Château de Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet

Passionate about period residences, we chose this castle for a two-day stay. Upon arrival, however, we were told that for us there was no place inside the castle, and they accompanied us to a building annexed to the property. If they had informed us at the time of booking, we would have looked for another accommodation. So, instead, by giving up the stay we would have also lost all the money. It must be said that on the weekend and in a pleasant resort thousands of kilometres from home, with children in tow, we had no choice but to accept or obtorto collo. Thus, we were assigned a large room, in which hygiene and cleanliness were decidedly scarce. No service, the room was not made up, no TV or other amenities. The stay turned out to be decidedly expensive. The courtesy of the innkeeper is of little use if you then sell something different from what you bought, and for the same price. We found dirt in the bed between the mattress and the four-poster cabinet. Who knows how long they haven't got their hands on it. A negative experience during a trip in which we stayed in a dozen castles. The tree-lined path is positive. In any case, it is personal opinion that similar structures are not suitable for housing for figures over € 200 per night as required in this case.

We stayed at the chateau to break up a journey whilst driving down south. . The Chateau is steeped in history, charm and warmth. Our hosts Charles Henri and Sophie, were welcoming, charming and so enthusiastic about the chateau, we even received a guided tour. We have decided to return to the chateau when we are next in France, but for more time than or one night stopover. What a find!

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans un cadre authentique, calme et dépaysant. Le parc est magnifique, le château somptueux. Sa visite par le propriétaire fut un vrai bonheur. Son érudition et son sens du partage de l'histoire du château nous ont comblés. L'accueil par la propriétaire a été chaleureux et décontracté. Cette nuitée était un cadeau de nos enfants, leur choix était parfait. Nous espérons revenir séjourner dans ce magnifique joyau. Merci aux propriétaires pour leur simplicité, leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Bravo pour l'entretien de cet immense domaine.
