Beautiful location, amazing food and very kind staff. Our dream of staying in a castle came true, thank you!

What a rare find, the room was basic, in the best tradition of a hostel but clean and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was also basic, but what it lacked in choice was easily made up for in quality! But OMG! What a fantastic venue… so unexpected to be able to sleep in a palace with amazing architecture and gardens. Highly recommended ?

Functional rather than luxury, ideal for a couple of days. Location and surrounding area ideal. Staff always helpful and friendly.

Very nice location full of historic features (meaning also lots of steps !). Many different room for common use available- so great for groups outings. Dinner superb, lots of healthy and vegetable options; breakfast/lunch very good too. Staff super friendly. A second coffee machine might be something for the future!

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.
