We spent a week in Valerie and Jeans beautiful chateau. 6 kids and 8 adults.
The grounds are well maintained and there is a trampoline, ping-pong and ample space to play badminton, boule etc. The pool is a good size and heated.
The chateau has a well equipped kitchen and possibility to do laundry, which is great when traveling with kids. The bedrooms are quite large, some of them with ensuites. Comfortable beds. The kids loved the little tv room, and set up their switch there, nice little hideaway from the adults.
The chateau is set up for large groups inside and outside, there is ample seating and areas to sneak away to if you should need a break.
You could choose to just stay at the chateau and enjoy yourself or use it as a base for exploring the area. There is a lot to see and activities to parttake in the surrounding area - however you do need a car.
Valerie has been a great host, clear and quick communication, check in & out process handled professionally. The only advice I would give them for the future is to make arrangements for the damage deposit to be handled through the booking platform. This for convenience and security. We made an international bank transfer,as checks are not in use in Norway. Had no issues with that, other than a currency loss when returned to us.
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your chateau. We wish you the best of luck in the continuous job to maintain and restore it, for future generations to enjoy. Recommend a visit!
