We had a marvelous three night stay at Chateau de Fontenay in October of this year. This is a beautiful chateau located on the River Cher and about 10 minutes from Chenonceau, a must-see chateau. Our hostess, Nathalie, was most accommodating and quite knowledgable of the area's attractions and restaurants (excellent English is spoken here!). Our breakfasts were fresh and... More

If I could give Le Chateau de Fontenay 10 stars out of 5 I would. This is truly a magical place. The 4 of us spent 2 nights in 2 rooms in the main house and we were sad to leave. The rooms are modernized with fabulous taste, while keeping much of the charm of a historic mansion. Arrangement was... More
