I liked the style of the hotel and the quietness it has. But the price is far too high compared to other hotels in that price range. A next time I won't stay in the hotel if I have to pay the same amount.

Le personnel est très accueillant et agréable. Ce château rural est dans un cadre magnifique, verdoyant, fleuri et ombragé. Notre chambre était simple mais décorée avec goût. La salle de restaurant est agrémentée d’une immense cheminée pour y passer un dîner chaleureux. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais suffisant.

The Château is situated outside of Vézelay and it will take a 15 minute drive to get to the town. It is almost eerily quiet. The service is very standard but friendly. Although they advertise grand rooms, the standard rooms are rather basic and the decoration more 80s than 18th Century. We had a good night sleep.

Schöner Park. Haus in die Jahre gekommen; zu teuer

Das Hotel ist wunderschön gelegen mit einem traumhaften Park. Leider war unser Zimmer sehr in die Jahre gekommen und das Bett resp Matratze war eine Katastrophe. Der Zimmerpreis ist eindeutig zu teuer für was man kriegt! Das Abendessen war ausgezeichnet aber relativ teuer und die Bedienung nur mittelmäßig. WLAN nur bei der Rezeption und nicht in den Zimmer oder dem Restaurant.

Comment rater une belle opportunité

L'endroit est sublime, vraiment. Et après tout est décevant. L'accueil pour commencer: nous n'avons vu le premier jour qu'un brave réceptionniste-serveur tout en un mais qui n'était pas à la hauteur. Le lendemain au petit déjeuner nous n'avons vu personn, il y avait juste une table dressée avec tout dessus. La chambre n'etait pas mieux: propre mais malodorante. En plus le château était vide et nous avons été relégués dans une dépendance ...

Overpriced and short sighted

The hotel is in a beautiful setting. There were very few guests and it would have been nice to get a bit better room. I mentioned my Expedia Gold status without any response. Breakfast was very disappointing, should have been included in the room price, but certainly not worth €16 per person - it was expensive, they ran out of eggs. For the total price of the stay for the two of us, there are much better options in the area. We won't return. It's a shame as the place had great potential.

Angenehmes Haus auf dem Land

Ruhiger Platz und angenehmes Zimmer . sehr geschäftstüchtige Gastgeberin, die bei unvorhergesehener Mitnahme des Enkelkindes , 4 Jahre, sofort ein neues Zimmer anbot ( plus40 Euro) mit Zusatzbett(plus 25 Euro) und das Frühstück für das Kind auch noch berechnete, sodass der Aufenthalt von 2 Nächten den ursprünglichen Preis um rund 140 Euro überstieg und teurer war als im Hotel der gehobenen Kategorie.

authentic country stay

Picked this location as easy to get to on arrival to France [vs having to navigate a village]. The hotel is incredibly peaceful ... joked about having our own chateau! That said, it's not for everyone. Don't expect too much, just accept what is and you'll enjoy it.

It's a castle in the country

We were literally the only ones in the Chateau. The grounds are nice. Not perfect, in a bit of decay, but in a charming way. There is a nice small little garden next to the hotel, but the main grounds are not landscaped very well. We stayed here because it was a good spot between Lyon and Paris. Breakfast was great. The salon is very pretty. Our room was underwhelming, but it looked like there were some nice rooms.

Like stepping back in time

My wife and I stayed here for one night as our half way point across France. We had a wonderful stay. It was like stepping back to the Baroque. NOTE: Learning some French will benefit you greatly as one of the owner (the husband) is the only English speaking representative at the estate.

Geheimtipp Chateau d'Island

Das Hotel ist ein seit fünf Jahren renoviertes Schloss in hervorragender Lage zwischen Avallon und Vezelay. Die Zimmer und Aufenthaltsräume (Kaminzimmer für das Frühstück, großer Salon) sind sehr geschmackvoll und liebevoll eingerichtet worden. Der Service ist ausgezeichnet. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Das Frühstück war nicht zu übertreffen.

Bed and Breakfast in oud kasteel

Hotel is groot en wordt door ouder stel, hele arrdige mensen, al 30 jaar beheerd. Eigenlijk is er te weinig geld voor onderhoud, dus het kasteel is langzaam aan het vervallen. Kamers en gangen hebben vele geuren. Kamer was groot met bad. Muren hangen met handvaardigheden . Kasteel is niet chique. Wel grappig om te zien hoeveel werk onderhoud het vraagt.

Landschaftlich unglaublich reizvoll gelegen

Das Zimmer war sauber, der Empfang herzlich. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Lage. Hier findet man Ruhe und ist doch sehr schnell in Vézelay und Avallon (für kulturell Interessierte). Für Naturliebhaber: das Chateau liegt am nördlichen Rand des Morvan.

Für Individualisten, die die Ambiente von liebevoller Restaurierung, unkommerzielle Atmosphäre, absolute Ruhe, Ideenreichtum der Besitzer bei der indivuellen Gestaltung der Zimmer schätzen. Volltreffer für das Unkonventiolle unter dem Begriff "Hotel". Man fühlt sich voll aufgenommen im Privaten des Schlosses.
