The property had amazing grounds and staff were very helpful. Especially with all the issues we had
The air conditioning unit leaked all over the carpet and started dripping through kitchen ceiling. We found loads of hair and stains on the bedding. We complained about this and they said that we could have a free breakfast, but I’ve just checked my card statement and they have charged me. Not impressed. Also no one in the morning to leave key too or speak too.

This property has been beautifully decorated and renovated and is made of different types of accommodations from hotel room in the chateau, gite on the ground and converted stable.
This is where we stayed and this duplex appartment was comfortable and made with good quality of materials.
The swimming pool is beautiful and the nordic bath looks dreamy.
The breakfast provided was made of good local products presented in a beautiful hamper, however it felt expensive as we got charged the same amount for our 3 year old kid as an adult, and at the same time we didn’t get 3 times the amount of breakfast (1 baguette in total, 2 eggs, but 3 yoghurts and pastries…) so it’s a bit confusing and definitely a point to take into consideration as this is more expensive that some other high standard hotels where we stayed at.

Stunning location, friendly staff who can't do enough for you, pristine surroundings
The loo downstairs in the duplex is quite small and ideally needs a basin
9.0
A wonderful, understated and calm environment. The place felt peaceful and almost still. The staff were so accommodating of our young children (2 & 6). A lovely relaxing few days after a busy time in Disneyland Paris!
Lack of understanding around food options before arrival. Plan ahead re breakfast and ordering dinner options.

Lovely setting in a wonderful park

It’s a stunning property in a suburb of Tours - but you’d think you’re a world away.
The beautiful lawns set in the middle of a wood make you feel like you’re wrapped in silk and feathers.
The pool and the hot tub were particularly enjoyable.
There was work done on the saunas so we couldn’t use them.

This was a beautiful Chateau with modern oppulate rooms. The shower was huge and the bed was very comfortable. Wish we had of stayed longer and would recommend.

Everything was simply perfect!
Since the apartment we booked wasn't ready yet (the renovation is still going on), we're upgraded to the villa, which was huge. It has 4 bedrooms and can accomodate up to 11. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There even was a washing machine. The kitchen is well equipped and allowed us to cook some of our meals.
The staff is very nice and attentive.
The heated pool was a blast, it was great to cool down there after a day in the area. The park around the property is very beautiful and charming. And in general, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. I couldn't recommend this place enough, we really enjoyed our time there
P.S. many reviewers complained about renovation works on site. I must admit those didn't bother us at all.
There're really few minor things missing, that are probably a result of a place being completely new (like some hooks here and there, for example) which I believe will be improved with the time.

it’s a beautiful landhouse on a large premises and surrounded by forrest. there was a lot to do for our family to relax on site. the pool, hot tub, playground, grassy area. the kids were happily exploring the forest and catching frogs.
it doesnt have a restaurant, so you have to go out for dinner. there are a lot of restaurants nearby, but you do need to take the car to get there.

The location is a very nice private place where you can enjoy the silence of the nature with a good book. Furthermore, there is a very nice outdoor area with a huge garden, pool and a large terrace. The rooms have everything you need with a very lovingly furnished. In addition to a great breakfast, the property has really helpful and courteous staff. The short stay was incredible and we really enjoyed it.
