Hospitalité Luxueuse

Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires et du personnel qui sont aux petits soins pour vous faire passer un séjour le plus agréable possible. Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien organisées. Superbe château au sein d'un magnifique parc où il reste une tour de l'époque de François Premier. La salle à manger du petit déjeuner et ses vitraux sont magnifiques.

Évasion Parfaite

Lieu apaisant, très agréable et ressourçant. Cet établissement possède de belles prestations et surtout ce qui fait la beauté de ce lieu c’est la gentillesse sans égale du personnel, leur attention et leur bienveillance. Le parc du château possède une agréable forêt et une rivière pour faire de douces balades, jouer au tennis, se baigner dans la piscine ou découvrir le magnifique potager dont se sert le cuisinier du restaurant. On en gardera que de très bons souvenirs, sans aucun bémol, nous recommandons ce lieu.
