Categorically the finest accommodation and hospitality I've ever encountered We stayed just one brief night in the Chateau de Vaulx, as a stop over on the drive back up from the South of France. We had booked a meal, but were heavily delayed on the roads - we rang Marty, the owner, to tell him, thinking that we would have to cancel dinner; but he was very reassuring and kind, told us not to worry, and that we would have dinner whenever we arrived. In the end,we arrived exhausted, with nerves frayed, at half past 9 at night, after 10 hours of hell on the road...and the reception we received was the PERFECT antidote to our appalling day.

Chateau with a view! We stayed at the Chateau de Vaulx in July for two nights on our way to the alps, this lovely rustic chateau is set on top of the beautiful hills of the charollais region, attractions you can visit are Cluny cathedral, vineyards in Macon, and the burgundy region. We stayed in the suite Geoffray, which has in my opinion the best view of the hills and villages around. Marty is a superb cook and agreat host, drinks were offered to us on our arrival as a welcome. The breakfast served to us was excellent. This place is perfect to relax and read a book after the hustle and bustle of Paris... Would recommend to anyone!!! Only comment would be fun to have a pool available.www.tripadvisor.com , hematou1, Montréal, Canada, 1 août 2010
Lovely walks around the grounds, definitely recommended We received a very warm welcome from Marty when we arrived at short notice during our "Sawdays Road Trip" from Somerset to Italy. Chateau de Vaulx is a fabulous building that has undergone some serious renovations in recent years. Being a building geek I was fascinated by Marty's account of the works and history of his home. We enjoyed and a delicious breakfast - top service, definitely recommended.Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay, November 2010
A delightful experience We stayed six nights at Vaulx while visiting friends in the area. From the first minute that Marty welcomed us we were home. Our room was charming and well restored. The views in every direction were breath taking. Breakfast was included and it was a full Dutch type rather than French continental.www.tripadvisor.com, archana, le 9 juin 2009
Magnifique Un lieu unique, accueil très sympathique de Marty, décoration superbe, salon au coin du feu, bonne cuisine, nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans ce château et nous reviendrons ! idéalement situé dans la belle campagne charolaise.www.tripadvisor.com , Julien, Paris, 2 novembre 2010
Relaxation with Style We had two wonderful nights at this beautiful hilltop Chateau. This fabulous building has been restored with a great deal of love and attention to detail. It is stylish, welcoming and full of history. Our room was stunning, the sitting room with roaring fire was a peaceful haven and the views are magnificent. We were very well looked after by our host Vince who made us feel totally at homeand did everything to make our stay relaxing and memorable. We were so impressed with everything Chateau de Vaulx had to offer and we will certainly return.www.tripadvisor.com, London, November 23, 2008
A faultless visit We spent three sumptuous nights at Chateau de Vaulx. We were warmly met by host Marty who is greatly blessed with the gift of hospitality. No request was too difficult - breakfast was arranged on the terrace with warm breads, cheeses, and confitures and a stunning view - Marty booked lunch for us at a nearby Michelin-starred restaurant. The room was tastefully and romantically furnished and the grounds are a delight. We enjoyed a faultless visit.Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay, September 2010
What a find this place was! We loved the Chateau de Vaulx. Located in the Charolais-Brionnais region of France, this wonderfully funky chateau is a perfect place for a romantic getaway. Still in the process of being restored, the available rooms are very large and clean with wonderfully updated bath facilities. We stayed in "La chambre Duchêne" which was very nice. Marty, the host and co-owner, is delightful and so willing toexplain the history of the Chateau and the restoration process. The scenery from the grounds was breathtaking, even on a rainy spring day. We would also recommend table d'hôtes -- Marty is an excellent cook -- with dinner served in the dining room with other guests. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing our meal with a delightful Dutch family. Breakfast is also served in the dining room and was very good.www.tripadvisor.com, Gold Beach, Oregon, 20 juillet 2008
Marthy is the founder of hospitality During our summer holiday we stayed four days on the chateaux. This is the perfect example of how an upper-class chambers d’hôte should work. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good diner good breakfast, romantic and clean rooms. The only disadvantage: not only the guest but also the mosquitoes like Chateau Vault a lot. We will definitely come back.www.tripadvisor.com, Objective5, Zurich, 12 septembre 2010
