Château La Chenevière

During our D-Day excursion, we had the unforgettable pleasure of stopping for lunch at Château La Chenevière — and I can honestly say it felt like stepping into a dream. The 17th-century manor is nestled among perfectly manicured gardens and centuries-old trees, with every corner of the property whispering elegance, history, and peace.||||Lunch was exceptional — refined yet relaxed, showcasing local flavors in the most beautiful setting imaginable. Afterward, we had time to walk the grounds, and I was struck by how serene and timeless everything felt. The chateau blends classic French charm with an inviting warmth that made it hard to leave.||||If you’re ever in Normandy, make this place a priority. It’s not just a stop — it’s an experience. From the peaceful gardens to the stunning architecture and thoughtful hospitality,.

So glad we stopped for a night here. The chateau has a rich history and is set in beautiful grounds. Very much a small boutique 5 star hotel. We had a dog friendly room in the main house and we were all well looked after. The Botanist restaurant had excellent quality 1 star Michelin dishes and friendly service. We did not manage to use the pool but it looked lovely! Highly recommend staying here to visit the local war beaches.

I was thrilled to return to this beautiful property. Besides its physical appeal, the location of the property is its main asset.||It is the perfect base for visiting all the Normandy landing beaches and other military sites.||They had recommended a marvelous guide named Igor from Gold Beach Company who made our experience memorable. I highly recommend him and his,company.||The bedroom was exquisite, the dinner in the gourmet restaurant excellent, and the gardens, magnificent.||The staff is superb and I especially want to mention Giovanni, who gave me so much personal attention. He was most professional and graciousness.||Thank you to all for another superb experience.

My Wife & I were on a whirlwind tour of Mont-Saint-Michel & Normandy in 2 days, so we decided to leave our Paris hotel room for a night and stay in Normandy. WOW...what a wonderful yet accidental decision. La Chenevière is a restored mansion, immaculately re-done and maintained, and attended by the most astute, attentive, and amazing staff you will meet anywhere. We eat light at nights, so missed the 5-Star restaurant for the comfort of the bar, attended dutifully by Timothy. Tuna salad & chicken salad, both light and meticulously prepared. The room was wonderful, comfy, and thoughtful. Omaha Beach 10-minutes away. We even had our Guide drop his car off so we could come back for a beverage & potty break after check-out, which was welcomed by the wonderful staff. If you are going to the Beaches of Normandy...come here. Period.

My wife and I just enjoyed our 10th stay at the Chateau La Cheneviere. Our first stay was back in 2015 and we immediately fell in love with the Chateau, its amazing grounds, and incredible staff. We have now made it a yearly springtime stay. ||The Chateau itself sits near the D’Day beaches and a 10 minute walk from the beautiful fishing village of Port en Bessin. It’s also a 10 minute drive from the historical town of Bayeau. ||As to the Chateau, it has a main house with adjacent building all with beautifully decorated rooms, each uniquely and stylishly decorated. |The grounds are quite spectacular and manicured. The sitting areas are inviting and quite cozy. ||They have 2 restaurants that are absolutely a must if staying at the resort. ||Finally, a special thanks to Aurelie, Justin and Beatriz for always making our stay’s so memorable.

Thought this Chateau would be an excellent choice for our family stay in Normandy. Unfortunately it was not. Other than the service and food at La Botineste it was not good. Breakfast service, Jardin food and service, housekeeping and not assisting us with the need for tickets for Giverney was below the standard of care for what you are going to spend here. | The guide and driver Julie for St Michel and Normandy tour that was excellent. | Will not be returning here on our next visit. | Laundry service was also done poorly. No enthusiasm with greeting or assistance at Front Desk other than Justine. | We should have listened to our cousins who loved The Lara in town

A 3-star hotel in a 4-star location. If you've stayed at a Four Seasons, Peninsula or Rosewood, buckle up for a bumpy disappointment. We booked a junior suite. Didn't realize the suite would be under the stairs. It's an old building so all we heard at night was foot traffic, going up and down. Beds were mediocre. Bathroom shower was laughable because even the staff member sent over to help us turn it off couldn't figure it out without multiple attempts at turning knobs. Service was inconsistent and unnecessarily snooty at times -- particularly the bartender or gentleman working the "snack bar," which is what the hotel calls it. He can afford to take down his snoot level a few notches. Pool area was closed the 3 days we were there. Breakfast was boring so we went into Bayeaux and found delightful cafes there instead. Given the ratings, we can only imagine what the alternatives were like. Regardless, we'd recommend another scan before booking here. Or plan to drive to Deauville or Hornfleur.

Read all the fine print, and do not expect them to honor anything else, no matter how obvious, not even to respond constructively. If they respond to this note it will be to claim that our purchase was non-refundable, but they will know that they are not telling anything close to the whole truth. There are many other fine places to stay in the area.

Beautiful chateau just west of Tours, France. It's not the largest chateau, though it is very large, but what really sets this place apart from the others is its gardens. The largest and most intricate gardens of any of the chateaus in the valley. Some of them are flowers and shrubs, others are fruit-bearing plants, but they're all beautiful. The interior of the chateau, don't get me wrong, is quite nice as well. Several rooms are intricately detailed, but the gardens are the big draw here. A nice touch, there are a couple boutiques where you can buy souvenirs, of course, but one of the boutiques is geared towards gardening, which is very on brand for this chateau. Also nice, you can buy seeds from the gardens for your home garden, very nice touch! If you're planning to travel here and have a home garden, look into your country's laws regarding bringing home seeds as that could be quite the nice souvenir.

Stunning property but the staff didnt do ONE extra thing to make it special- it felt lazy and cheaply run. No Chocolates at turndown, No fruit plate or wine upon arrival, No turndown service- Room was messy and unstocked for coffee when I returned From Our 400$ dinner each night. when i asked for coffee service in the am - the same lady said I had a coffee machine in the room- I explained that I wanted to order coffee on a tray with Hot Milk in my room because I was on VACATION! When we arrived there was a lady at The front desk who sort of pointed to us where to park and didnt have anyone to get our luggage!!! I mean - is this supposed to be a luxury Relais and Chateaux? Because it isn't one- lazy and terrible service- A Hilton would be more special- honestly.

My husband stayed here recently on a trip to the Normandy region. We cannot recommend the hotel enough. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such friendly service and made to feel right at home. Upon our arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite in the main house. The room overlooked the exquisite and manicured gardens with floor to ceiling windows. The room was nicely appointed with a large jet tub and rain shower head in the shower. The king size bed was very comfortable. The hotel is tucked away from town and offers a bar, restaurant, and lounge area. The grounds are beautiful and lush with pea gravel pathways. Everything was in bloom and the location itself felt magical. We ate at the restaurant, The Botanist (reviewed separately) twice and really enjoyed it. The hotel offers a very generous and delicious continental breakfast with a variety of patisseries, fruit, yogurt, egg options made to order, breads, cheese, and meats (cured and cooked). The staff were exceedingly gracious and always greeted us with a smile and a Bon Jour or Bon Soir. We would definitely stay here again.

Simply Wonderful! One of the best experiences from service and food. The ambience have a very warm charming feeling. It is a most go!

The most wonderful hotel dining. Breakfast and gourmet dinner were exquisite. Many choices and we tried most. All excellent.

Very very good. Wicked expensive but worth it for a special occasion. They brought us lots of things to try beyond what we ordered and we felt the service and warmth from the staff far exceeded our expectations for a couple of grungy-looking Americans. We especially loved the cheese platter (and the charming young man serving the cheese), with the peppered goat cheese being our favorite but not a single loser on the plate. Multi-grain bread was very delicious and the extra brownie thrown in for free was a pleasant way to end the meal. We ended up back there for breakfast in the morning we were so pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. Breakfast also didn't disappoint. Try the apple juice :-) The grounds are spectacular and you should take some time to wander around the property.

We stayed here on our honeymoon in 2008 and dined there on more recent trips. The Chateau is very elegant, the staff is marvelously accommodating and the dining room is to die for! Definitely worth your money, though it is expensive.
