Excellent. Stayed just the one night and wish it was longer. Alex got our bags into the golf buggy and took us to our sensational and large room with modern ensuite. Great dinner in the restaurant and picnic breakfast delivered to our door. Wonderful grounds to walk around. Very relaxing and highly recommend.
We stay in this castle’s room for one night. Alex and his wife were really nice and helpful. We enjoy the garden, the silent castle during night, and the beautiful castle. We are so excited to stay here and we love this experience.
We stayed at Chateau D’Ainay-le-Vieil while traveling through France and loved it! It was the most amazing place to stay and with only 5 rooms you are guaranteed peace and quiet. The rooms were elegant and clean with lovely bathrooms. The chateau was lovely and we enjoyed relaxing in the drawing room but the gardens were the highlight. They were beautiful and the fact we had them to ourselves made it even nicer.
Really a nice castle, the guide did the tour with lots of passion. Tip: please improve/expand the English version of the tour. An audio goude would also be great.
Extra points: for the charge station. Free charging ❤️
The lovely restaurant: food and service are very good!
Unfortunaly the tour is only possible in French. And there are construction works going on. The sound of the builders radio is very loud.
The interieur is nice also is the gardens in the back of the terrain.
Worth seeing, with a nice park, the castle from 14th century encircled by a moat is the most south-located castle in the Valley of Loire. Entry shop with souvenirs and tickets to buy. Nice surroundings. A super guide named Etienne will walk you around through the rooms of the castle. Only for French speaking visitors.
Decent little castle in a region that otherwise offers few interesting things to do. Not as spectacular as in other regions of France (such as the Alsace) or Germany, but still rather picturesque and worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood and are looking for something to do.
Beautiful location, however cafe was full and little shop was closed. We didn't go in the castle as tour was in French only and we had a buggy.
