Château Le Chastel Montaigu

Absolutely stunning accommodation! As you drive into the quaint village of Montaigut le Blanc - through twisty turny roads - you see the Chastel looming high on the hills above. Virginie or Anita will greet you and immediately make you feel welcome in their home. The castle is gorgeous and has been lovingly restored. Our room, like all rooms, was off the circular staircase that winds it way up the castle. It was beautifully decorated with a terrace so we had spectacular views over the hills from all sides. The bed was comfortable and the linen was pure linen and very luxurious. The décor was completely in character with a 12C castle but with the appropriate modern touches. Breakfast was wonderful and 'trés Français' and since the weather was perfect during our stay - we were able to enjoy it outside on the patio each morning. The village is sweet and there are enough restaurants for dinner. Virginie was very helpful with recommendations and to help make dinner reservations. Her mother Anita was very sweet and between them - they were the perfect hostesses. A perfect way to start our honeymoon!!!

Nice villiage

We have nothing but adoration for this gorgeous castle and the family that run it!! I found the property in the lonely planet and found their French website emailing them in English. Thank goodness for Virginie who can communicate beautifully in English. We booked for 2 nights minimum but extended our stay. The castle is lovingly restored and beautifully decorated. The surrounding old village is so picturesque... Photo opportunities from every vista! The views of the surrounding country side are breath-taking and the region is soo fabulous... We happily spent 4 days driving and exploring! Anita and Virginie are the sweetest hosts... They doted on our little son and made us feel very welcome. Our 13 year old loved exploring around the castle. The breakfasts were delicious... A different delicacy every morning. We absolutely loved our stay in le chastel and would return in a heartbeat! ||

We completed our week long tour of the Auvergne region with two nights at this amazing location. The photographs on the website do not really do it justice, there is a perfect authenticity to the building, even the parts that have been lovingly restored to accommodate today's travellers. We stayed in 'La Chambre Guerin' complete with hugely comfortable 4 poster bed. The views of the surrounding countryside from this room are over 180 degrees. A thunderstorm rolling through gave us an impromptu light show on the first evening. ||The breakfast in the morning was delightful, all the usual French delicacies and proper bowls of fresh coffee. Our stay was made all the more interesting having met and chatted to Virginie and her mother Anita. Thank-you to both of you for your hospitality and your company.

This beautifully restored castle on a hill above the Montaigut village provides stunning views over the rolling hills that make one feel like you are in a Cezanne painting. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a style sympathetic to the time of the Castle, but very modern in term of amneties and cleanliness. The family running this guest house are very hospitable and the food delicious. A perfect place to stay in to visit the region.

Nous avons passé 4 jours merveilleux dans ce château restauré avec beaucoup de goût. Un lieu exceptionnel, avec une vue magnifique dont on ne peut se lasser (que ce soit sur notre terrasse privative ou depuis le salon extérieur), des hôtes particulièrement prévenants et chaleureux, généreux de conseils et faisant tout leur possible pour nous rendre le séjour agréable, un petit déjeuner très copieux et varié (grand choix de thés, fromage local, gâteau maison etc.), un jardin magnifique avec des parterres fleuris, une fontaine, et mille autres détails enchantant les yeux.|Bref, lorsque la grille du château s'est refermée pour la dernière fois, c'est sur un lieu de rêve que nous avons eu beaucoup de mal à quitter. Merci à Virginie pour ce séjour inoubliable !

Tres belle découverte ce château , des propriétaires très accueillants et service au top. De très bons conseils pour les itinéraires et restaurants. Un séjour très au calme , endroit magnifique. Je recommande ce lieu Compagnon Sylvain

Tout était parfait, le cadre magnifique, la chambre est très belle, très propre avec tout le confort. L'accueil est très sympathique avec plein de bons conseils pour randonner dans les alentours. Nous avions réservé 2 jours, et finalement nous sommes restés 5 jours. A faire et refaire...
