Great experience! Loved having the whole chateau to ourselves and the pool was great in the hot weather.

The chateau is an amazing venue and a piece of French history. Every bedroom was well presented and the place well heated with hot water. Check in - we arrived at 15.00 as arranged and called the caretaker but no response. We opened the chateau gates manually, as the mechanism was broken, to be greeted by a large wymerana dog barking and jumping up and the caretaker running and shouting at us. Subsequently, the dog was also walked around every single room on check in, despite us saying that we do not like dogs. It continued to be troublesome during our stay - barking at anyone, running into the house and kitchen, using the lawn as a toilet, its owner seemingly unable to control it, swearing loudly and punching it. Gil was angry that we didn’t like the dog and told us we could leave. The kitchen ovens did not work. We were told not to use the range as the thermostat was broken but the more modern oven was dangerous and not fixed into its housing, falling forwards when the door was opened and subsequently tripping the electricity, so not usable. Cooking for 13 was difficult without oven space. Overall the house was clean, except for various items in the kitchen and the sink was difficult to clean and use hygienically. The tv room, with sofa seating, is not in the chateau but in the pool building next door. Not all gym equipment worked but the pool was good. Promises that the main gates would be mended and the oven repaired during our stay were not fulfilled.

We had our usual annual family gathering with 3 generations ranging from 1 year old to 75. We used the entire place for a full week. We are very familiar with the quirks of older homes and this was in line with what we expected, particularly for this price point. The owner/caretaker Giles lives on site in a separate building. He was very accommodating albeit a little too present to our taste. The property offers a lot more than in the description: ping pong table, access to the river and it is in the middle of town with easy access to everything. There is no bakery in the village, but there is a bread dispensing machine with surprisingly decent baguettes (even for a French family like ours). Our teenagers had a blast, for little ones it was a little tricky from a safety standpoint and not very relaxing even with a full tile babysitter round the clock, but overall without incident. If you have little ones, know that you’ll be setting a lot of rules and monitor them acutely (there is notably a fountain at ground level (no walls) in front of entrance and the walls of the terrasses are too low to prevent fall during play). Despite setting up ground rules with our kids we had to monitor the little ones constantly (allways needed an adult with them outside). Overall this worked well for our large family and we had a very pleasant stay.

We had up to 20 people staying at the same time. The property worked well for housing and preparing meals for that many people, The rooms were air conditioned and had private bathrooms. This is an old property and has not been completely renovated to modern standards but we found it charming and completely adequate for our needs. Gil, the onsite manager, was very responsive to any concerns that we had and was most pleasant to work with. The children loved the pool and other games available. Especially pleasant was the yard where we sat out in the evening and enjoyed wine and conversation. We became absolutely charmed by this property which provided our family with a lifelong memory and we would happily return again.

We are a multi generational family. The Château catered for all our needs. Each room had it’s own bathroom which was amazing. We all enjoyed the indoor pool and sauna. There was an option for a house keeper which we declined as the house was clean and we were able to maintain its cleanliness. However, we felt that the Château is in need of some repair. We were unable to use the range cooke, although there was an alternative cooker in the back kitchen (no sink in this room) so, moving hot liquids from the back kitchen did prove problematic. Some of the furnishing needs replacing as we found it unusable (sofa’s). Gil was on site each morning checking that our stay was okay, which was appreciate. Overall our stay was positive, our comments are observations and hope that with a little investment the Château will be stunning.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chateau de la Voute for the week – plus points were that all bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms; spacious reception rooms, the grand piano; and the indoor swimming pool was great fun. However :- The main kitchen was not clean. The thermostat on the oven in the main kitchen did not work. . The small kitchen had no sink! Most importantly, the stone sink in the main kitchen was heavily cracked and ingrained with dirt, and therefore not hygienic – it needs to be replaced as a matter of urgency.

We spent two and a half weeks at this Chateau with 14 people in June/July 2019. The Chateau is a great opportunity to see what living in a small French village is like with narrow streets, lush vegetation, and quiet surroundings only interrupted by the chirping of birds and cooing of pigeons. The property has a large number of bedrooms, living space, pool house, and other spaces to spread out. The location is centrally located to dozens of large Chateau/Castles around the Loire valley which makes this a good location to basecamp to visit the area. The property manager is very attentive to details and helped any time there was issues.

The property is impressive but needs a little more TLC. The person on site, Gil, is wonderful and made our stay a real pleasure. You might initially think that renting a chateau is a little over the top but if you have children and grandchildren, the numbers quickly reach 12 people. You need a large kitchen, dinning room and reception room to seat everyone. As well, the indoor pool occupies a lot of time and energy of the grandchildren. This is essential to maintaining one's sanity over a 7 day period.

This Chateau was everything we had hoped for and more. Its a really happy building, the rooms are spectacular and very comfortable - spacious and there is a bathroom in every room which is very unusual for a building of this type. The reception rooms are stunning but it was so warm and lovely that we hardly needed to be inside. Everyone who came to stay was blown away by the charm and space. The kitchen is split into two but is fantastically well equipped. There's even a fridge freezer with ice and chilled water dispenser! If you have a pianist in your group, get them to bring their music, as the acoustics in the sitting room with the grand piano are fabulous. The outside areas are fabulous - beautiful, rambling walled garden - with lots of quiet spaces if you need to get away from it all. Huge amounts of outbuildings and the swimming pool was a perfect temperature. Our dogs loved it! The owner stays on site in the gate house, with his beautiful Weimaraner, Eros, which means that any problems (we didn't have any) could be very easily sorted. The lovely Claudine, the housekeeper, visits every weekday morning, so it almost felt like being in a very relaxed self catering hotel. A couple of little restaurants in the village - and its beautiful to explore. Only downside with the village is no boulangerie (but there is a baguette dispensing machine!), but all our guests loved popping into the local town (5 min drive) to try the different boulangeries and explore the market (Weds, and Saturday, I think, but ask). Lots of wineries in the area. This is the Loir valley (without an 'e'), and in my opinion its prettier, easier to access and the wine and the chateaux are on a par with its bigger brother (with an 'e'). We took our bikes and had great fun exploring the region - it was amazing. The TGV station from Paris is about 30min from the chateau, so its super easy for friends to arrive by different modes of transport (easy 3 hr drive from Caen ferry). Would be a magical place to get married! And perfect for arranging a big get together of lots of friends - we took it in turns cooking. There is LOADS of freezer space, so when we visit again, we will probably each bring a pre-cooked meal and bung it in the freezer. We totally loved our stay and we can't wait to return to this very special place in a beautiful region. Thanks to Gil, Eros and Claudine for making us so welcome, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
