Chateau des Arpentis

The property is beautifully maintained, from the inspiring gardens to every little detail, surrounded by a truly cinematic landscape. Contrary to what some reviews say, breakfast was impeccable, simple yet chic, refined in every way. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival by a kind gentleman, I believe his name was Laurent, and I would also like to thank the young man who assisted me at breakfast and prepared a delicious hot chocolate. The staff is discreet, and they let you live the experience as if you were truly at home, without interruptions or anything commercial, which makes it even more authentic. I even enjoyed a sunny day by the pool, I was lucky, the weather was just perfect, and walking through the wine cellar to reach it made everything even more charming. It felt like a real tour through the château itself. The linens were of exceptional quality, and the bathroom in my room had a wonderful bathtub, one of the best I have ever enjoyed. Later that evening, I had a glass of wine by the fireplace in the beautiful room that blends music, games and books, surrounded by warmth and charm. The sound of “Fever” by Peggy Lee was waiting on the stereo, as if by fate, and it made the night even more unforgettable. I felt powerful, a true queen of the castle. C’est la magie du château.

I enjoyed everything.

Such a unique chateau in that it was once a hunting chateau. We loved that it was just outside of town so we could have a bit of respite from travel and yet quick drive to dinner. Comfy beds and very clean.

Everything, what a fantastic chateau, nicely decorated with great rooms

The only thing breakfast was not large enough for me, I d recommend breakfast in Amboise

A fantastic chateau experience nearby Amboise. The building and room were lovely with big windows overlooking the grounds. We lingered in bed watching the horses and deer in the park. We were too late in the year to enjoy the pool, but it looked very inviting for warmer weather visitors.

Food options on site other than for breakfast. A note with the room asks guests not to picnic in the rooms, but with a rural location and without a restaurant or bar within walking distance this seems a little restrictive.

Amazing chateau and Laurent the manager is fantastic. It is very close to Amboise and the breakfast option is great. Beautiful grounds and the room was exceptional. I would highly recommend the chateau.

Beautiful country setting

There wasn’t anything we disliked.

Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful with local area ideas

Not Much

Firstly finding the place is a joke, the GPS doesn't work, the directions take you to a dead end lane and no-one is there in the evening to answer phone calls for help. The owners are arrogant, confrontational, has no idea about customer service or satisfaction. They shout and scream at guests. The renter from July 2025 summed him up well as like Basil Fawlty - but with no fun bits!! My wife had a bad fall in our room due to the bed being placed on a narrow plinth (not allowed in any place I've been to before) sprained wrist, huge bruises on knee and hip and twisted shoulder. Expecting some sympathy and at least an offer of a ice bag we saw the owner and all we got was the owner screaming at us for blaming the bed !! and he wanted us to leave instantly (we had paid for another night) or he would call the cops, we called his bluff and told him to go ahead at which point he allowed us to stay the night but had to be out before breakfast!! - He obviously didn't want us talking to the other guests. One of the worst experiences we have ever had in many years of travel throughout Europe and France in particular.
