A beautiful, indeed magnificent Château. Most welcoming, with super helpful and friendly staff. A truly magnificent room with splendid views. The evening meal was gourmet and the breakfast made lunch impossible. Much of the original castle has been incorporated, adding to its charm. We certainly intend to stay again on our return in a few weeks.

“Zwischen märchenhaft und geschichtsträchtig, etwas überrenoviert. Allemal sehenswert!”

Ehemals einZentrum der Resistance nahe der Demarkationslinie, als das Schloss Eigentum von Marie-Thérèse de Poix war, die dann leider deportiert wurde, ist das Schloss heute eher zus ehr renoviert, hat aber wundervolle Ecken behalten. Das Hotel-Restaurant muss noch seinen Rhythmus finden. Wir waren dort an einem Oktoberabend essen: äusserst praktisch gelegen, nicht weit von Autobahnausfahrt und Nationalstrasse, empfängt das Haus stilvoll und ruhig, im Wald an der Manse gelegen. Das restaurant ist modern, etwas kühl in der Atmosphäre. Dies wird jedoch von dem ausgesprochen freundlichen und gesprächigen Maître d'Hôtel ausgeglichen - und der Koch tut dann das Seine dazu: nicht überkandidelt sondern direkt und geschmackvoll ist seine Küche, die bestens ohne Chichi auskommt. Schon die "amuse- gueule", Lachs auf Zitronencrème-Toasts, waren bestens. Der Wein ebenfalls qualitätsvoll und im Preis angemessen. Es gibt ein paar gute Jahrgänge auf der Weinkarte. Das Restaurant war wenig belegt, wir haben trotzdem einen netten Abend verbracht und gute französische Küche genossen. Ich hoffe, die Eigentümer öffnen in Bälde noch andere und historischere Räume, etwa als Bar vor oder nach dem Essen, damit von der Atmosphäre auch beim schlichten Restaurant-Kunden etwas mehr hängen bleibt. Wir kommen sicher bald mal wieder.

Stayed for three nights late August. Great welcome from the personnel, who were warm and friendly. We changed rooms as the first one was too small (on the second floor). Next room, on the third floor, much nicer and spacious. All the rooms are decorated differently and are charming, bathrooms and products very stylish. The pool and gym were open but it was raining while we were there so didn't use them although they look very nice.. Lovely garden to stroll around and very pretty rose garden. There is a lovey bar/drawing room area on the first floor. Just two bad points: the bedrooms are equipped with the dreaded thick polyester duvet and there is no central air-conditioning so hot and uncomfortable in summer. There was a portable aircon unit but it was very noisy. Lighter bed covers would be great! Other thing was the restaurant: I saw very nice photos on other comments from 2018 but the chef must have changed as we found the food was just about adequate and we only had dinner once. Breakfast was ok, but no fruit salad and the dining room itself, being modern and boxy, is not in keeping with the rest of the chateau.

I have mixed thoughts about this chateau. Good points. Beautifully restored to a high standard. Rooms decorated in true chateau style. Nice big modern bathrooms with complimentary smellies Safe in room Lovely gardens Lift for easy access. Swimming pool open in season. lovely friendly staff very engaging. Less good bits No tea and coffee facilities in rooms But there is a paying mini bar. Though a little expensive. Restaurant food ok. Menu very limited. Nothing special. Restaurant drinks a bit expensive. The chateau is far out so you have to travel quite far. Nearest restaurants 15 mins drive away.not much of a choice in local town 15 minutes away. Bar in hotel on 1st floor only open when busy. This chateau lacks a soul somehow it has the potential of being a fabulous place. Lack of facilities, communual room near the restaurant with open bar for a little socialising would probably bring this place to life.
