The team was an absolute joy to work with - they helped us organize every detail of a long weekend with friends at Chateau. They recommended caterers, cooking classes, horse back riding, wine tasting, scheduling - no detail was overlooked! They were patient, kind, incredibly organized, and a pleasure to organize the weekend with. I highly recommend their services. The chateau was jaw-droppingly beautiful - we did not want to leave and will likely be back! Cannot recommend hosting your event here more.

I always knew getting married in a French Chateau was going to be unforgettable but the Chateau is a truly magical place. I spent months researching other Chateau\'s and nothing came close to it. The size of it and history really blew me away and meant all of our guests could be together for the whole week. Not only is the Chateau restored and kept beautifully the grounds are truly spectacular. The tree lined alley is truly a majestic place. I knew from the minute I saw it on photographs that I wanted my ceremony to take place there. It didn\'t disappoint, the sun was sparkling through the trees and bats were flying around! I will never forget it. It was the perfect setting to say \'I do\'.The most important thing for us was when planning our wedding was that we didn\'t want a package wedding which you find a lot when getting married abroad. We wanted the freedom of creating our own wedding with our own style and at Chateau Elegant the opportunities are endless. The grounds are so huge and varied, you can have your wedding as unique as you like. We also like to party and didn\'t want anyone telling us we had to turn the music off or down by a certain time. Another plus to book this place was that the Chateau manager Tiphaine is also a wedding planner. It gave me confidence to trust her as she knows the place and area inside and out, she has a huge suppliers list that she has experience working with and she was amazing at negotiating great prices for us (in French). We couldn\'t of done it without her. She was patient and organized and went above and beyond her position to help not only plan the wedding day but the wedding week! She helped us organize many activities during our stay which wasn\'t an easy task when your trying to manage 55 people who keep changing their minds every other day! She was fantastic, I cannot recommend her enough and I will miss our Skype calls and emails. I had guests coming from all over the world so it was great having Poitiers international airport 60minutes away and the train station for links from Paris. The place is perfect and has everything you need. My guests were blown away by the chateau, the children had a fantastic time everyone said it was one of the best week of their lives and some even said it was the wedding of the century! It is a wonderful place and I know we\'ll be back again to visit in the future.

My husband and I visited the Château with our 4 young children. Upon first approaching, we were amazed at the grandeur of the property. It sits on 22 acres of beautiful landscape and the building design looks like something in a fairy tale. The bedrooms and reception rooms are impeccably decorated with a mix of modern and traditional decor that really suits. It is the ideal way to experience French living. We like to keep the children busy during the days and there was plenty to do. On the sunny days, the children played on the trampoline and exploring the vast number of nooks on the vast property. A short drive away are the Villandry gardens and a wonderful zoo. On the other days we visited the Aquarium and did walking tours in the nearby historic chateaus. There was something to do around town every day of our two weeks there! In the evenings, we enjoyed a mix of some elegant, Michelin starred restaurants and some casual family style restaurants. There is a large selection of shops and restaurants within walking distance from the chateau or just a short drive away. Of course, eating out is not really necessary when you have the in-house couple looking after you. The cooking was top quality. Home cooked meals here take on a whole new meaning. Both of them took wonderful care of our entire family - preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner as needed, keeping the place clean and well stocked. We felt well looked after. Overall, our 2 weeks here flew by and we have such great memories. There was something for everyone in every kind of weather. This is holiday destination that can't go wrong. We recommend it highly.

We have travelled extensively in France and I can't recommend the Chateau highly enough. We spent one week there in mid-August and we were all so impressed that I felt compelled to write this review.

LOCATION

Not far from Tours (therefore more accessible from the UK than many places further South but also I imagine better weather than Normandy), it is very easy to find with many local places of interest to visit. Unlike many rentable chateaux, although it enjoys wonderful grounds and an outstanding pool, it is within ten minutes walk of the beautiful historic village of Langeais.

CHATEAU

The Chateau itself is very well laid out, comfortable and luxurious with many gorgeous rooms where I can imagine a larger group having cocktails or a wonderful (20 seat) dinner. The rooms are very large, tastefully decorated in French chateau style with modern bathrooms. Overall, I think Chateau would be ideal for a large family celebration. I would love to return in a big group and there are plenty of activities apart from the wonderful pool to fill more than a few days (boules, table tennis).

FOOD

The two dinners we had at the chateau which were the surprise: unlike many French chateaux, where the guardien and his wife are on hand to cook very traditional country French food, the food is easily comparable to the best restaurants in London, with many of the ingredients sourced from the chateau's own vegetable garden, cooked in a thoroughly modern and fresh manner. If you visit, I urge you to spend some evenings sitting outside eating their amazing cooking. Overall, a wonderful place to stay for a family or a group of friends. Highly recommended.
