Chateau des Arpentis

Gentleman who greeted us was pleasant. Property is incredibly large and had amazing character. Our first room had carpet that looked decades old, was badly worn, had the pile packed down and looked tired. We asked if there was a room that was available without carpet and they did accommodate us. The second room was fine but attention to detail was poor: Frayed towels, old bedding, burned out lightbulbs in bedroom and bathroom, tub/shower seemed inexpensive with unstable floor and hand shower mounted on magnetic strip what would not point in right direction. Overall, was a reasonable place to stay but we had expected more for the money.

Un weekend absolument exceptionnel ! Nous avons séjourné au sein d’une chambre située dans une petite dépendance qui est absolument incroyable, spacieuse et extrêmement propre. Le lieu est sublime, et incarne parfaitement l’esprit des châteaux de la Loire. Merci pour ce moment hors du temps.

Chateau stay of my dreams! Beautiful property, rooms, and ideal location. Laurent was very helpful and kind, and the chateau is lovely. Highly recommend!

amazing!

Disappointing This chateau is lovely, with lots of cool details regarding decor. It was underwhelming, however, because it felt like we were staying in someone's house but they were having family over for the holidays and were annoying houseguests. Starting with the good: the bed was comfortable (but not a king sized...really? The rooms are enormous and can easily fit king sized beds...). The bathroom was clean. There were a couple bottles of water for us in the room. Things that could be improved: put King sized beds in these enormous rooms. Clean up the coffee/tea station, if not every few hours than at least overnight (our dirty cups were still there the morning after we had afternoon tea). Provide a breakfast worthy of your heritage. Every hotel I've ever been in in France serves the most amazing breakfast; the one at this chateau was minimal and lackluster, with bad coffee. Provide nicer toiletries. Make the windows open-able for fresh air. These are a few of the details that could make the chateau feel worth the nearly $200 euros per night we paid. Instead, it feels like they are depending on their "chateau" status to attract guests instead of providing top-notch service.

Comfortable Family Adventure! I loved so much about this gem. Kids enjoyed the freedom to walk the grounds, wooden sword fight and use their imaginations! The piano could use some tuning (we are a musical family), but the kids enjoyed learning how to play French pool and practice reading their awesome book collection. Victor Hugo books in French!
