Grand Chateaux in France

Beautiful chateaux with friendly owner. The chateaux is huge with very few rooms. Given the oldest part was built in 1115, you can expect that it is as clean as a modern 5 star hotel. Nevertheless, the bed is comfortable and the property has character. I would highly recommend staying there for the experience. BTW, the breakfast is also excellent with fresh squeezed apple juice from the property.

Experience a Thousand Year castle for a night!

This is a unique property of world class historical importance. It does not need to be compared with “ordinary hotel accommodation”. It should be promoted as being a genuine “experience” not just a room for the night.

This place was AMAZING! I mean, who gets to stay in a medieval keep or 17th century Château? You have to keep in mind that it is in the process of renovation, but the individual rooms, the grounds and history are spectacular. Sofie and Charles are great hosts with lots to share about their property and the surrounding areas. They were super helpful in pointing us towards things to see and even called ahead and printed out materials for our site seeing. We HIGHLY recommend this place!

Historic Dream Retreat

If you want to fall in love with the history of France I cannot think of anywhere more perfect than Château de Saint Loup. When you walk through the gates and over the moat you leave the modern world behind and are living in the properties glorious past, from the Medieval tower to the 17th century chateau. The owners are a delight and will spoil you with private tours, plenty of solitude and clean impeccably decorated rooms. Château de Saint Loup is a retreat for your soul and it’s amazing to see the dedication that the owners have been putting into the restoration for the last 30 years. Smell the blooms in the orangerie, peak into the dovecote, and stroll down to a romantic pavilion along the waters edge. Go ahead, treat yourself.

Séjour d’exception !

Une vue imprenable sur le château XVII, un logement authentique qui fait voyager dans le temps, de vastes pièces y compris une salle de bains immense avec baignoire centrale et cheminée, de l’eau minérale à disposition, et surtout l’accueil des propriétaires qui ont su répondre à toutes nos questions et attentes lors d’une visite proposée du domaine, dont l’environnement est entretenu avec passion. Sans oublier le village typique, avec un restaurant accueillant juste à la sortie du château.

There are not enough good things to say! This was the most magical stay we’ve had. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and kind, and funny! We stayed in the yellow room , which was very dreamy with an incredible bathtub! The next morning we woke up and toured the grounds as well as a quick tour through the renovations of the main chateau. Overall, cannot recommend enough. We can’t wait to come back and see the progress!

Great experience, amazing property

Our stay was great, the owners of the château were really friendly and we got to stay in a very large room in a medieval tower, situated on a magnificent property. There were no wifi or TV in the room, but there was a large supply of books and magazines instead. It was actually very refreshing and didn't feel like it was lacking due to the medieval atmosphere.
