Château de Perreux, The Originals Collection

In a word. A complete dump. Run down. Filthy. Dilapidated. Filthy lobby. Slime laden pond in the front of the place. Broken furniture with filled cigarette ashtrays. Rude help and nasty owner. The website is fake. We are fighting with “Essential Europe” in an effort to get a refund as we would not stay there and had to seek other accommodations. Stay away.

My husband and I have traveled the world, and this ranks as the "weirdest" place we've ever stayed. Aside from the fact that the road is closed from the direction "maps" usually leads people, we finally found a route to this hotel. It looks like a typical chateau... picturesque and surrounded by beautiful green grounds. Upon checking in, we were led to our room in the turret, which was so hot, that we were really sweating before even unpacking. We went down to the front desk, and the nice staff told us they had one cool room in an unfinished part of the chateau, which was built on the side of the mountain, with cave walls. Sensing we would not be getting a refund, we were led by a very nice lady (who carried our large suitcases for us) through construction, cobwebby circular staircase, jumped down a little hill, and finally got to our room. It was definitely cool/cold, felt wonderful, was new construction with beautiful paint, an in-room sauna, a kitchen, and a balcony with a hot tub and table. Although it was wonderfully cool, it was also damp and there were some ants, since it was actually stone ceiling and walls. The lady who cleans and helped with luggage is also the cook in the morning, and she is delightful. The dining room is beautiful. After 3 nights, we grew accustomed to the strange, somewhat treacherous trek to our room and had a great time sipping wine on our private balcony and laughing.

stay in a real chateaux. Worth place to stay for a couple of days while visiting the chateaux sur loire.

Amazing place to stay! The rooms are more than comfortable, the Chateau is beautiful, and the staff is excellent and helpful.

Fantastic Castle in région de La Vallée de la Loire. Plenty of Castles to visit inthe nearounds, this one is perfect to spend time and its owner Mr. Olivier is an expert in the art of explaining ineteresting facts about this part of France

What an incredible gem in the loire valley. If you want a very beautiful chateau experience this is the place to be. We went during their shoulder season (November) and it was quiet and lovely. Although there weren’t many amenities open during this time we were treated really well and the owner Olivier provided us with transport options and dining recommendations in the area. The staff were so so nice and accommodating. Olivier shared some stories about the chateau and answered the million of questions we had with enthusiasm. We were exposed to the teams absolute passion for the property. The interior is stunning with a perfect blend of original fixings and new design. The rooms itself was simple with gorgeous views all around. The bathrooms were modern and everything was very clean and well kept. What a wonderful chateau experience!
