We absolutely loved the Chateau and the overall concept! Such a magical place to explore and relax at. It's very different than the other antiquated chateau hotels - youthful, designy and modern.

Beautiful chateau and spa with so many surprising spots to discover. Small walk in the woods with art everywhere leading you to a great bfast and lunch resto with a water view. All the amenities you can think of and more. Friendly staff that make you want to stay forever. You will fall in love with this place.
