Chateau for rent in France (SPAM)

[Boo's Mum]

It maybe a lovely chateau but posting fake "we loved it" messages (See bondgirl's below) on this and previous posts (deleted) means you are not being totally honest to people. Sorry, I do not want it on the forum. The Administrator

Hello,

We rented a lovely chateau in France a few months ago and have stayed in touch with the owners.

I was so impressed with the place, and the incredibly good value for money, that I have decided to spread the word!

...

There is a huge heated swimming pool in the parklike grounds. All yours .. no other guests or caretakers around .. you have the whole place to yourself.

I was super impressed with the decor .. original Impressionist paintings in one of the salons painted by a pupil of Monet no less!! Very chic .. red velvet .. Venetian chandeliers .. clawfoot bath .. antiques and statues .. gorgeous!

We have booked to go back in September but I know there are still weeks available in July and August. The owners are also offering huge discounts for January, February and March.

If you are interested in more information/photos please reply to my post and I will pass you onto the owners.

2 photos attached to this post.

enjoy!

would you need a car? always like the look of this type of place but worry about how remote they are as my hubby and I dont drive and go everywhere by public transport. would hate to book somewhere like this and be stuck in all the time if its too far to walk to nearest town/village to get busses etc

[Boo's Mum]

We had our car with us and it was great to be able to go see the sights.

I don't think it would be essential to have a car however. The shops, bars and restaurants are all an easy walk. And the chateau itself is lovely and the grounds are immense! All surrounded by a high stone wall so it feels quite rural even though you are on the edge of a village. There is a bus stop in the village for getting further afield .. I believe it goes to xxxx e which is a must see. The owners can arrange airport or train station pick up and drop off if need be.

When we go back in September we have decided to just stay put by the pool .. well that is the plan but I know in all likelihood we will end up doing daytrips because there is a lot to see .. the coast is very lovely!

good luck and feel free to contact me if you would like to know anything more. Or feel free to email the owners. I dont want to post their actual email address here as it opens the door to spam but they have a hotmail address they use for such purposes .. removed

Hi Suzy, actually I really just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences regarding this divine place. As a result of your posting in December we booked the Xmas week, rather last minute, got a great deal, and LOVE the chateau.

merci beaucoup!

Sounds idyllic. Any idea how many people it could accommodate?

Thanks

Hi,

The chateau has 8 large bedrooms:

7 of the bedrooms have large double beds, one has a king size.

the 8th bedroom has bunks and a king single.

There are also 2 cots and a fold down single.

2 lounges that open onto each other that would seat about 18

outdoor furniture for about 25 people.

Loads and loads of glasses and plates.

The place is really well set up for big groups.

enjoy!

I was having a look myself and found this link, may save Suzy having to answer most questions.

Be honest, then you would not get banned.

Oh & I was sooooo tempted

Can you get SPAM in France ?

Not booked for Christmas. Not booked for high season in July and August. Huge discounts for Feb and March.

Have a heart, admin.

McCloud's due back for the catch-up show this summer and if lettings don't pick up then Amanda/ Boo's Mum/ Suzy/ Samantha isn't going to look good admitting that they've had to make ends meet by hiring the chateau out as a set for gay porn movies.

I hired this chateau last summer and was very disappointed.

All the house plants were dead. The kitchens smelled of wee and there was a dead dog in one of the beds. To cap it all, the TGV goes past at 200kph - every five minutes.

Never again.

Ooooh - Admin slaps your legs!!

Still, funny though.

Poor Boo, her Mum must be mortified

I think Boo would spit her dummy out over her mums seemingly embarrassing position of being caught in public with her pants down, and her knickers too by the looks of it.:-S

I thought she was related to boosboss!

Well that was all quite predictable, wasn't it...

[Mick Mac]

Yes - predictable for everyone apart from me. I'm just gullible - thought I'd help out by posting a link. :-$
