Scary place. We stayed there for 2 nights. There were no lights, mud EVERYWHERE, and very rude owners. NO HOT WATER!!!! Mean dog that barked at us whenever we left. There were MICE!!! Making noises throughout the night. Also not sure if there is a ghost or not, but it sounded like people walking throughout the night. Left the place completely spotless and the owner told us that we left the place insanely dirty. Complete lie. We hand washed all the dishes and made all of the beds. Everything in the house looked EXACTLY how we found it. Never would recommend to anyone coming here. Find somewhere else to stay or else they will expect you to deep clean the place or hire a maid!! Awful experience. Never again.

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.
