Séjour très agréable dans un environnement exceptionnel.
Pros:

Le cadre est superbe. La chambre agréable.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré. Choix dans les pains (seulement 2 sortes de baguette). La qualité des viennoiseries. Croissant très salé.

Al di sotto delle mie aspettative
Pros:

La posizione è sicuramente particolare e scenografica

Cons:

Tra le camere chiamate tradition ce ne sono alcune con la tappezzeria rossa che a mio avviso spno esteticamente meno belle di altre pur appartenenti alla stessa categoria. Alcune stanze si trovano fuori dall edificio principale e non hanno una vista sulla valle poiché c è una siepe. Nella mia camera ho trovato 2 ragni i. Bagno e tutt intorno alla finestra dalla parte interna pur essendo presente la zanzariera.
Colazione buona ma per 23 euro mi aspettavo qualcosina in più.

Pros:

Le lieu et surtout ses terrasses magnifiques, surtout la delicatesse, l engagement et le professionnalisme du personnel qui travaille enormement et trouve toutes les solutions pour rendre le sejour agreable. Un grand merci au merveilleux sommelier Guillaume ! Nous avons pris les chambres traditions qui sont petites et n ont qu un lit 140 mais le personnel a eu la gentillesse de nous prevenir. Grace aux moustiquaires elles sont très fraiches ! Ce qui aurait pu etre un point negatif etait en fait un super raport qualite prix.

Cons:

Quasiment rien à part que l equipe donne tout mais semble sous staffée alors que le lieu et le personnel méritent de meilleurs investissements !

Pros:

Belle vue et le petit déjeuner de qualité

Cons:

Château vétuste. Notre chambre était tout en bas dans une partie du Château certainement pas prévu pour ça.
Beaucoup d'éléments laissés à l'abandon
Climatisation à fond dans les parties communes et aucune dans les chambres.
Attention chambres du sous-sol à éviter si il fait chaud.
Beaucoup de toiles d'araignée, d'éléments abîmés.
Déçu pour le prix

Schönes Château, kommen gerne wieder.
Pros:

Schönen kleines Schloss mit Blick auf die Loire. Excellentes, sehr reichhaltiges Frühstück in prunkvollem Saal. Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Kostenlose Parkplätze auf dem Anwesen. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Man kann Fahrräder leihen.

Cons:

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber mit Charme. Unser separater Eingangsbereich sowie die Fenster waren mit Taubendreck beschmutzt.

Best dinner that I have had in France. Elise was perfect.
Pros:

The staff was excellent

Cons:

Not their fault, but the canicule was a bit of a problem. The fans in the room helped but it was not AC.

An experience
Pros:

The staff

Cons:

The food was fantastic but I did feel that it didn’t really cater for family with young children, as the menu was rabbit , fish or lamb,
The lamb was excellent, Michelin star ?
As were the langoustines ,
And the rhubarb the finest I have ever eaten.

The best staff ever!
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful Chateau. Rooms are beautiful, the whole property was stunning. Only marked down as no air conditioning in the rooms. If you go during normal weather it will be fine but in a heatwave it was a struggle. The staff were 10 out of 10. AMAZING !

Cons:

No air conditioning in bedrooms.
Bar and food expensive.
