Dream castle
A stunningly beautiful house, even better than the photos suggest. We were a group of 16, 11 adults and 5 children, and had a fantastic week just hanging around by the pool, playing games and going out on day trips. We have stayed in several chateaux in the region and this is one of my absolute favourites. A few practical notes that might be helpful for future guests... Communication with the owner Mme Dupont was excellent. I was initially a bit daunted by the paperwork (there is a very detailed inventory!), but the owners are lovely and honest people, just trying to protect their beautiful home and furnishings from reckless guests. If your children are really chaotic, this might not be the house for you! The kitchen is pretty well equipped for a big group, but if you have a particular need for specialist gadgets, bring your own. A note for UK guests - local bakeries tend to close in August so you need to be prepared to drive to get stuff. I would recommend renting bedlinen etc direct from the host rather than through Vrbo, as it works out cheaper.

Castle with wonderful views and awesome history
I am a bit biased as this chateau was the home of one of my ancestors in the 16th century. I took my 85 year old father there with other members of our family for about a week. It was an excellent base for our side trips to Poitiers, Tours and La Rochelle. In several rooms, here are copies of a well researched book (in French) telling the amazing history of the chateau. Richard the Lionheart and his mother Eleanor of Acquitaine stayed here. It can be a bit cool inside during cold weather because of the 15 foot ceilings but the owner warned us by email and we were prepared. There is an excellent fireplace in the dining room and they supplied enough wood for us to have a roaring fire every night. It is the quietest place I have ever stayed. There is no noise except wind and the ravens who live in the donjon (old round tower). The owners do not live on site but communicated (in English) well by email before our visit to supply details. There are small charges to rent bed linens and towels which you reserve in advance (and pay for at the beginning of your stay) and you pay cash for the heating that you use at the end of the visit. Neither of these policies are unusual for rentals in France.

La vie de château
Hormis la cuisine laissée un peu en désordre par les visiteurs précédents, cafetière remplie (!), notre séjour fut très agréable dans une demeure et un environnement ayant beaucoup de cachet; quel plaisir de prendre son petit-déjeuner et ses repas face à un superbe donjon, un très beau châtelet et un joli parc. Nos enfants ont beaucoup apprécié cet environnement plein d'histoire et ont énormément apprécié la piscine, une piscine bien protégée pour les petits.Cela dit nous avons quand même franchi le pont-levis pour profiter des nombreuses attractions à proximité, vallée des singes, Futuroscope, Festival des jeux de Parthenay, Poitiers, Chauvigny.... En bref un très bon séjour apprécié de tous !

An amazing, relaxing time
We were a group of 16, four families + friends. This was our 4th stay at the chateau. It is an incredible place, so relaxing and calm with lots of activities nearby (we did kayaking + karting)
