An Elegant Castle with Elegant Service

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Architecturally splendid, and a true 5 star hotel. The service was impeccable and the dinner and breakfast were elegant and well done. A great hotel for a romantic few days or a family outing. If you are driving, it is about 50 min from Fountainebleu and 25 minutes from Chartre.

운치있는 고성호텔

본관이 아닌 별관에 묶게 되었습니다. 오랜 고성을 개조해 만든 호텔답게 분위기 있고 운치있습니다. 묶었던 시즌이 추워지려고 하는 때인데 난방도 아주 잘 되었습니다. 직원들은 체크인과 체크아웃, 레스토랑 이용시에 친절하게 대해주었습니다. 다만 체크인 한 직원이 너무 담배 냄새가 심하게 났었습니다. 호텔내 레스토랑은 편안하고 맛이 있습니다. 저녁과 아침에 호텔 건물 주변 정원을 돌아다니면서 편안한 휴식을 얻었습니다.

The beautiful chateau

In our road trip around France we wanted to experience staying in the great chateaux. We were recommended to stay at Chateau L'Esclimont. When we looked at some previous negative reviews we wondered whether we should but decided to go ahead anyway. We are so glad we did. It is an amazing experience and well worth the cost. The staff were marvellous. Very helpful. The dinner was absolutely exquisite, sensational as was the sumptuous breakfast. No complaints about the food at all. Some reviewers were critical about the food and the cost but please ignore them. Either the chef has changed or the reviewers were being super critical. It is true that the buildings are in a state of decline but for us it added to the charm of the place. The manager explained to us that the Chateau is closing in January for an 18 month restoration. We are so looking forward to coming back again after it reopens to compare it to our recent stay. Driving down the driveway into the Chateau is a special experience. Like entering Disneyland. A magical castle in s beautiful setting.

The outside of the hotel is amazing! You feel like in a castle, but in the bedroom you feel like in a regular hotel, because of the lack of decorativos in the bedroom.

Absolutly amazing chateau, staff are so friendly and helpful, room was fantastic and the property itself is out of this world. Would love to stay longer. Restaurant a little expensive so if you are not up for it be prepared to doc into Chartres for dinner.

Grand and Romantic

A Very romantic property!!! We were revisiting after 26 years for our Anniversary. It was he first stop on our honeymoon. How lovely to return. Still no stand up shower in the room but very comfortable bed! While the place does seem a bit understaffed, the staff on hand went out of their way to make it special. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Chartres Cathedral is close by and a must see.

piège pour chinois fortunés, cet établissement n'a rien d'un 5* et doit absolument être évité. Le chateau a un très bel aspect extérieur mais l'entretien est nul, le ménage minimum, le service médiocre, la piscine condamnée, le resto hors de prix...

The hotel has 5 stars. While the staff were very attentive and helpful the attention to detail was missing. Starbucks style cups for tea in the room, that is not 5 star. The grounds badly maintained, not withstanding the weather problems. The food very overpriced and about 3* standard

Beautiful authentic chateau in bucolic setting.

Beautiful authentic chateau in bucolic setting. Grounds are lovely, and beautiful interior detail. If you like new you won't like it. If you love history and authentic then you will love it. Bathroom fixtures all looked new and worked great. Great hot water and water pressure. Peaceful setting. Less than 30 minutes from Chartres. Cute picturesque village...didn't see any stores but charming looking village church and narrow streets. They don't have turndown service.

독특한 경험을 위해서 추천할 만한 곳.

성에서 하룻밤을 보내는 독특한 경험을 할 수 있었습니다. 정원과 호수의 상태가 아주 좋지는 않았지만 고성의 분위기를 내는데에는 충분한 정도였어요.
