Absolutely perfect

Words cannot adequately describe what an incredible experience our family had staying at the chateau de Forbin. We had 22 adults there celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary and every detail was perfect. We stayed 4 nights and took day trips to do activities throughout the region. Roman is an exceptional host, he arranged to have a chef cook us dinners and breakfasts and everything was 10/10. He helped us plan some of our day excursions and was attentive to every detail. The grounds are stunning and the chateau is gorgeous. Everything exceeded my already high expectations, could not recommend this property enough, we hope to come back!
