the french royal family really knew how to build a chateau, what a welcome change to stay in a truly unique building. This private family owned chateau which is open for hotel visitors for a few months a year is going to be a regular stop for us. What a relief to enjoy some originality and temporary escape from the modern day same old...
The 22 hecatres of private park are a joy and I thourougly encourage a promenade in the park, even if you have to pay your toll of a glass of whisky for crossing the bridge!

put in a room where the bed was very old and had collapsed, though they did change rooms quickly

only instant coffee in rooms

food very basic and the ingredients meat especially was very poor almost inedible

good location and had 2 swimming pools

We loved our stop here. The owners went out of their way to welcome us. Our bags were carried to our room which was freshly decorated. Beautifully tiled bathroom. Dinner was fantastic, with friendly unrushed service. We walked around the lake in the morning before breakfast and sat outside to eat croissants and drink coffee. Blissful - perfect views.

Arriving at the Chateau, anyone will accept the fact that the surrounding is really nice. The Chateau is beautifully placed on top a hill where a lovely scene is available. The small woods near the place looks magnificent but I had the bad idea of going there on a rainy day (and for a rainy week-end)… just too bad!

The service is ok… Well, I mailed a lot the owner and asked for various things so as to be sure that this stay would be a magic one for me and my wife. Only dark spots may be the price for some people (but do not forget that you are in a beautiful Chateau with a gastronomic restaurant) and the welcome plateau was, according to me, a bit poor - only hot drinks (2 sticks of coffee and tea with a kettle, I was expecting something like fruits, well may be my mistake there…). Oh, and no staff is present to help bring the luggage (but we traveled light so that was not a problem for us).

The room was gorgeous; we had a character room (Chambre Louis-Philippe), Room Number 21. The bed was superb (four-poster bed) and we had a lovely view of in front and backwards the Chateau. I really liked the 2 small towers in front of the Room.

We had dinner in the gastronomic restaurant… and had the Menu “Accord Mets et Vins” which gives each guest a glass of wine for each of the corresponding plate (Amuse-bouche, Starter, Fish, Meat, Cheese and Dessert… which was champagne for the last one). The food and wine was excellent, and I cannot understand others who said that they had not much to eat… It was a very nice experience for me and my wife!

Unfortunately due to the bad weather, we couldn’t enjoy the nice surroundings or the Golf (30 Balls for practicing for 4 € only!!!).

There’s also a sauna, interior swimming pool, Wifi (fair but ok), and games at the bar… all those amenities are free.

Globally, I must admit that my first Chateau experience was a nice one… definitely better than average…

Oh, one last thing (for General Knowledge), the Restaurant has lost its Michelin Star for some years now after a change of the Chef… but as I said the food was more than excellent. I would definitely recommend this place for any of you reading this…
