Ce qu'ils en pensent | What they think
Expansive and spectacularly memorable
"Another magical visit. We arrived in pouring rain, but what better consolation than to be welcomed by our warm-hearted host, Marty, and invited to cosy up by an enormous roaring fire before being served a candle-lit dinner in the gorgeous drawing room? Next day the sun came out and we were able to marvel at the wildflower meadows cascading down from the avenue of limes
overlooking the rolling charolais landscape. Our fellow-guests that evening were a delightful young couple who became engaged on the terrace, and I can think of no more perfect little piece of heaven in which to receive a proposal! Thanks Rosie. What an amazing find! We were thrilled by our visit and long to return.
Just before we arrived we had a slight accident involving a local motorist and - our French not being quite up to the occasion - we asked her to accompany us to the chateau to get help in translation. Marty was quite wonderful, smoothing ruffled feathers and charming everyone with so much warmth, kindness and impish humour that we all relaxed, and instead of it spoiling our holiday we felt so looked after that we look back on our visit as a highlight of our trip. Everything about Marty and the chateau is expansive and spectacularly memorable, and the love and flair with which he and Thierry have restored, decorated and furnished their home is heart-warming, as is the generosity with which they share it. The far-reaching views from their hill-top avenue are glorious: it would be very tempting to return and see their wonderful garden and grounds in all the different seasons. Add to that a charming landscape dotted with mellow old villages and Romanesque churches, grazed by charolais cattle and alive with birdsong: what more could you ask for?"

A little sneak of what paradise could be like!
Our second stay at this stunning chateau - we simply had to come back and arranged our camping trip to France this year to be able to do just that! We stayed again for one night on our way home from our holiday further south in France and - was it as good as we remembered? No, it was even better!
A chateau with such style and ambience created by its wonderful host Marty and his team.
On arrival, we were immediately made to feel welcome and were able to relax in the grounds with a glass of wine to take in the stunning views from all around. The addition of a swimming pool available to guests this year is just more than fantastic and we enjoyed a swim before going off for an evening meal locally, (booked for us by Marty). We stayed in the suite Choiseul which was perfect for us - two adults and our 14 year old daughter. The room has a very large en suite bathroom and separate sleeping areas (one double bed in one area and twin beds in the other area - (so able to sleep 4 very comfortably).
We took breakfast in the large dining room around the table and had everything we could have possibly wanted.
Sadly we had to leave - but not before we were able to look at the latest Chateau de Vaulx development - the Gîte Damas, again superb elegance and such space! Definitely now looking for a time we can come back for a stay here too.

Excellent
This place is stunning inside and out. Lovely views of the surrounding area, beautiful furniture and art everywhere. Excellent meals. Marty is a charming host. This part of Burgundy deserves more visitors than it gets, but that is good for those who do come because you don't see many tourists.
We enjoyed visiting Chateau de Dree and Chateau de Digoine-- both magificent with fine gardens. We had an outstanding lunch at Restaurant de la Poste in Poisson. Highly recommended.
