Chateau de la Villedubois

I Feel Like French Royalty Staying here is both unique and beautiful. I don’t feel as though I’m in a hotel. I feel like a welcomed guest on the estate of French royalty. The very large bedrooms are lovely. If you are traveling in the area, treat yourself to stay here. You will feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to another era. An era designed for a Hollywood movie.

Wonderful anniversary stay Lovely anniversary stay with family (5 and 3 year olds, 11 month old) run by the owners of the chateau. Unique experience, wonderful service and beautiful room, breakfast and grounds. Great for families or couples.

A beautiful family run small château set in park like gardens. We had a large bedroom overlooking the gardens. Throughout the château was beautifully furnished and the service was attentive and friendly. Close to Rennes and also an ideal location for day excursions to Le Mont Saint Michel or Angers and many other noteworthy places.

We can't recommend this wonderful château highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we felt so much at home. There was a wonderful and warm welcome from the splendid châtelaine, and then we fell into the hands of her excellent daughter, Emilia, who keeps this wonderful family home up to a top-notch standard. We stayed in the beautiful and large Le Maître de Brocéliande room, which is gloriously decorated (just loved the wall-paper), and with a really comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. Everything is done to the highest of standards, including a breakfast boasting all the most delicious patisserie as well as a regional speciality, le far breton. However, the most lovely thing of all is how civilised the whole place is. It cannot be easy opening your house to strangers, but I really sense that Emilia and her family really know how to make this work. We were also extremely grateful for being directed to an excellent local restaurant (not easy on a Monday night in provincial France). Our only sadness is that we were only able to stay one night, but that is a problem that is easily rectifiable, as we will certainly be back! The area boasts lots of interesting features and remains relatively undiscovered, so there is a major pretext for a return visit, although to be fair, we'd want to be back just to stay at this château (the other rooms look magnificent too). We wholeheartedly want to spread the word about this divine place, so that others can appreciate the kind of 'accueil' that Emilia offers.

This was our first stay at a ‘chateau’ and it was amazing. The historical mansion filled with antiques was magnificent. The grounds were expansive and were well kept. Hospitality by the family was heartwarming. The rooms were well appointed , spacious and very comfortable. Please know, to get around, one does need a car. Our feeling is that we will be visiting more chateaus in the future.

Le château de la Villedubois est un voyage hors du temps, au calme dans un écrin de verdure. Émilia et sa famille ont su nous faire sentir presque chez nous le temps d’une nuit!
