Avis Come and experience the Unique and the Wonderful at the Château du Breuil.

Wir hatten zwei herrliche Wochen in dem Schloss und fühlten uns wie Adlige auf dem Land! Das Schloss ist ausgesprochen liebevoll restauriert, und sehr viele alte Einrichtungsgegenstände sind erhalten geblieben, so dass man sich zurüciversetzt fühlt in vergangene Zeiten. Aber keine Angst - die Küche ist modern und es fehlte uns an nichts! Das Gelände ist sehr weitläufig, ruhig und wunderschön. Wir haben häufig draußen gesessen (in der Sitzecke oder am Tisch, das Schloss hinter uns, vor uns der kleine Fluss) und das Leben genossen. Es gibt einen schönen Pool, man kann Tischtennis oder Tischkicker spielen oder auch Badminton über ein Netz, es stehen Boote bereit, um auf dem Fluss herumzuschippern, oder man kann den Esel und den Ochsen füttern. Tours und etliche Loire-Schlösser sind gut zu erreichen. Die Gastgeberin Anne ist sehr freundlich und herzlich. Wir hatten einen rundum gelungenen Urlaub!

Lovely property and grounds

The apartment was lovely and although grand in style was very homely. Beautiful views across the chateau grounds from all the windows. Well equipped kitchen and laundry room a bonus. The swimming pool area and games room were great and although there were others staying on the estate we rarely saw anyone else. Great location for touring the Eastern Loire area. Lovely welcome from Anne and family.

Die Unterkunft war sensationell. Besser geht es nicht. Der Park, die wunderschönen Räumlichkeiten, einfach unschlagbar. Danke der charmanten gastgeberin.

Beautiful property with great facilities - particularly the swimming pool.

Quirky and unique, created great memories for family. Lovely pool and games room. Friendly owner, we really felt comfortable, the accommodation was seperate and grand enough to feel you had the whole château to yourselves.

Een onvergetelijke week in een deel van het kasteel. Groen, rustig, stil. Zwemmen, kanovaren op de Indre, wandelen op het immense domein. En natuurlijk waanzinnig veel te zien in de buurt. Gastvrouw Anne is een schat. God in Frankrijk? Hier echt, ja.

Ein tolles Domizil mit dem Charme des 19. Jahrhunderts. Hervorragend ausgestattet. Einziges Manko: die Toilette ist auch wie im 19. direkt vor den Räumlichkeiten im Dienstbotenaufgang untergebracht. Dafür duscht man in freistehender Wanne in einem riesigen Wohnbad.

The chateau is impressive, and the grounds delightful, leading directly down to the river Indre, amongst a variety of massive trees and masses of cyclamen (at this time of year). The apartment was in two halves - the first floor (bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen) is great, the real flavour of the traditional chateau, the second floor a bit dull. The whole was very well equipped. A perfect place for a week getting away from it all.

We had an absolutely wonderful 6 days here - the chateau is stunning, and has been beautifully restored. The apartment uses the servants’ staircase (even so it is huge!) and a suite of large rooms on the first and second floors. This means that the children can enjoy their own space away from the parents, and there was a thoughtful selection of Lego, books and toys available for them. The main rooms are spacious and grand, with high ceilings and shuttered french windows with beautiful views over the parkland down to the river, and despite the heat remained cool and comfortable. The bathroom was particularly lovely, and as it was sunny in the morning we often had our coffee there! The kitchen was well equipped and spacious, again with lovely views, and a fantastic coffee machine. I felt that a lot of consideration had been taken to make it convenient and relaxing for guests - even your own laundry room should the need arise - and although there are 2 other gites on the site they are barely visible from the apartment, and there is a private play area with swings etc and a BBQ for your sole use. Ours also loved the donkey, cow and sheep. We always seek out shared facilities as it has been a good way to socialise the children, and long standing friendships have been formed. Given the size of the place you will probably only encounter other guests at the pool, and this was always fun and sociable. The entertainment area has been created from a very ornate stable block (housing the changing room and an under cover area large enough to play badminton) and an orangery (housing 2 table tennis tables, a piano, and table football) plus a grassy courtyard between them for ball games. The pool and terrace was large enough to accommodate everyone without feeling crowded, and there were plenty of benches, recliners and pool toys - water was warm and lightly salty, so it felt more like the sea than a chloriney pool. It was also great to have kayaks and rowing boats freely available for trips on the river which runs alongside the grounds - all sizes of lifejackets are helpfully provided. Excellent location for exploring the Loire region too, and Monts itself (10 minutes walk, less by bike) has a SuperU with petrol station, and a very good pizza restaurant, though the best boulangerie is at the far end of the village so we drove. We will certainly be back!
