The feel of home

How to feel right at home in a beautiful chateau! Marty of Chateau Vaulx makes it all so simple. You are immediately part of the family and welcomed with open arms into the most magnificent abode that somehow retains a feeling of home. Elegantly furnished with an understated charm that you know must have come at an enormous effort but flows seamlessly throughout the house with

taste and warmth. Oil paintings in every nook and cranny that in reality have no connection but all have been welcomed into the family and seem right at home. Baby grand piano just begging for a song, fabulous gardens awaiting your camera lens to capture the grandest shot at every turn, three generations of friendly canine welcoming you to their home and the family. And the food! Marty has a real talent in the kitchen outside of his gregarious welcoming character. Seemingly effortless arrays of food come sashaying into the dining room on the arms of Marty and his staff, all created with love and creativity, all shared with a changing roster of equally contented visitors willing to share experience and local finds with other overlapping guests. There are also tasty choices locally that Marty is happy to direct you to. You'll be very happy in your individually decorated rooms or suites and will always feel you have been given the best room in the house! The views are outstanding from every window. There are lovely chateaux in the area to visit even if you are somewhat outside the Loire Chateux tour, a great stopover in beautiful countryside, well worth the stop and surprisingly restful. Thanks for the memories Marty.

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.

The best place I have ever stayed

Wow. What a bed and breakfast. Marty is the perfect host, making us feel at home, and arranging a light lunch for our 10 year old son as soon as we arrived. We booked in for two sittings of dinner, so that our son could eat early and we could put him to bed and have a grown up dinner in the dining room with our fellow guests. The whole chateau is decorated by interior design expert Marty,

and looks it. Our room was in keeping with the age of the building, interestingly furnished, yet oh so comfy. The modern bathroom appealed after 10 days on a canal boat! The bed linens are divine. My only regret is that we booked in for just a single night stay. The surrounding area is beautiful and I would have loved to have stayed longer at this beautiful place and be spoiled. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful; croissants, yoghurt, ham, cheeses, juice, tea, coffee. The dinner was fine-dining standard. The best place I have ever stayed.
