My husband and I stayed at this Chateau for 4 days. The location is beautiful; our room nice as was the bathroom; the bedding clean and crisp. We dined - as guests - with Adriaan and Joke. The table beautifully laid with attention to detail. The food cooked by Joke was excellent and well presented. The wines served by Adriaan... more

We recently returned to Chateau de la Villaine for our second visit after enjoying visiting this chateau with friends last year. This time we were travelling on our own and chose this as the place to recover after our flight from Sydney to Paris. We picked up a car at the airport and had a leisurely drive down to Esvres... more

We have just returned from yet another wonderful visit to Joke and Adriaan's beautiful Chateau de la Villaine. The Chateau is wonderful, decoration enchanting, grounds stunning - but mostly there are not enough words to describe the welcome and consideration. From Adriaan's knowledge of the local places to visit and the local wines, to Joke's amazing cookery, we always have... more

August 2009 we stayed two nights in Chateau de la Villaine. The owners Adriaan and Joke made us feel like home. Our bedroom (the Empire room) was excellent and the antique bed a dream on it’s own. Excellent breakfast with home made jam/marmalade. The table d’hote was a real treat. Excellent cooking, nice company and wine! The perfect place to... more

We had a perfectly enjoyable three-night stop there while attending a wedding nearby and the Chateau is a beatuiful place but we did come away feeling a bit like naughty schoolchildren. The hosts are very nice, giving us a key to get in... more

Adrian and Joke made our stay so memorable. We felt like we were part of the family and were treated to wonderful, multi-course dinners, all matched with delicious wines from the region. Adrian explained each wine served, and Joke described each course as it was brought out. Really wonderful. It was an "Enchanted April" experience. The location is also great... more

This is one of the nicest, most relaxing places I have ever stayed in. Our hosts Adrian and Joke were unstinting with their time and advice. The food and conversation at dinner was one of our highlights in France. Adrian's knowledge of the Chateaux and especially the vinyards in the loire ensured we got to visit the places we most... more

We just returned from a fabulous trip to France with our children. We spent the first 3 days at Chateau de la Villaine and enjoyed every minute. The owners hospitality was comparable to a 5 star hotel. Both Adrian and Joke are extremely knowledgeable about the area; wineries, chateaux not to be missed, etc. They were also incredibly accommodating to... more
