Cleanliness
1
Generally praised in several reviews (mentions of 'propreté' and 'lovely clean rooms'), indicating good cleanliness overall.
Service
1
Consistently highlighted as a strength: staff described as attentive, very accommodating and professional with exceptional welcomes.
Location
1
Frequently praised for scenic, tranquil castle setting and surroundings; one report of getting lost using provided address and an undisclosed exterior renovation tempers this slightly.
Room Quality
1
Mixed to negative comments: several guests mention hard beds, an incorrect bed size for a reservation, TV not working, and variable temperature control in rooms.
Amenities
1
Multiple complaints about limited TV channels, occasional lack of restaurant service in the evening, heating/temperature issues and external renovation not communicated.
Value for Money
1
Some guests felt expectations were not met for the style of the establishment (reservation non-conforming, requests for compensation), though others recommended the stay; overall slightly negative.
Food and Beverage
1
Many positive mentions of excellent dinner and phenomenal breakfast; however a few guests reported no cook on some evenings and only cold plate options.
Overall Experience
1
Predominantly positive descriptors ('inoubliable', 'exceptionnel', 'we will visit again') but operational issues (restaurant, room comfort, amenities) modestly reduce the overall score.

Lovely place , lovely staff but not four star service .
Pros:

It’s a beautiful chateaux , excellent location .

Cons:

It is not really a four star with the service and we felt overpriced . Breakfast at €25 was excessive .
We had a buffet on the day of arrival as restaurant closed . When we went to get our food a lot had gone so we didn’t have much at all . People were filling their plates and then leaving food . We asked if there was more salad and tomatoes came out with anchovies but not with burratta. It was disappointing .

Authentische antike Atmosphäre, schöner Pool, sehr ruhige und schöne Umgebung
Pros:

Sehr gutes Essen und super Frühstück.

Cons:

Keine richtige Dusche, nur Badewanne, wo man im sitzen duschen muss. Für Menschen über 50 nicht optimal. Das Personal war nett, aber nicht sehr zuvorkommend. Für den sehr hohen Preis hätten wir mehr erwartet.

Si pero no
Pros:

El encanto del Chateau y la amabilidad del personal

Cons:

Las habitaciones que nos dieron muy calurosas y no estaban bien climatizadas, un calor insoportable.
La cena en cuanto a relación calidad precio no corresponde. Carne tierna pero sin sabor.

Great value!
Pros:

Nice peaceful pool and wonderful dinner. Our room was gigantic. Very helpful personnel and wonderful experience overall.

Cons:

Would love the design to be a bit more.. having said that the place is great value for money and doesn’t pretend to be what it’s not.

Pros:

Affascinante struttura: confortevole per esser un vero castello, circondato da una terra antica e piena di storia.

Cons:

Necessiterebbe di qualche intervento manutentivo e innovativo.
