シャトー デ ラ バルー(Château de la Ballue)

The chateau is beautiful but homely, the gardens are stunning and the team are very welcoming. we would recommend it. We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool looked nice. sadly it was a bit too cold a day to be tempted in. we were given a list of local restaurants on arrival, although we had already contacted the host and had received the list by email.

In reading other reviews, I would just be repetitive. Basically, here to assure others of the consistency of experience. Madame and her staff want you to relax and enjoy. Breakfast with cook is satisfying and filling. Proximity to all Bretagne has to offer is appreciated. St. Michel, St. Malo, Dinan, and Cancale are not far. I chatted with a crepier in Chartres who recommended going further east beyond Dinan to appreciate the raw beauty of Bretagne - "wild" he called it - next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Wish we had booked qnother night. The gardens are amazing as is the whole a**osphere. Lovely to have the parking within the gate, our room was spacious, the bathroom had a lovely shower and the breakfast was fantastic to start us on our journey. I would highly recommend. The location was perfect for exploring Mont St. MichelCancale, etc.

Chateau de la Ballue is magical. Madame Mathon was gracious and made us feel very welcome in her beautiful chateau. Our room was stately and overlooked the beautiful gardens. We could walk the gardens on a beautiful November afternoon and dream what it would be like to live in such a grand property. Breakfast was plentiful with many options sure to please everyone. Put this chateau on your list when visiting Brittany - you will feel the magic!

What a lovely, peaceful delightful stay. La Balue is located on a quiet tree lined lane. There are two arched steel doors in the entrance to the chateau. Buzz the intercom and Madame Mathion will open the gates for you to drive in. What is behind the gates is astounding, a beautiful mansion with exquisite gardens. It is quiet and serene. So many personal items to look at, antique paintings, chandeliers…. This is why I love Frances’ countryside, the history and the uniqueness of each chateau we visit. Robes and slippers are provided and there are many books and magazines to read while sipping wine and enjoying a charcuterie plate in one of their elegant lounge areas. (There is no restaurant on site so eat somewhere before you arrive if you are famished). We just loved our visit and hope to be back.

A stunning home shared with visitors. So welcoming and comfortable. Easy to communicate with. Very clean. Beautiful, well kept gardens, even in the rain. Good location. Very hospitable hosts and staff. Excellent breakfast. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The gardens are very special, quite unlike anything I have ever visited before. The host family and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast and how quiet and peaceful it was after our full days of sightseeing nearby in Dinan, Dinard, St. Malo, and Cancale.

We had a wonderful stay on this magnificient property. A true haven of piece and beauty! Breakfast was delicious and served in a room fit for a pricess. We definitely return. Highly reccommend!

Had a great experience and highly recommend staying at this chateau. Property is great, super relaxing and Marie and her husband were fantastic hosts. There is no restaurant on the property but they had a GREAT breakfast
