We loved it...including the ghost who sat at the edge of my daughter's bed. She had a long old fashion white gown and her long beautiful black hair was hiding her face as she inclined forward in a sad and quiet way. My daughter slept through it and may be I did too. A great base to visit the area... More

The best part of the Chateau is the quiet and rustic surroundings. Our runs around the area were perfect, involving a nearby village and farmlands. The Chateau was grand and beautiful.

It did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded my expectations. My room in the castle was... More

The room was marvelous, the bathroom huge and excellent. and the service at every level, every event fantastic. Truly superb. But, the piece de resistance was the food from the first bite... More

I had been here twenty or so years ago and loved it. So on my first subsequent revisit to the Loire I couldn't resist a return. Unfortunately this second time affirmed the many, many good things about the place but there are some drawbacks that need to be addressed before it can recapture its modestly tarnished glory. First, the overall... More
