Een beetje een ontgoocheling, gezien toch wel een stevige prijs.
Pros:

Het domein is fantastisch. Heerlijk vertoeven en wandelen in de stilte en natuur. Het gastronomisch restaurant was heerlijk dineren.

Cons:

Voor ons was de sfeer te gekunsteld en geen authenticiteit, niettegenstaande een prachtig domein. De jongeren deden oprecht hun best, maar mogelijk ontbrak aanwezigheid van maturiteit. De rioolgeur in onze kamer was vervelend. Het restaurant 1715 vonden we duur voor de kwaliteit. Het geluid van de stappen in het gastronomisch restaurant was storend, wel héél lekker.

Non è un cinque stelle.
Pros:

Bella location

Cons:

Appena arrivati ci è stato communicato che il ristorante era al completo e avremmo dovuto cenare in camera. Nessuno ci ha contattati prima del nostro arrivo per chiedere se avremmo voluto riservare un tavolo (dato che Audrieau non offre altro al di là della struttura). Solo dopo aver discusso con lo staff ci è stato trovato un tavolo. La camera collocata su due piani (dove sarebbe stato impossibile cenare), scomoda, buia, priva di frigobar. La struttura non ha spazi comuni all’interno: c’è solo un divano. Non abbiamo provato spa e piscina. Rapporto qualità prezzo pessimo.

Pros:

Incredible experience all around. Reception were knowledgable, engaging, and super friendly. Got a tour of the property right off the bat with complementary cider. Room was fantastic, spacious and very comfortable. Grounds are great, lots to do around the property and the countryside.

Easily one of our best stays ever.

Cons:

Just nitpicking, because everything else was fantastic. When you check in, you get a choice of where you'd like to eat (they've got two options: formal dining or more casual) and we didn't get too much insight into what each one was. Casual dining menu was a bit limited.

Völlig überteuert, Preis Leistung in allen Bereichen schlecht
Pros:

Schönes Areal

Cons:

Abzocke beim Frühstück, eiergerichte müssen trotz extrazahlung des Frühstücks noch dazu gezahlt werden
5 Sterne Hotel muss eine Minibar im Zimmer haben, hier nur auf Anfrage
Fine Fine Restaurant ohne Stern aber mit sternepreise, obwohl kein Sterneküche gekocht wurde. Weinpreise extrem teuer.
Wir fragten nach einem gehaltvollen gereiften Wein, der Sommelier empfahl einen Wein um 200€ Jahrgang 2025, jeder der Ahnung hat, weiß, dass das viel zu jung ist. Noch dazu dieser Preis, hier werden ahnungslose Gäste abgezockt

Overall beautiful and we would always come back
Pros:

The chateau and the location are stunning. We loved the atmosphere of the chateau and the beautiful nature around. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

Considering that breakfast was already €48 per person, having to pay extra for items such as poached eggs felt a bit excessive. Also, both rooms (14,15) could have benefited from more fresh air and ventilation, as there was a slightly unpleasant smell when we arrived.
