Chateau de Chailly 50 km from Beaune in Burgundy claim to offer top accomodation, dining and golf. The price/performance of the place is not good. Rooms are spacey, with nice bathrooms, but have only low price air conditioning, so noisy it can not be on during nights. Dining is good, but very pricy, ranging from 60 Euro for a normal 4 course dinner to 120 Euro for a Deluxe meal. The golfcourse is nice, but not spectacular. It was a major disappointment that the fairways were totally burnt down and brown in colour. This was because of the draught this year in Burgundy (and they are not allowed to irrigate). However, no mention of this state of the course is found on the website (all pictures there are of a lush, green course). Staff is impersonally courteous, but does not take kindly to criticism. Overall, a typical French experience: Overpromise - Underdeliver.
