A delightful stay full of activities, sports ( daily tennis !) swimming and long exciting walks. Our weather was very mixed ( we had a lot of rain) but there was so much space and local attractions: Chenenceaux chateau, Beauval Zoo, a mini chateaux children’s place and an adventure park we had no problem making the most of every day in a large family group - including 11 adults, 7 children ( toddlers to nine yr old..) and 3 generations. An extremely beautiful setting and a charming, friendly and helpful owner, Bruno… We’d come again …!

Our group of 11, consisting of three generations, had a wonderful time at the chateau. Bruno is a welcoming and responsive host, who shared the family's history with us upon arrival. It made it extra special to hear the stories associated with the property. He lives on the estate, so he and his loverly dog would come by if we needed his help. The estate is beautiful and extensive. Some of us went running for an hour and barely covered 1/3 of the estate. We saw lots of wildlife - deer, birds, and even a fox. It was a hot week when we were there, so we spent lots of time in the pool and sat on the lawn looking over the pond in the evening, listening to the birds and frogs and looking for the first star. It was truly magical. We found the house to be quite comfortable. The stove/oven (which is gorgeous) is just outside the kitchen, in the breakfast area, but we didn't find the layout to be problematic. We used the large dining table for dinners and board games, and the room with the red window cushions became our favorite place to sit and read. The adults stayed in the bedrooms in the ground floor and the second floor, and the kids were up in the "servants' quarters." The space is fun, but because we were there during the hottest heat wave in recent history, it got hot to sleep up there. We didn't try the tennis court because of the heat, but it looked very nice. The town of Genille has a midsize supermarket that is quite adequate, a bakery, and a little bar where you can have a morning espresso. Larger stores are in towns about 25 min. away, and it's easy to incorporate a grocery stop in the day's itinerary of visiting nearby towns and chateaus. There are also markets in nearby towns. We did a lot of sightseeing during our stay, but my favorite time was relaxing at the chateau at the end of the day. We would love to go back and stay again.

Très belle propriété agréable et au calme. Tout était conforme à la description de l'annonce, le château et les parties extérieures sont bien entretenues. Bruno est particulièrement soucieux du bien être de ses hôtes, à l’écoute, et très réactif aux éventuels besoins. Nous recommandons !
