We had been driving for several days through Normandy when my family and I arrived at this wonderful small château. We were warmly greeted by our host Adrian at our car, who kindly helped us carry our luggage up to our room on the third floor. The room was quite large and nicely decorated with antique furniture and wooden floors.... More

Our stay was a true highlight of our six weeks in Europe. The owners rent 5 rooms in their beautiful chateau in the countryside outside the small town of Esvres in the Loire region. It's convenient to drive to the Loire chateaus and back for evening. The owners were very welcoming and helpful with suggestions for our tour. They serve... More

The location was good for visiting chateaus and castles in the Loire Valley. Adrian and Joke were terrific hosts; Joke is a wonderful cook (be sure to eat at least one dinner... More

Adrian and Joke are wonderful hosts - both extremely friendly, interesting and helpful with recommendations about the local area. The food cooked by Joke was delicious and they went... More

We recently stayed at Chateau de la Villaine for 5 nights with our two young children. Our family room was very spacious and beautifully appointed but family friendly. The views from our room over the delightful grounds were an added bonus. The children were free to roam around the grounds and house and the delightful Joke went out of her... More

We enjoyed two fantastic dinners cooked by the very talented Joke and the matching wines selected by Adrian were superb and perfectly matched! Great tips from Adrian made for great day trips throughout the valley. The Chateau gives you the perfect... More
