We want to marry here and they gave us the wrong room. Then during dinner they forgot we got a wine package. We had to babysitting the reception telling them what we bought and what we received, they were clueless.Thanks for ruining a special moment.

Tjis gorgeous place is located in the north-west side of the magnificent and very beautiful city Stockholm. The place was build in 1650 and changed the owner many times until it became owned by the municipality of Stockholm. The nature around is splendid plus it’s near the lake of Mälaren. Everything is great except the dinner which took very long time to serve.

Amazing stay here with my boo. The grounds , restaurant and breakfast are amazing. This place even has a karaoke bar! Extra’s can’t be beat. The rooms are a bit small. It’s not terrible given everything else. I’m large, so it was kind of an issue.

The restaurant dinner menu does not have many option for pregnant women . Too reduced and not so flexible to invent something else. For a wedding location is great but unfortunately too many restrictions on what to bring , not to do, extra costs etc … Organised live music is great

Stay away. Fairly certain about food poisoning from the buffet. The hotel room has carpets (considered pretty unusual and low end in Scandinavia), and doesn't have a door to the bathroom. (??!?) Enjoy your partner using the toilet! Location also isn't good if you intend to visit the city.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
