What more could you ask for?

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?

Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay, September 2011

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 to

explain 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.

Wir kamen, sahen und blieben.

Wegen der Gastfreundschaft und der guten Küche von Marty, wegen der tollen Lage und wegen dem schönen Ambiente und der vielen Möglichkeiten, sich zu entspannen. Deswegen kommen wir immer wieder - nächstes Jahr sicher zum vierten Mal in Folge. Das wissen wir heute schon. Les Quatres Nous aus Heidelberg und Basel, www.tripadvisor.com, UwJ, Bâle, 31 octobre 2013
