Since 1999 I have rented Le Chateau de Varennes 11 times, for both friends and family and, more recently, business clients. The Chateau itself is truly a gem - a beautiful, expansive property in a fantastically tranquil location within easy driving distance of Beaune, The Cote D’Or, Dijon and The Jura. All of the grand reception rooms are wonderfully authentic, whilst the bedrooms are by turns grand, cozy or delightfully individual. The state-of-the-art swimming pool and pool house completes a holiday or business entertaining experience I couldn’t recommend more highly.
I just wanted to write and say a big 'Thank You' for everything over the weekend. You have such a beautiful Chateau and it was the perfect place to celebrate not just my 30th birthday, but also my engagement to Catherine! We all had a wonderful time, and hope to return next year. Many thanks and all the best.
We came in a family of 10 and found this marvelous castle to rest and visit beautiful Burgundy. The castle met all of our expectations and desires. The woods and surroundings are enchanted. We will tell our friends to experience it.
We have had such a fantastic week with our friends at this incredible chateau. The cook and the houseboy have been great, the food delicious, the pool warm and fun, the bed very comfortable. What more would you want? Hopefully we shall return!
