シャトー アルディユー(Chateau Ardilleux)

We have just returned from the most perfect two weeks staying I the gite in the grounds of the chateaux which was wonderful relaxing and peaceful everything you need is in the gite two bedrooms fully fitted kithen comfortable beds nice and clean just remember it's in a 14th century building so don't expect modern but nice and comfortable all the facilities of the chateaux are at your disposal the grounds pool tennis courts grounds two dogs and two cats Can't wait to return next year

We have recently returned from a 10 night stay at the chateau and have had a wonderful time. Corinne (the owner) is a fabulous host - warm, friendly and extremely welcoming. Our room was large, the bed very comfortable which is a huge plus for me as I suffer from a bad back and 99% of hotel beds just don't suit me. Fresh croissants, pain au chocolate and pain au raisin alongside fruit, cheese and ham for breakfast set us up really well for the day and on those days when we didn't want to eat out, Corinne cooked us the most incredible (& value for money) three course meals. The pool was a welcome relief at the end of hot days out exploring the Charente countryside. For the more energetic there is also a tennis court, table tennis, a badminton net and swings for children so plenty to do on a cooler day. As well as being a great cook, Corinne is also a superb baker and a chocolatier so make sure to take home a few pies, cakes and chocolates - they are all delicious and the chocolates are available to buy online as well so we can stock up anytime. The town of Chef Boutonne is just a few minutes drive away and has all the amenities you might need for shopping or eating out. A little further away in Ruffec is a fabulous restaurant by the river. Ask Corinne for the details as I can't remember the name right now lol. Keep an eye out for the spa days here and I wish I could make the summer ball on 23rd June this year as it sounds like great fun - maybe another year! All in all, a truly wonderful place to stay for a holiday, weekend break or business trip. We will most definitely be back :-)

We had a private lunch with family and friends. Corinne provided everything we asked for regarding the menu. Food was first class, service from Corinne is ten star ( if they had the option of ten). Nothing is any trouble for Corinne. Would highly recommend Chateau Ardillueax for functions, private or not. We have attended many and never been disappointed

I was given this spa day by my fiance as a Chris**as Present - I've only now had the chance to go - And it was well worth the wait. I received a warm welcome and was introduced to the other ladies who were there for the day. The pool was big enough to 'actually' swim in - I was SO happy! The live-in cat was friendly and loved being fussed :-) The grounds are wonderful, and the food was delicious. Everything was relaxed and there was no sense of having to rush to get your lunch (buffet). I cannot remember the last time I had such a relaxing day. THANK YOU!

Lovely location. Welcoming hostess. Laid back relaxed vibe.Nothing was too much trouble.

Belle expérience! Séjour vraiment au calme; très grande chambre confortable; très bon rapport qualité prix; bon petit déjeuner et accueil très agréable. Je recommande !
