A découvrir absolument!
L'aspect le plus remarquable réside dans l'offre gastronomique de la table d'hôte. Les propriétaires de ce lieu ont trouvé une perle en la personne de Carole Pagès qui propose avec une grande générosité une expérience gustative faite de touches exotiques qui viennent sublimer les produits de saison en partie issus de la cueillette de saison.
Daniel Fr. avis Booking juin 2025
Apaisant, accueillant et magnifique !
La beauté du château, la splendeur et la grandeur du parc, les chambres très belles et très confortables, l’accueil adorable de nos hôtes, la splendeur du petit déjeuner, entièrement fait maison, y compris les viennoiseries par la Cheffe Carole. Nous espérons revenir avec grand plaisir, un jour, déguster son dîner gastronomique et visiter le château et le parc avec Edouard.
Dominique Fr. avis Booking sept. 2025
Endroit magnifique
C'est un endroit magnifique et paisible que j'ai adoré. Voir le travail accompli par les propriétaires est très impressionnant et mérite d'être admiré. Les chambres sont fantastiques et très spacieuses, et la bibliothèque et la salle de billard sont un endroit agréable pour s'asseoir, lire un livre ou jouer avec les chiens. Le petit-déjeuner était délicieux et le menu spécial de 7 plats préparé par Carole était un vrai régal.

Absolutely amazing
Absolutely incredible! I simply don't have a single complaint. We only stayed one night. If you're on the fence about booking, do it. You won't regret it. Alice was wonderful and very attentive.

What talent!
Carole's food!!!! What talent. An artist in many ways. Dinner with her will be the highlight of any traveller's stay in France. Perhaps the best meal I've ever had in my entire life.

Beautifully restored
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is a 17th-century château, beautifully restored by the owners to remain faithful to the spirit of the period. Everything has been tastefully done to recreate the atmosphere of yesteryear, while offering modern comforts. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Bravo to the cook
(…) The dinner was delicious! The unique thing about it is that you don't find out what you're eating until the end! (Don't worry: you are asked in advance about any allergies or dislikes). The dishes are seasonal and very well prepared. Wonderful discoveries, well done to the chef! Breakfast is also in keeping with the location: everything is homemade, including the pastries, bread, yoghurts, seasonal fruit salad, freshly squeezed orange juice, etc. The site is stunning and the guided tour by the owner is enriching. A timeless stopover or break!

Culinary creativity
An unforgettable moment in an incredible setting. Chef Carole knows how to strike the right note with every dish. Everything is homemade. While waiting for the gourmet restaurant to open, you have to stay overnight to enjoy the culinary creativity, and the rooms are on a par with the food and hospitality.

Unique experience
The chef's restaurant is a wonderful surprise: highly refined dishes that you discover after tasting them (she describes the dishes to us afterwards), excellent gourmet cuisine, friendly chef. A unique experience. We recommend it.

Really amazing
I used to come here often when I was a child and teenager, and it's truly incredible. Seeing these new photos and videos, I must say that the new owner has done an amazing job.
If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to go back!

A parenthesis out of time
A timeless interlude. A beautifully restored castle, transformed into an exceptional guest house. The absolute tranquillity of the surroundings, combined with discreet and exclusive service, creates a truly timeless experience. Breakfast is a special moment: quality products, refined presentation and simply impeccable service. An unforgettable stay. Thank you for this wonderful interlude.

Absolute calm
An exceptional weekend in a bed and breakfast. The food is delicious and the decor is in perfect harmony with the surroundings. Absolute peace and quiet, ideal for a relaxing weekend.
Robin A,
A dream come true
A bed and breakfast? No! A dream come true: you are transported back in time. The remarkable décor and tasteful furnishings transport you to the 17th century. You expect to hear the sound of a carriage, the neighing of horses, the barking of dogs waiting to take you on a tour of the wonderful grounds surrounding the magnificent castle. The table is in keeping with the setting. Once you've experienced it, you'll want to come back. An unforgettable night or weekend will leave you longing to return.
Philippe de P.
An excellent stay
We had an excellent stay at Édouard and Alice's castle. You can tell that they love having guests and that they don't do things by halves, whether it's cleanliness, meals, the surroundings or quantity. I highly recommend it if you want to immerse yourself in a castle and enjoy royal tranquillity.
