Château d'Avanton is a picturesque castle in a beautiful village. With a fantastic breakfast, swimming pool, table tennis, and board games. The village has a local baker, butcher and a shop. Most importantly Viviene is an amazing host who looked after us so well.

Wonderful host who looked after us well despite a recently broken wrist. She would have been justified in cancelling our booking because of it but carried on. Lovely fresh breakfast. Loads of character to the property. Well situated to visit Poitiers
A bit more warmth in the room, but it was unseasonably chilly when we visited

A beautiful chateau, rustic and charming. Spacious and character filled bedroom (Mazarin). Everything was clean, comfortable and provided.
A little remote if you need a restaurant.

Lovely Chateau, sympathetically restored and maintained . Was very spacious and unique to stay in a building that was originally from the 1500”s . Very easy to find and close enough to main routes.

It was a real priviledge to stay in this chateau. It was absolutely full of history and stunning. We stayed in the Maran room which had a small kitchenette which was a real plus. The Pool area was lovely in such warm weather and you felt very much left to your own devices.

A spectacular castle and very well maintained. Good air con as it was 33-degrees! Nice pool. Lovely gardens. Wonderful breakfast and very nice lady host.

The host endeavors to facilitate the check-in (key box). One of the two bedrooms we got was under the rooftop and could get warm by hot or sunny weather, but windows had been opened and the "aircon" helped quickly getting the temperature back to comfortable levels. Both rooms had their own kitchen with all needed hardware. The breakfast was abundant with eggs and cheese available. The hosts share their swimming pool. A history of the castle is available in the bedrooms. The area is quite rural and I got trails for jogging in the fields around. My son enjoyed the quality of the internet connection. The ride/ driving to the nearby "Futuroscope" is only about 20mn. Nice view from our bedroom on the sunrise and just-harvested wheat fields.
Some rooms may require some efforts to carry heavy suitcases up the stairs...

Viviane was an excellent hostess. The Chateau was historically quirky with a wonderful dining room. The bedroom was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious. The proximity to Poitier was good and easy to visit with a good choice of restaurants.

Lovely location
Host was completely absent. Noone there to check in took well over an hour to find someone to speak to had to phone around Host eventually answered after a lot of hanging up on us said she had left a key under a rock. Not a great welcome. Facilities are quite musty and dated needs a bit of tlc pool needs a good clean as with a lot of the chateau. Breakfast was very poor. one egg each provided that you cooked yourself nothing else edible other than a baton of bread everything else not that there was much was food that looked like it had been left out for weeks which judging by the fact it was on the same table the evening beforehand probably had. Looked at a jar of jam and it was covered in mould. Still noone to be seen all through breakfast host completely absent for our entire visit other than when we left someone appeared as we were walking out the door.

I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Château d’Avanton for a night. The hostess Vivianne was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room I had was beautiful and well-appointed, making for a comfortable stay. Also the breakfast was exceptional! I can highly recommend this B&B!

The location is stunning, and the castle like something out of a fairytale. It is in a village and easily accessible to village amenities.
We stayed in a room in an attic....lots and lots of narrow stairs, which isn't great if you have any mobility issues or heavy cases. The bathroom was on another level too.
Unusually there was no-one to meet us on arrival. We knew where to find the key, so communication was good, but not like being met by a person.
Similarly, at breakfast, everything was laid out, even flasks of coffee, so we didn't meet anyone then either. It felt a bit impersonal.

Very helpful and considerate host. Very clean and a good breakfast.
A rather long drive to find somewhere to eat in the evening. First place, about 10 minutes away was fully booked, so had a further 20 mins drive to the next place. Best to ask for a reservation at the first venue to be booked in advance.

Room was spacious with plenty of tables and chairs. The view from the bathroom was superb, it would be great to have a larger window in the bedroom. Breakfast was good and the dining room was fantastic. Great area for walking and cycling. Viviane was a well organised and good host.

A beautiful property with historic and spacious rooms, and a kitchenette in our suite. Viviane was most helpful. A good selection of tasty items for breakfast, delicious seasonal fruit and the bread and croissants were so fresh. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Totally amazing and fascinating château with a lovely warm welcome and facilities (especially the billiard table)! We took a picnic and sat under a tree in the gardens, very romantic for a couple. Would definitely recommend and come back. Thank you.

Very welcoming and friendly owner. Amazing chateau, fabulous huge rooms furnished in ancient/ medieval style. really impressive, but also comfortable and cosy. Our room and bathroom were clean and bright. Well-equipped kitchenette. Wonderful breakfast with homemade yogurt and jams. Unfortunately the weather was not warm enough to use the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely return!

Beautiful chateau, lovely gardens, situated in a quiet area. Lovely silence at night.
Seems a bit run down, equipment quite basic, covid restrictions perhaps contributed somewhat to the lack of charm.
No restaurant available but owner could recommend a good one nearby. Breakfast passable

Magnifique cadre et belle chambre et SDE. Décor d’époque.
Notre hôte était charmante et nous a fait profiter d’un excellent petit déjeuner dans une agréable salle à manger également d’époque concernant le mobilier et la décoration.
Séjour au calme tout en étant non loin du futuroscope et de la salle de concert d’Arena.
Beaucoup d’indications données par notre hôte pour nous restaurer, boire un verre et marché à proximité. Ce qui est fort appréciable.
Nous occupions la suite Marie- Antoinette.
C'est un superbe château rénové avec passion.
