“Unbelievable!!!!”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

What a thrill to stay in a chateau lovingly restored and with such an auspicious history. The hosts are fully committed to the ongoing restoration and will show you around the Royal Suites and some parts of a chateau not usually seen by visitors. Both hosts are exceptionally welcoming, and speak perfect English. The breakfast are great and with couple... More

“AWESOME”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

We stayed two nights with the whole family including a baby. Everything was perfect. There were toys for our two older kids in their room. Their beds and our were comfy. Breakfast was delicious. There was a huge library with old books available to us. Hosts were fantastic. We would have stayed there longer.

We thank you for bringing your children to our place, so far away from your's. Such a place is all about sharing and transmission and the children are always very much ready to get feeded... More

“A Royal experience in France”

Reviewed 27 October 2012

Saint Saturnin – a Royal experience. Our choice of overnight destinations is often influenced by the ILA hotel website – their properties are generally excellent. And so we chose the Chateau de Saint Saturnin, after seeing it on www.ila-chateau.com Only in France can one so easily stay in wonderful, historic Castles, and this is because French tax-laws allow owners more...

“Another lovely stay”

Reviewed 28 September 2012

We stopped overnight at the chateau, as we had enjoyed our previous visit so much. The ambience is lovely, as the hosts are so friendly and helpful. We ate at the local auberge in the evening, having an excellent meal (we both had the 4-course menu). Breakfast at the chateau was also delicious, with various home-made or local products. We...

We stayed for a couple of nights recently. You're meant to call in advance to get the entry code but we forgot.

The bathroom is up some stairs with an amazing... More
