Le Chateau de La Tourlandry - Puy du Fou

I tend to base reviews and stars on key criterion such as Bed Comfort, quality of breakfast, and friendliness of hosts. So with this in mind... Positives are: Bed was comfortable = 1 star Hosts were friendly and helpful (allowing me to park my motorcycle in the courtyard) = 1 star Breakfast was good = 1 star Negatives are: Shower is neither relaxing or pleasant. The water is powerful and hot but the shower head does not have a holder and thus needs to be held in one's hand. Added to that, the tub that one stands in is like a bucket and water can go everywhere, there is even a sponge supplied to mop up any spillages. I have quite long hair and it was a struggle to wash it while bent over in the bucket to avoid spilling water all across the floor. Apparently, this is 'old fashioned' style ... well I say there is a clear reason why shower cubicles have moved on to be enclosed rooms - to stop leaks and make showering more enjoyable! = -1 star The hotel listing states there is a swimming pool and hot tub. There is no swimming pool. The hot tub is only accessible by payment of 50e for 45 minutes. This is not stated on the listing as an additional charge nor on the website. = -1star Consequently this is a 3 star place and I would neither recommend to a friend or stay at again.

Surpris au premier abord, mais lorsqu’on pousse la grosse porte on se retrouve ailleurs dans un écrin de verdure et d’histoire. Les propriétaires vous explique l’histoire du château et des jardins. L’hôtel est très agréable admirablement restauré. Les propriétaires placent une grande attention à l’expérience d’une nuit dans le château.

Superbe accueil et au petits soins pour notre satisfaction. Le cadre est splendide.

Un séjour inoubliable
