We booked the "best room" for our honey moon. Unfortunately the ceiling was dilpidated. But worst of all, the owner was an obnoxious host, a very rude and dishonest person. My young wife is very disapointed, it had to be a dream night and it will ultimately be an unpleasant memory.

We stayed two nights, in June on our way up North and July on our way back. It is a beautiful place in the middle of a spectacular forrest. We loved being there. The owners are very nice. Pets are allowed which I find very important. This Chateau is very close to Giverny, known for the museum of the impressionist painter Monet, worthwhile visiting. I sincerely recommend to stay there! Be aware there is no elevator though you only have to climb one (easy) stair. We zijn er twee nachten geweest, 1 in juni op weg naar het Noorden en 1 juli op weg naar het zuiden. Het is een heel mooi kasteel midden in een beeldschoon bos. We hebben genoten. De eigenaars zijn bijzonder aardig. Het kasteel ligt dichtbij Giverny, bekend om het museum van Monet, de impressionistische schilder, zeer de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Een verblijf in dit kasteel is zeker de moeite waard. Houd er rekening mee dat er geen lift is, maar je moet slechts één (makkelijke) trap op.

One of the coolest places I have ever stayed. Family was excited as it was an old chateau that does need a little TLC .... and unfortunately and exterminator. Woke up to bed bugs crawling all over my two daughters' beds and in my bed. It is such a disappointment!

We booked a suite at this accommodation through booking.com. As we disembarked from the ferry at Calais, we had a notification that our booking had been cancelled. When we called up, the owner was apologetic, but confirmed that the room had been double-booked and that there was another client in our room! We spoke with booking.com who arranged alternative accommodation, but confirmed that the fault lay with the accommodation provider who had not updated their portal. I would therefore recommend that if you book this accommodation, you should double-check with the chateau directly to ensure that they have you booked-in.

We really apologize : We have several plannings and we sometimes do not have time to close all the planning right in the minute someone book. We try most of the time but life is stronger sometimes : things that must be done urgently.

A mess. Room small and musty. Furnishings of poorest quality Carpet in room filthy. Bed uncomfortable and old, lumpy, worn pillows beyond words. Rugs in bathroom not fresh for our use. Owner/prince seems content to turn a blind eye to comfort of guests and sad state of his chateau. He disappeared after breakfast. Our attempts to find him fruitless. We entered his kitchen and found a place of squalor. Vastly overpriced. Breakfast room spartan. Breakfast provisions from the supermarket. Love at first sight wore off quickly. Good, local restaurant recommendation. Could be lovely. He's been there too long for excuses.

Monsieur. Quel mensonges. Vous n’avez tout simplement pas régler la note. Pourtant à votre arrivée, vous compariez votre suite à un appartement et sautiez de joie sur la terrasse de 40 m2 qui vous était réservée. C est vous qui avez disparu, qui n avez pas répondu à mes appels et qui n’avez pas laissé votre nom. Vous êtes parti à la sauvette sans régler la note et avez laissé votre t-shirt dans la chambre. Vous aviez prévu de partir rapidement car vous avez ouvert la porte en face de votre table au petit déjeuner et m’avez fait croire que vous habitiez Florence. heureusement le restaurant que je vous ai conseillé m’a transmis vos coordonnées bancaires. Vous nous mettez cet avis négatif car j’ai insisté et que je vous ai informé j’avais Obtenu votre nom et vos coordonnées et donc que votre grivelerie n’a pas fonctionne. D’ailleurs, vous n’aviez pas réservé par booking, ce qui révèle vos intentions. A ce jour, bien que nous vous ayons transmis un rib, nous ne sommes toujours pas payés.

We spent one night in the Chateau traveling from Paris to Normandy. There were two couples. We were given rooms next to each other. Both were very spacious and comfortable with outdoor patios. The owners were very hospitable and we enjoyed learning about their beautiful family home. They treated us to some local cider before we left for dinner. The breakfast was truly lovely and we hated to leave this beautiful place.

A Grand Old Lady is Chateau de Madeleine - set in park like grounds over looking the Seine and Hills surroundingVernon. An idyllic position, yet right next door to Vernon, Giverny (Monet's Garden/Museum) and La Roche- Guyon So much history here in this beautiful chateau as far back as the 1100's. Staying here gives you a taste of what it was like to live the grand life, except now you can in the 21st Century. So, instead of visiting a chateau just to look at, why not stay in one. Marie and Paul certainly know how to make you feel welcome and part of their family. I travelled alone with my miniature Schnauzer Dudley, and he was also made very welcome. Beautiful walks abound for all. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything so peaceful at night. To be highly recommended.

The owners love their home, clearly and passionately. There will always be much work that remains on grounds this vast. The immensity and challenges for 2 people running/owning it is awesome. The original architecture is indeed stunning and easily appreciated, as is the location of the property. The views over the river and the grounds are lovely and peaceful. Some rooms are better designed and furnished than others, so choosing (to one's tastes) makes a difference. Regarding required hotel details, such as room/bathroom cleaning, of the 3 nights we stayed, no one cleaned or made up our room the first night, with no explanation (or apologies). We assumed this was standard (although after 69 years a distinct "first") and we should make our own beds and clean the bathroom. As we had run out of toilet paper, we had to ask for more. Even upon asking for an embarrassing basic, there were no explanations, rather a slightly defensive and unfriendly response. The second day the room was hastily made up while all personal items in the bathroom had been stored away (this simply is not done in the hotel business...leave guests personal articles alone unless directed). Were we intruders in a private home that could only be maintained by renting to guests? At best we felt uncomfortable if not a bit concerned by these odd behaviors. It is difficult to praise the owners as welcoming (as so many other tripadvisor posts have remarked). The breakfast is, as most tripadvisor posts say, above average. Unusually generous by french standards, offering superb meats and cheese along with usual baguette and croissants, presented in the graceful breakfast room fronted by windows overlooking grounds and river. But here too were some variations, with an entire baguette laid at each table one day (with no cutting board or knife to attack it) while the next day, none. Yes a small detail, but noticeable after the room cleaning hiccups. One has to ignore door handles that fall off, dusty corners and a french laissez faire (if not simply strange) approach to service. Would we stay here again or recommend to others? Maybe. Probably because we have stayed at a number of privately owned French chateaux, most of them works in progress, with tinges of past glories peeking out of corners. This chateau is stunning at it's core, so as it peeks through the vision and dreams of it's owners, one does see how remarkable it was.

We always dream of buying an old home and restoring it. We did this many years ago on an island in Greece so have an idea of the path these renovations can take. This allowed us to appreciate the work that Paul and Marie have been done on this unique chateau. The mosaic floor in their breakfast area, the beautiful Moorish pattern in the wood floor of the lounge are lovely. As said in other reviews - there place is unique and the breakfast is delicious.

10 minutes drive from Monet's Garden at Giverny. Its a lovely old chateau. Some renovations still to be done but still a great experience. Excellent breakfast looking down to The Seine across the woods. Welcoming hosts.
