Afslapning i dejlige omgivelser ude på landet
Dejligt ophold - poolen var skøn og værten perfekt. Lidt langt ude på landet og et par enkelte unøjagtigheder i udstyrslisten. Kan varmt anbefale en middag på “La ferme de Francois” ikke så langt derfra👌

Traumhaftes Ambiente + herzlicher Gastgeber
Das Chateau ist wunderschön und bietet viel Platz zum abschalten. Wer einen Ort zum entschleunigen, spazieren und wohlfühlen sucht wird hier fündig. Das Schloss selbst ist viel schöner als es die Bilder erwarten lassen. Es ist hervorragend ausgestattet, sauber und gemütlich. Das gleiche gilt für das zugehörige Grundstück, wobei der große - man muss schon sagen Park - an vielen Orten natürlich bleibt. Es gibt viel zu entdecken und der erste Gang durch Gebäude und Außenbereich fühlte sich an wie Tagträumen. Dabei ist der Gastgeber sehr herzlich, super erreichbar da an der nächste Türe, doch dabei so zurückhaltend, dass man den Raum bekommt, den man sich wünscht. Klare Empfehlung!
