Château de Chantore

very good, happy with this arrangement.

Chateau Chantore is a step back in time when minor royalty lived in extensive grounds. Bernard and Inake are passionate collectors of Louis XI art and artefacts. The public spaces are filled with furniture, portraits, ceramics and other collections. Certainly not a place for young children to run around. We were met, after some delay by Inake, who read out a list of dos and don'ts including specific parking instructions. By the time he finished, we felt really nervous! Our room and the massive bathroom,on the first floor (no lift) was spectacular with views of the grounds and horses in the paddock. At breakfast next day, the other partner, Bernard presided and presented breakfast - I say presented because he didn't just slap some food down but made every course seem like theatre. While the food items are not very different from a typical continental breakfast, the service, at a large communal table was exceptional. He also takes a keen interest in your day and is ready with suggestions and tips. A walk around the English gardens is a must. A memorable stay - a quibble would be the horny peacock on the grounds who would give out his mating call, startling you awake from your dreams. (Horses, white swans and 4 pea hens are fellow denizens in the Chateau grounds)

We unfortunately only stayed one night at this amazing castle, but it was a memorable one! The castle is fantastically well restored and the owners care about the smallest detail. It is a huge "wild" garden that you can walk in, with beautiful plants, horses, swans and peacocks. The breakfast was personal, wonderfully good and served by the owners. If you want to live and feel the beat of history - live here!

Unique B&B - a real castle This B&B is quite unique. The castle is carefully restorated both externally and internally. The owners collect objects from the 18 and 19 centrury which decorate the castle in a very time tipycally way. The park outside is partly like a wild djungle and includes foreign trees. The hosts are the castle owners, who cares a lot about our experience and helps us with restaurant booking etc. The breakfast is fantastic! It is not a buffe. Everything is served by the table and most things are locally produced. Me and my whife can highly recommend this B&B!
