Tried to charge a much higher price for bottles of wine we bought in their shop when taken to their restaurant! We asked before we took the wine in if it was ok and permitted!

No one we know will EVER stay there nor eat at their restaurant!!! Our travel agent set us a beautiful bouquet for our anniversary that was delivered to our room by the local florist. On check out they tried to charge us for the flowers! The included breakfast was ok.

You are to return to the front desk each you leave your room, and then you pick up again upon arriving back. The grounds offer plenty of places to have quiet time with your partner. The view is stunning, and there is even a pool just for dipping. The bar experience was amusing, in that the bartender wrote everyone's order in an old school memo pad and had you write your room number. The rooms are a perfect marriage of traditional and modern. The rooms boast original hardware and ornate details from 300-400 years ago. The restaurant is tucked away in the bottom floor of the main building. You can either walk down the stairs or walk around the building. The breakfast had plenty to offer...fresh fruits, charcuterie, fresh breads, egg options, sausage, bacon, yogurt and more. Dinner was a delicious experience. This place is perfect if you're wanting to break away from busy and enjoy the French countryside.

Starter of foie gras was superb, with marinated cherries perched atop small squares of decadence. Main courses were duck and pork tenderloin.

The staff here are just fantastic, particularly Vincent in the dining room. His knowledge of wines and local producers is invaluable. Oh, almost forgot - this restaurant is in a magnificent chateau (or rather a castle). As I type this I don't know whether it is being placed as a review of a restaurant or hotel, but the chateau is incredible.

The price includes the breakfast in the morning. The chateau has an separate building for guest dwelling. We did not stay at the main building. The bed is comfortable. Since this is in the rural area, the night is very quiet. No elevator. If you have big luggage, you may want to consider use the smaller bag for your one night stay because most of the room is up stair. Breakfast is delicious with fresh made croissants. Because of the COVID condition, the breakfast was put in the order the night before. The chateau has a miniature golf, magnolia spa, garden and more. The room is secure with double door entry.

The grounds of the chateau are spacious and beautiful and they have a pet blue peacock running around the grounds. :) One morning we watched the vivacious owner and hostess, Violaine, as she fed the peacock right outside the chateau's back door, that bird is really tame. The chateau is also the family home so you get to see the family members going about their errands for the day, on the day we arrived, there was a piano lesson for one of the children going on. This, along with Voilaine's hospitality, really made us feel like we were at home as well. The one thing I regret is that we didn't have the chance to have one of her special dinners there, I hear she's a wicked-good cook. This chateau is so beautiful and the grounds so serene, I hope one day to be back.

Our room was spacious with a separate sitting room and a newly remodeled bathroom. The decor is fitting to a castle. There are many stuffed animals in one corridor and lots of nooks and crannies to explore. The salon is beautiful. To reach the pool, you walk through an underground tunnel which also houses a wine cellar. A pond and wildlife are visible from the lawn. Continental breakfast available for 12 euros and is completely French. When traveling through the Loire Valley, make this a stopover for the night. There are only 12 rooms available so plan ahead! I would have liked to spend more time here because it is so lovely.

We stayed for 4 nights in the Catherine suite (all of the 12 rooms are named for members of the owner's family) which was a huge room on the 1st floor (2nd floor in the US) with 11 foot timbered ceilings, 3 large double windows (at least 5 ft tall each), a small adjoining turret room and a very large bath room with claw foot tub, giant tiled shower, heated towel rack and more. I don't believe the room has A/C but as we visited in late September, opening up the windows a bit was just fine. In the back they have a large pool that is available from mid May to Mid September and there is a lot of property if one wishes to explore. The view out our window was of the woodland pond and fields. Breakfast (continental only) is included at the leisurely hours of 830 to 1100 in case you want to sleep in like the lords and ladies of bygone days. You will need a car to explore the area and to go into town (4KM) for dinner.

The hotel itself is everything you want a French boutique hotel to be: quaint, cozy, charming, but the rooms are surprisingly large, especially after the rather cramped hotel rooms of Paris! Our room felt surprisingly spacious. A small detail that was a big plus for me was the towel warmer in the bathroom. I wanted to do a little laundry midway through our trip, and it came in very handy. Breakfast was excellent and managed to please both my French husband and me, the American, which I think is quite an accomplishment! And a special mention has to go to Olivier at the front desk, who is quite simply the sweetest, nicest, friendliest, and overall bestest! He made an already lovely stay even more enjoyable. My only regret is that we didn't plan to stay longer. I would happily come back!

Each morning we watched hot air balloons go by :) The room was very comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful, and the location was fantastic. Keep in mind that it's a small building and there is no elevator. A few notes that may be helpful to others: 1) The parking area is through a gravel area. If you have luggage on wheels, I highly recommend you stop near the front door and unload your luggage before parking your car because it's impossible to really drag luggage on wheels through the gravel (you'd need to carry them). 2) Rent a small car! The entrance/exit is on the corner of two one-way streets and is quite narrow to enter and exit through and also to make a sharp turn in either direction when exiting. Having a smaller car will be easier to navigate. 3) They lock the main gate at night for security and there is a small door you can exit and enter through by foot but we couldn't figure out how to exit through there (we had the code to enter from the outside but couldn't figure out how to open it from the inside to leave). They ended up opening the main gate for the cars and we walked through that in the early morning but if you need to leave very early (for example for a hot air balloon tour) before the main gate is typically unlocked you'd need to check with the staff to make sure you're able to exit early enough with your vehicle.
