I am sitting by the glorious pool as I write this review. It will be be brief as my wine is waiting. All I can say is that the rooms are absolutely first class, the hosts even better than the rooms, and the dinner last evening exceptional. Accompanied by a great selection of local wines and the meal cooked by... More

Our accommodation was spread over two levels, with the fireplace and lounge area downstairs, huge modern bathroom and wonderful bedroom upstairs. Jerome and Charlotte are great hosts, Jerome is very passionate about local wine (we learnt alot from him!) and Charlotte made great recommendations for... More

We ended up at the Loire Valley Retreat on a spontaneous decision to get out of Paris for a couple of days. What a great decision. Although the drive was a bit farther than I anticipated, it was easy and beautiful. And upon arrival it was a such a treat. Jerome and Charlotte were fantastic, the food was delicious (and... More

My wife, three daughters (two adults, one teenager) and I spent two wonderful nights at the Chateau de Charge. The setting is marvelous, the accommodations first-class, dinner and breakfast delicious and the hosts are delightful. We took both family suites on the second floor. Each was spacious. Combined we had considerably more room than we had anywhere else on our... More

We were a group traveling through France on a work trip and wanted to squeeze as much into an afternoon in the Loire Valley as possible. Arriving at the chateau in bright sunshine,we immediately wished we could stay longer as the rooms are stunning, such good VFM and fantastic attention to detail with everything you need to make your stay...

My husband and I recently stayed at the Loire Valley Retreat for 7 glorious nights. Our accommodations in the detached Boulangerie far surpassed our expectations. The first floor was very large and included a cozy woodburning fireplace, flatscreen TV, mini-fridge stocked with complimentary bottled waters and sodas, plush sofa, table with 4 chairs, coffee maker, electric kettle and an assortment...

We had driven hours south of Paris. After the Forest of Chinon, we drove through the town of Chinon, and now we were in the very rural, pastoral countryside --nothing but fields of yellow and green. Very special. We turned onto a very narrow road, so narrow even two European cars could not pass. We came around a small clump... More

We just spent 4 wonderful days at the Loire Valley retreat (also called Chateau de Charge) and wished we could have stayed longer. Everything mentioned in the glowing reviews is completely true, from the kindness of Jerome and Charlotte to the beautiful castle which combines the charm of the old and the comfort of the new, to the amazing dinners...

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Chateau de Charge. The room was big and cozy, we spent a lot of time cozy in the comfy bed, by the fireplace, or soaking in the big tub. Charlotte and Jerome were wonderful hosts who booked us in for many activities and dinners. Be sure to go on the private... More
