Château de Blet

It's a really beautiful place. I had a great time with my friend. Irina was a really friendly host. She took us on a tour of the castle and told us about its history. It was a really special experience. I highly recommend it.

This was perhaps the most memorable stay I've had in all my travels (and I travel a lot). Chateau de Blet can be traced as far back as 981 (it could be older). It has 13 sets of stair cases, 128 doors and windows to the outside, 78 rooms, turrets and chimneys and amazing private and public spaces. My room was incredible--a huge room with a super comfortable bed, views out to the grounds and the town outside the chateau's gate; the bathroom (complete with claw foot tub) was in one of the turrets and was perfect. Everything was perfect. The owners are fantastic--perfect hosts who know how to make guests feel at home. If you're lucky, Irina, who is a self-taught chef, will reach out and offer a dinner (there's not much else in town) . My advice--go for it! Fantastic four course dinner in a grand dining room. Breakfast the following morning was brought to my room and was exactly what I needed/wanted. A true once in a lifetime experience. So wonderful to meet Irina and Arnold and to hear their stories and share with them. I’m sure if you want time to yourself, they will happily offer that to you too. Bottom line: if you're in this part of France and you have the opportunity, don't miss a chance to stay at Chateau de Blet. I know I'll return.

Highly recommended Fantastic property. Wonderful hosts.Highly recommend
