The Château is situated outside of Vézelay and it will take a 15 minute drive to get to the town. It is almost eerily quiet. The service is very standard but friendly. Although they advertise grand rooms, the standard rooms are rather basic and the decoration more 80s than 18th Century. We had a good night sleep.

Overpriced and short sighted

The hotel is in a beautiful setting. There were very few guests and it would have been nice to get a bit better room. I mentioned my Expedia Gold status without any response. Breakfast was very disappointing, should have been included in the room price, but certainly not worth €16 per person - it was expensive, they ran out of eggs. For the total price of the stay for the two of us, there are much better options in the area. We won't return. It's a shame as the place had great potential.

authentic country stay

Picked this location as easy to get to on arrival to France [vs having to navigate a village]. The hotel is incredibly peaceful ... joked about having our own chateau! That said, it's not for everyone. Don't expect too much, just accept what is and you'll enjoy it.

It's a castle in the country

We were literally the only ones in the Chateau. The grounds are nice. Not perfect, in a bit of decay, but in a charming way. There is a nice small little garden next to the hotel, but the main grounds are not landscaped very well. We stayed here because it was a good spot between Lyon and Paris. Breakfast was great. The salon is very pretty. Our room was underwhelming, but it looked like there were some nice rooms.

Like stepping back in time

My wife and I stayed here for one night as our half way point across France. We had a wonderful stay. It was like stepping back to the Baroque. NOTE: Learning some French will benefit you greatly as one of the owner (the husband) is the only English speaking representative at the estate.

Good idea with bad room condition

NO conditioning, bad smell makes this hotel disatractive for staying. No lift, no near shops and no any attraction on place. The beautiful nature surrounding, gentle service, very testy breakfast, good parking.

The hotel is located in a very beautiful country area of France. The staff has limited English but were consistently polite. We had a problem with our credit card but the manager was more than helpful with working out the problem.

Le personnel est très accueillant et agréable. Ce château rural est dans un cadre magnifique, verdoyant, fleuri et ombragé. Notre chambre était simple mais décorée avec goût. La salle de restaurant est agrémentée d’une immense cheminée pour y passer un dîner chaleureux. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais suffisant.

I liked the style of the hotel and the quietness it has. But the price is far too high compared to other hotels in that price range. A next time I won't stay in the hotel if I have to pay the same amount.

Schöner Park. Haus in die Jahre gekommen; zu teuer

Das Hotel ist wunderschön gelegen mit einem traumhaften Park. Leider war unser Zimmer sehr in die Jahre gekommen und das Bett resp Matratze war eine Katastrophe. Der Zimmerpreis ist eindeutig zu teuer für was man kriegt! Das Abendessen war ausgezeichnet aber relativ teuer und die Bedienung nur mittelmäßig. WLAN nur bei der Rezeption und nicht in den Zimmer oder dem Restaurant.

Comment rater une belle opportunité

L'endroit est sublime, vraiment. Et après tout est décevant. L'accueil pour commencer: nous n'avons vu le premier jour qu'un brave réceptionniste-serveur tout en un mais qui n'était pas à la hauteur. Le lendemain au petit déjeuner nous n'avons vu personn, il y avait juste une table dressée avec tout dessus. La chambre n'etait pas mieux: propre mais malodorante. En plus le château était vide et nous avons été relégués dans une dépendance ...

Angenehmes Haus auf dem Land

Ruhiger Platz und angenehmes Zimmer . sehr geschäftstüchtige Gastgeberin, die bei unvorhergesehener Mitnahme des Enkelkindes , 4 Jahre, sofort ein neues Zimmer anbot ( plus40 Euro) mit Zusatzbett(plus 25 Euro) und das Frühstück für das Kind auch noch berechnete, sodass der Aufenthalt von 2 Nächten den ursprünglichen Preis um rund 140 Euro überstieg und teurer war als im Hotel der gehobenen Kategorie.
