Quiet sophistication
Pros:

What a beautifully renovated chateau still in the original family and with a very welcoming atmosphere. Dinner was excellent and we soon got talking to our fellow guests. Really handy as a stop off going north or south. If your staying for a few days the pool and grounds are really worth spending some time in

Perfect stay in a homely chateau
Pros:

We stay each year en route to the uk and it never fails to impress .. drinks on the terrace at 7.30 followed buy a candle lit dinner or on the lawn if it’s summer .. the two house terriers doing the rounds…you feel you’re staying with friends .. perfect little pool area too

Cons:

We had no aircon and it’s been a seriously hot summer still a fan provided helped

If you visit, you will remember it always!
Pros:

This is the hotel of my dreams. It has such a relaxed vibe but one which oozes class and finesse. The staff were so friendly and accommodating but quietly doing their tasks and not intrusive. The actual building and all the furniture and fittings are incredible. Like entering another world. Huge grounds and a lovely pool. We loved the honesty bar, and the sense of wellbeing that this venue creates. Chat between guests freely flowed. We had 2 evening meals and breakfast. All the food was delicious. The owners and staff team have created something quite wonderful. I don't give a property 10 very often but this 10 was easy!

Cons:

Nothing!

For us too many dogs with the guests

Perfect
Pros:

What an incredible way to end our European road trip. From the moment we arrived, Château de Saint-Paterne felt like something straight out of a Walt Disney fairytale. The château is full of character, beautifully maintained, and set in stunning surroundings.

The secure courtyard parking was excellent and gave me complete confidence leaving my Porsche there overnight, which was greatly appreciated.

The hospitality was exceptional. Every member of staff made us feel like VIP guests, and the owner personally came to introduce herself and welcome us, which was a lovely personal touch that immediately made us feel at home.

The evening dining experience was superb. Everything was impeccably organised, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the food was of an outstanding standard. Every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—truly the sort of fine dining experience you would expect from a five-star establishment.

This château has charm, elegance and warmth in equal measure. It was the perfect place to finish our trip, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic French château experience with exceptional hospitality.
