Das Chateau ist wunderschön und bietet viel Platz zum abschalten. Wer einen Ort zum entschleunigen, spazieren und wohlfühlen sucht wird hier fündig. Das Schloss selbst ist viel schöner als es die Bilder erwarten lassen. Es ist hervorragend ausgestattet, sauber und gemütlich. Das gleiche gilt für das zugehörige Grundstück, wobei der große - man muss schon sagen Park - an vielen Orten natürlich bleibt. Es gibt viel zu entdecken und der erste Gang durch Gebäude und Außenbereich fühlte sich an wie Tagträumen. Dabei ist der Gastgeber sehr herzlich, super erreichbar da an der nächste Türe, doch dabei so zurückhaltend, dass man den Raum bekommt, den man sich wünscht. Klare Empfehlung!

Expérience au top! Des hôtes à l’écoute qui on bien voulu déplacer notre séjour car mes filles avaient le Covid. Le tout à leur frais car Abritel a fait le mort. Je vous conseille de louer directement sur le château de la Raffe. Un lieu extraordinaire dans un jardin magnifique avec une piscine naturelle. Un vie de château a prix plus que raisonnable.

Wir haben einen Kurzurlaub mit der ganzen Familie in diesem wunderschönen Chateau verbracht. Die Wohnung im Seitenflügel ist sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche könnte ein bisschen größer sein, ist aber gut ausgestattet. Dafür ist der Wohn- und Essbereich sehr geräumig. Toll sind die beiden Sitzgelegenheiten vor und hinter dem Haus, die wir je nach Sonnenstand genutzt haben. Der Park ist riesig und sehr schön und lädt zu Spaziergängen ein. Die Vermieter sind nett und hilfsbereit. Diese Ferienwohnung ist wirklich etwas Besonderes, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und ich kann sie nur Wärmstens weiter empfehlen!
