities, the welcoming... More

We (2 adults, 5yr old and 3yr old) stayed for a week at Chateau de Charge, and it was a fabulous experience. This is a wonderful property that has been renovated to the highest standards, and we could not have asked for more from Jerome and Charlotte, the owners. It was an ideal property for our family to stay. We... More
