We absolutely LOVED the chateau. It is very beautiful, very modern in terms of bathrooms etc, and plenty of space for everyone.  We had a couple of rainy days and we never found ourselves on top of one another in the house - lots of rooms to go and sit in and read/ watch tv etc. The pool is gorgeous - very clean and again, lots of seating outside to sit around on. The grounds are lovely, The Guardians do a great job in tending to them....It was wonderful having Maid Service  every day - it really took the pressure off of us to enjoy the holiday.....There was no shortage of towels, the bed linen was gorgeous.  In all a very comfortable house to stay in.  I think what makes the difference is that this isn't just a 'rental', but someone's home.  You immediately feel at home yourself.  It was a complete pleasure.  My only regret is that we had to leave!!! I would love to have stayed another week, and may consider this next time.  I would definately love to stay at the chateau again.
