This was a dream Come true to live at a castle and enjoy a magnifigent garden and sorroundings. The ovners Are very kind and considerate and made sure we had a very pleasant stay. We can highly recommend this place for People Who want to enjoy the french calmness and beauty.

Un manoir restauré avec excellence, en extérieur comme en intérieur, dans un site champêtre embelli par un jardin à la française, par les maîtres des lieux dont les mains semblent tout juste avoir quitté la cisaille au dessus des buis, et ôté du Ronsard la dernière rose fannée. Le site de la piscine chauffée invite au partage du soleil sur les corps et dans les cœurs. La disposition des pièces et leurs aménagements est très bien conçu et tout y contribue à vous laisser vivre une vie de château. Pour fêter nos 50 ans de mariage en famille tout fut parfait, particulièrement l'amabilité de l'accueil. Le courage des hôtes de ces lieux à entrenir ce site de rêve est remarquable.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable. La propriété est idéale pour les retrouvailles en famille ou entre amis. Tout le confort moderne dans une propriété qui garde le charme et les traces de son histoire et de ses propriétaires. La château est très bien équipé (vie quotidienne et pour les loisirs de belles surprises) . Je vous recommande Karine Martin si vous appréciez les activités sportives de pleine nature, une belle rencontre). Encore merci à Adélaïde pour un si bel accueil et d'avoir pensé à tout.

Magnifique domaine, gîte de l'aile ouest très spacieux, très propre, où nous avons passé un agréable week-end entre amis pour nos Noces de Coton ! Propriétaire arrangeant et très sympathique, nous reviendrons avec plaisir au Petit Versailles !

As the Australian organiser of French language immersion trips, I chose Château Allure du Lac as the site of our inaugural trip to France (having previously organised trips to other, closer destinations, like New Caledonia). I believe that choosing to spend seven of our 14 nights of the trip at the château was a key reason as to why our first trip sold out virtually overnight, and prompted me to run as second one (hence my luck in being able to stay at this magnificent property twice). Naturally I was nervous as to how the whole trip would pan out, and I have to thank Susy and William, the property's owners, who made organising this portion of the trip so incredibly easy. From the get-go, they were unfailingly responsive to emails, charming, helpful and just seemed to turn every request into a heartfelt 'Yes, of course!'. So from an organiser's point of view, they could not have been better to deal with. From a visitor's viewpoint (and here I include not only my clients but myself, as I stayed there, too), it truly was a dream come true. The greatest thing was that, despite Susy, William and their wonderful staff's welcome, availability and care, we really felt like we were living out the fantasy of having our very own chateau. We chose to have some meals catered, and others not, and Susy and William were absolutely brilliant about us having guest speakers visit (we did a cooking school, French lessons and a wine dégustation) - they kept repeating that we were to treat the place as our own, which we did (I hope very respectfully!). The sheer size of the chateau (much bigger in real life than I had gauged from the photos) was mind-blowing, but as several others have stated, it is the enormous grounds filled with wildlife that are truly magic. That is where the real luxury lies, I think. Such a huge space, seemingly in the middle of nowhere but close enough to supermarkets (six minutes by car) and Angers (20 minutes) as to be very convenient for those who self-cater. You don't need to arrived armed with all your food and drinks, which takes out a lot of stress and hassle. I'd recommend organising a catered dinner for at least the first night, as well as breakfasts, which will give you time to lazily make your way to a supermarket when the mood strikes. Susy, William and staff, thank you so much for your incredible hospitality and we hope to see you again soon.

Nous avons adore ce sejour : le cadre magnifique , l'accueil et le calme du lieu
