“Excellent cuisine but rooms are average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We have visited the Chateau several times over the years and during our trip last year with friends, we detected a slight shift of focus away from being a hotel destination to a top class restaurant with rooms. The restaurant is indeed excellent and the service generally quite good. Chatting with the staff (who I found friendly), it became clear that the money is in the restaurant service - particularly serving the locals, business lunches etc and of course weddings and other functions. The hotel side is really just for "les touristes". Given the economic circumstances worldwide, this approach is understandable.

Some of the bedrooms could do with a makeover and there are quirks - the only tiny wardrobe in ours was full to the rafters with spare bedding covers - in July! We removed them from the wardrobe (which we really needed to use) to a chair by the linen cupboard on the landing but they were returned the next day to clutter up our bedroom again! We did find the housekeeping to be a bit haphazard. On the whole though, the bathrooms are clean, bright and have been modernised in recent years.

If your priority is fine cuisine rather than plush accommodation, then you will find the Chateau and its gardens perfect for a short stay.

Room Tip: Avoid the rooms overlooking the road.

“A Chateau with modern stuffs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

The chateau was very easy to find with a GPS nav, but the name in GPS was "Baulieu".
The place is very romantic, silency and the food is great. The room decoration has a Provence style, but the bathroom is modern with bathtube and hairdryer. The place has the charm of a castle and the facilities of a boutique hote.
The only bad thing was the wirelless, it's free, but works only in the lobby. The very best is the price, very reasonable.

“absolutely beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel is simply beautiful. There are two buildings, we stayed right in the Chateau so I can't comment on the other building. Our room was amazing, the windows looked over the grounds, there was a vanity table in front of one window where I sat like a princess while I finished getting ready each morning. Definitely appropriate as this hotel leans more towards the upscale end of the spectrum. The room was enormous! The decor was very charming and everything was clean clean clean! My only complaint was that, as an American, I'm still not used to no shower doors/no shower curtain in the shower room -- but whatever, I'm the American who must conform to the European ways, not the other way around as many of my cohorts unfortunately believe. Other than that, everything at this hotel is simply wonderful. The restaurant has the most amazing food, and it seems that it is a highly regarded restaurant in the area, it was full each night but not just with guests from the hotel. The gardens and grounds are beautiful, one morning I went around and took a bunch of pictures, there are manicured shrubs and a fountain. The staff were also extremely helpful.

“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed for six nights and booked from the website. The chateau was very hard to find even with a sat nav. Level of friendliness was very poor. In the six days no member of staff ever engaged us in conversation other than say hello when we walked in and goodbye when we were leaving and what did we want for breakfast.(we do speak French) We were misled on wifi connections. Staff were very friendly to some guests but not to others. No sitting area in the chateau. all 'public' areas are dedicated to dining or function facilities. Frankly guests seem to be an inconvienence to the staff. We stayed in the Pavillion which is not a bit like it appears on website. It was dark and cold even though outside temperatures were in the high 20s. Definitely not a place to return to.

“Beautiful place....but hard to find & poor service!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We reserved 2 rooms for the night of June 20 while touring the Loire Valley. Pictures looked wonderful on the website. The address is misleading! This place is actually located in "Joue-Les-Tours", not Tours, and hidden on a hard-to-find hill. After being lost for a couple of hours, we arrived at 9 o'clock in the evening, hungry & tired. The reception desk turned us down for the dinner service even it didn't look that busy in the dining room. Closest restaurants, as recommended by the desk, are not within the walking distance and we were too tired to venture out in a strange town. They finally sent a couple of cheese trays & bread, at the cost of 16 euros, after we "begged" them. We definitely will not return to this so-called chateau in the future!!
