Simply, the best
Pros:

This is perhaps one of the finest chateaux available to travelers in France. I say that as a traveler who's visited most of Europe, with many decades of independent travel under my belt. If for any reason you ever come to this area of France, or for no other reason but to stay here, this place is mandatory. Ryan and his lovely wife are exceptional hosts and the highlight of our recent travel through France. Frankly, experiences like this are our reason for visiting Europe. Next time, I come by motorcycle though, so Ryan and I can drive D7 together - but please, don't you try it in your car.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Magical, emotional and better than expected. My wife cried with emotion on arrival when she saw how beautiful it is
Pros:

Amazing property in a superb location. The pictures of the Chateau do not do it justice. It is much more beautiful in person and the location at the base of the Haute Alps looking towards the lake is simply stunning.
The owners are gracious and extremely hospitable. They have put a lot of love and effort into restoring the Chateau.
Certainly a place that we will be revisiting.

sicuramente ricorderò con piacere una struttura fuori dal comune, ma molto molto accogliente
Pros:

Luogo incantevole.. un castello che ha mantenuto le sue caratteristiche. Camera spaziosa e arredata con cura, pulizia e una attenzione ai particolari davvero notevole. Ci ha accolto la proprietaria gentile e simpatica che, anche se non parlo bene francese ha soddisfatto ogni nostra richiesta. Ambiente molto elegante ma accogliente. Colazione abbondante e con prodotti di qualità. Sicuramente da consigliare per un soggiorno romantico fuori dal comune

Pros:

Das Schloss liegt auf einer Anhöhe mit tollem Blick ins Tal und auf den See von Embrun. Die Zufahrt kann nur über einen Code geöffnet werden. Parkplätze sind ausreichend und ohne Zusatzkosten vorhanden.
Das Himmelbett war äußerst bequem. Die "Schlossherren" sind ebenfalls sehr, sehr nett.
Das Frühstück ist von hervorragender Qualität.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Amazing, charming, welcoming.
Pros:

Absolutely amazing chateu, beautifully restored. The staff is a very kind family. It really is unbelievable how serene and majestic the building and the grounds are. Great view of the lake from a huge terrace. The area is also very charming.

Cons:

Breakfast is a bit overpriced for what it is, with a bit of few options - but those options are tasty and good, and the atmosphere of the room is very unique.
