Truly Beautiful Stay!!!

fine hotel luxurious room

This hotel is fine inside and out. Our room included a lovely view. It overlooked the lake and was very luxurious. The bar area was beautiful. It was lovely to have drinks there by the fire.

My room was cold with no heating. The staff brought a small, noisy electric fan heater. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable. The room was noisy in the storm, though the fan helped drown out some of the noise.

The hotel offers a great location for wine tours. This chateau is very near to the village. It's less than a 10-minute drive. The hotel grounds feature fabulous gardens that invite romantic strolls.

limited menu plumbing issue

the breakfast offered a decent variety of options.

i found myself quite parched one evening, i attempted to order room service after 9 pm only to learn the limited menu consisted mostly of meat and fish selections, not ideal for someone craving a simple vegetarian option. to add insult to injury, my bathroom seemed to have a minor plumbing issue as water leaked from the shower cubicle onto the floor.
