Super accueil dans un super lieu

 Arriver au château de Vaulx est un moment de grand plaisir. Je ne sais si le plus charmant est l'accueil ou le lieu

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?"

Un pur moment de bonheur

Week-end de la pentecôte morne et pluvieux mais la vie de château au pied de la cheminée nous a fait oublier l'ennui et la pluie. On se prend à rêver dans cette demeure d'autrefois décorée avec goût. Un pur moment de bonheur qui a passé beaucoup trop vite. Rencontres réussie et très conviviale autour de la table du petit déjeuner. Le soir table d'hôte au pied de la cheminée du salon dans

une atmosphère et un décor digne de l'époque romantique! Repas délicieux grâce à Marty qui cuisine divinement bien et surtout. Un accueil plus que parfait qui nous donne l'impression d être chez un ami. Une très très bonne adresse et une endroit de rêve loin du stress et de la folie urbaine.
