샤토 도드리외

We had an amazing time at the Chateau d'Audrieu. In addition to the location and the building which are great, the team was very nice, the service outstanding and the food -both at the bar and at the restaurant - was absolutely stunning. We also had an incredible and unique experience in staying in the tree room, 15 metres above the ground in a beautiful wooden bedroom very comfortable. We did experience the unique feeling of having a shower or a drink or sleeping in the trees, among the birds! Truly a moving and amazing feeling. Thank you very much to the staff, we will certainly come back

This Chateau is beautiful, serene and very relaxing! We really enjoyed staying here. Thank you to Sebastian, the concierge who makes sure EVERYTHING you need is received in a very timely manner. Another thanks to Leopold in the Bar Restaurant. So accommodating and friendly. The food was amazing and the service even better! Would highly recommend staying here when you visit Normandy. The best!

We stayed at the Chateau for 5 nights in April. The building and grounds are beautiful along with the gardens . The rooms are well appointed, quiet and comfortable. Cleaning / fresh amenities and turn down services were a bit spotty. The included breakfast was fresh and plentiful with a great staff that was friendly and efficient. Keep in mind that you will be at a distance from most attractions in the area, like Bayeaux, the WW2 historical sites including the Caen Museum. I would suggest pre arranged tours. If you need transportation, the staff will arrange for you but please follow-up as we had some issues when they " forgot" to call, almost missing our train. Additionally, you may want to make dinner reservations in Caen or Bayeaux if you don't want to eat at either of the two restaurants at the Chateau. Le Saran ( their main restaurant) is very good but closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and they typically don't change the menu more than weekly. The alternative is their 1715 bar with more of casual menu. Both can be on the more expensive side. There is some great history here and this inn has allot of potential but I think they need to upgrade the involvement and numbers of their staff .

The chateau is impressive and has a historic WWII story, but it is remote so if you don't have a car, you are limited to eating at the hotel. Due to the remote location, they have a hard time hiring staff so be prepared for a 3-4 hour dinner (even eating in the bar).

An elegant hotel with exceptional service. The gardens are beautiful and rooms well appointed. The five course meal Le Seran was remarkable. A short drive from the American and British/Canadian beaches. In addition to the D-Day sites, I highly recommend a short trip to Bayeux. A truly special place to enjoy the Normandy country side. My highest recommendation.

5 stars is not enough. Booking Chateau d'Audrieu was the best decision, and unquestionably one of our favorite parts of our 10-day trip around France. About a week before our arrival, I called the hotel to ask about bedding and was nervous because I don't speak French. I believe it was Fabien with whom I spoke. He immediately (and warmly) spoke to me in English and assured me that the beds are excellent quality and very comfortable. When we arrived very late, Nelson was so kind to run out to us and help us with our luggage. He gave us several tips on how best to enjoy the Chateau what to expect during our time in Normandy. He then walked us to our room. It was incredible. We have stayed at many 5 star hotels, but I don't think I've ever been as charmed by a hotel room as I was by our Junior Suite. The ceilings have to be at least 15'. The hot air balloon decor was so pretty. The wood floors were beautiful, the bathroom was very modern, and the bed was very comfortable! Everything was perfect. One thing I want to mention is the personal attention to detail. When we first arrived, there was a bottle of wine, a welcome note, and a jar of cheese crisps. Over the course of our stay, we didn't really eat the cheese crisps. One day when we came back from our outings, I noticed that they had placed a new jar next to the bottle of wine, with butter cookies (having noticed that we weren't eating the cheese crisps.) Another such moment was when I had taken a small bottle of apple juice from the mini fridge. It was delicious, from a local orchard. Later that day when we arrived back at the chateau, a larger bottle had been placed in the fridge. I should mention that these items were a gift and free of charge. I know I'm giving a lot of detail, but I used to work at the Ritz Carlton; these acts of attention were trained into us as something guests should expect from a 5 star hotel. But not all luxury hotels are created equal, and to be honest, I haven't seen it much over my years traveling. However, I was very pleased to notice it at Chateau d'Audrieu and was very appreciative. We never had a chance to eat dinner at the Michelin star restaurant, Le Seran, on property, however we did have breakfast each morning and the food was very fresh and delicious. I had a delightful avocado toast each morning and my husband had a custom-made omelet. He requested some sort of hot sauce. They didn't have any on hand, but went out of their way to make one with a special type of chili pepper. Alexandre Le Grand, Nazar, and another man with blonde hair (I wish I had gotten his name), were so kind in serving us at the restaurant! Everyone at the hotel whom we encountered was lovely and kind. Nelson, Fabien, Alexandre Le Grand, Nazar, Anna Marion, the nice blonde gentleman, (and one other lady whose name I didn't get)...thank you! You truly raise the bar for kindness, hospitality and luxury. We can't wait to come back again.
