Chateau des Grotteaux Près Chambord

與眾不同的美好酒店體驗！這是個有幾十畝地草坪個和樹林的約500年歷史的小古堡酒店，熱情的服務人員和城堡主人。房間安靜整潔舒適備品法國原產。早餐不錯，本地水果好吃。城堡裏都是古蹟裝飾品，濃重的歷史感。大門平時緊閉，也不同於一般的酒店，到店前需要跟酒店郵件電話提前聯繫，拿到大門進門密碼，按密碼後大門自動打開，比較有意思。

Chateau des Grotteaux is a truly special property, it was quite a treat to experience staying there. All of the original architectural and design details have been preserved and it is fascinating to see them and explore its history. The current owners, Gael and Cecile, have done a meticulous renovation. The interior design is beautiful and they are wonderful hosts. Our room was luxurious and comfortable and breakfasts were delicious. We highly recommend staying at Chateau des Grotteaux and hope to stay there again.

The highlight of our six weeks in France culminating with a week visiting the Loire chateaux was our three-night stay at Chateau des Grotteaux. We chose the chateau because of it's proximity to Chateau de Chambord and it's elegantly furnished rooms, but what made our stay most memorable was the gracious hospitality of our very affable hosts Gael and Cecile du Halgouet. We felt very special and simultaneously like family. Gael's excellent tour of the chateau transported us back centuries with its historical connections to Chateau de Chambord. The breakfast, augmented by Cecile's home-made baking, was sumptuous and our accommodations in the chapelle were extremely comfortable. Riding our bikes from the park-like setting of the chateau, down the country lanes to Chateau de Chambord was a real treat and highly recommended for riders who are transporting their own bikes. We would also like to thank Eleanor, an art history major who helped manage our visit, for her wonderful support. In summary, our tour of Chambord was totally enhanced by our stay at Chateau des Grotteaux which is the dream that this wonderful family of note-worthy French lineage loves to share with their visitors.

Spend a weekend at a chateau in the Loire - hard to find anything that sounds much better than that! But this exceeded expectations. The property itself is lovely and genuine, but what really makes it is the hosts. The owners were essentially a fantastic concierge service - they gave us great advice both before and during our stay on what to do in the area and then helped us carry it out. We speak a bit of French, but their English is perfect and so language was definitely not a barrier. They recommended restaurants, found a guide for a tour of Chambord, and tried mightily to find some wine tasting for us on a Sunday afternoon (when all wineries are closed). They also spent nearly two hours giving us a fascinating tour of the chateau. I would definitely recommend and also return!

Staying at Château des Grotteaux was like stepping into a dream! The castle is absolutely stunning, with its classic French architecture and beautiful grounds that make you feel like royalty. The rooms are elegant, with a perfect mix of historical charm and modern comfort.

Host was not only hospitably but also very knowledgeable on the local history and Chateaux's history. Breakfast was a treat everyday. Property was beautiful. Rooms extremely comfortable. No AC not an issue even for August. Would glad visit again and recommend to others.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Cécile et Gaël, Tout était parfait, Nous retiendrons plus particulièrement la gentillesse et disponibilité de nos hôtes, l’excellent petit déjeuner, la beauté du lieu empreint d’histoire et la décoration délicate et raffinée, la literie très confortable et le calme qui y régnait. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés et serions ravis de passer un prochain séjour aux Grotteaux !

Gaël and Cecile are truly the most gracious hosts. We so enjoyed meeting them, and Gaël had wonderful recommendations in the area. The restaurant recommendations sent beforehand are particularly helpful, as are the activity recommendations. Gael was so kind to set up a private wine tasting in the cellar for us (we weren’t staying on a Wednesday, when it is typically held), and we very much enjoyed. The pool is lovely and has great drink options (water, soda, wine, beer). We loved the Poseidon room. Very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Remember that the chateau is a listed building, which means it does not have AC. We had a fan in our room, which helped a lot, and the temps dropped into the upper 50s at night in late July/early August (a heat wave with temps approaching mid to upper 80s during the day). Just something to remember. Our bathroom was huge and had a great shower. We particularly appreciated the drying rack in the bathroom to dry towels, bathing suits, etc. For planning purposes, check in is typically 4-7p. Great location and is about 10 minutes to Chambord, 20 to Cheverny, about 1 hour to Villandry (if here in August, don’t miss Night of A Thousand Candles), 50 minutes to Chenonceau. We loved our stay at the chateau and hope to return! Would highly recommend.

We found the Chateau Grottaux on the Internet and didn't know what to expect. We were extremely surprised how beautiful the castle and the whole area is. The owners take great care of their guests and try to make their stay as pleasant as possible. The rooms are large and some of them are furnished in antique style; our room Zeus had old paintings from the castle's original period on the walls. The swimming pool is a dream; we will never forget our morning swim - all alone in a large pool. The breakfast is lovingly prepared and leaves nothing to be desired. Overall, we can only recommend the stay; it's a pity we were only there for such a short time. Good luck to the owners!
