Luxurious Chateau with Private Pool, Tennis and Par 3 Golf

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolutely amazing place! Everyone had the best time, waking up in gorgeous nature, relaxing on the terrace and partaking in the many activites available. I hope I get to return again but if I dont I will be happy to know at least Ive been once. What a great holiday."

Hôtel L'Univers

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was at the desk and recommended a nice brasserie to eat: the hotel was comfortable, in an old stone building with a lot of character. The room was comfortable the bedding perfect and we had a little sitting corner. We did not try the restaurant because it was closed but you will find plenty of places to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Will return in a heart beat."

Madame Christine is a wonderful hostess, warm, engaging, and full of captivating stories that make every moment more memorable. The house is impeccably clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The beautiful garden adds even more to the charm, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. A truly special place to relax and enjoy the heart of the French countryside"
