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

Truly a Special Place

We have been fortunate enough to travel fairly extensively and have stayed at some very unique proprieties. Chateau de Vaulx will always have a special place in our memories. It is a blend of elegance, history and warmth seldom found. The day we arrived, there was a concert in the garden (a brass quintent). The organizers were dressed in white with straw hats that had wide green ribbons.

Although we arrived in the midst of this event, the owner, Martin, found time to welcome us and serve us fresh drinks after our drive. The concert was delightful. Our room was a suite with 2 bedrooms and a recently renovated bathroom with a nice shower. There was a balcony with magnificent views of the valley and villages below. The bed linens were top quality. Toiletries are not provided, so we stocked up at nearby store. Breakfast was included in the price, and a nice table with cheese, yogurt, ham, croissants and jams was laid out. The region is amazing, full of quaint villages and stone farmhouses. There are many excellent restaurants in the region. The region, while full of attractions, is not crowded or touristy, which is very nice. The highlight of the Chateau is Martin´s warmth and expertise. He is very attentive and nothing seems to be a bother for him. It is incredible to see the work he has put into the Chateau, all fabrics, paint and furniture selected with great care. I hope one day we can go back again.

Fantastic Accommodation and hospitality

We stayed as a stop over on the way back from Fréjus, South of France. Marty is a fantastic host, the children ate before us and went off up to bed leaving us to have a feast of restaurant standard food with the other guests and plenty of wine. Our room was great, full of character, clean and really comfortable. The chateau is wonderful with grounds to peruse at your leisure and impressive

views across the valley. Marty could not do enough to make us feel welcome and during our short stay nothing was too much trouble (our three children are quite demanding) - well worth the money, if we get the chance we will definitely be back.
