샤토 드 라 지로디에르

This is a wonderful chateau for a relaxing stay. The chateau itself is beautiful, with charming authentic rooms that have a lot of character. The pool is a lovely spot to spend an afternoon reading a book and unwinding. The breakfast is excellent, featuring local products, and we highly recommend staying for dinner at least one evening in the romantic chateau setting. The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring that everything is taken care of down to the last detail. With only a few rooms, the stay feels very personal. Day trips to places like Blois or wine tasting in the Sancerre region are within a 30-minute to 1.5-hour drive. For us, this was a unique chateau experience which we highly recommend!

The interior is old (as it should be), but well maintained. The interior is why in different styles and eras, but everything works well together. Lots of light and little dust (it's often the other way around in old buildings). A small castle with only 5 rooms for visitors. NB! Since it is a private accommodation, it does not make sense to expect services at the level of an international hotel. The pool is not very big, but it is quite new and heated. Very quiet at night and nice birdsong in the morning. We stayed in a lot of palaces on this trip, and this palace was the smallest of them, but as accommodation it was the best. In our room, it was only possible to wash in the bath, but the hand shower hose was so short that you could only rinse yourself while sitting in the bath, it was unusual and a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast selection is not rich, but everything is there and we were full. Apparently by French standards the selection is very good, but in the north we are brought up with the knowledge that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that we don't eat sweets for breakfast. Our mobile internet didn't work there, but the house's Wi-Fi was OK. In a very remote place in the forest. It can be problematic to get there with a low sports car, as you have to drive a few kilometres along the unpaved road. There are several restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive.

We had the pleasure of staying two night at the chateau as we drove and explored France. The beauty of the chateau, the food, both breakfast and dinner was top notch! and most of all the generous hostess and sharing the history of the chateau, just an unbelievable time that we will never forget

Accueil adorable et très chaleureux de notre hôte dans cette jolie propriété nichée dans un écrin de verdure. Nous avons passé une nuit au calme absolu dans une très belle suite donnant sur le parc et la piscine. Literie XXL très confortable, produits de bains de qualité… tout concourt à rendre votre séjour exceptionnel. Nous n’avons pas profité de la table d’hôte car nous avions prévu de dîner avec des amis dans la région mais nous avons beaucoup apprécié le petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux. Le château de la Giraudière est une belle adresse à découvrir au cœur de la Sologne et je la recommande à 100%.

Nous, une famille avec 3 enfants adultes, avons séjourné ici du 23 au 26 août 2023. Nous avons passé des jours merveilleux au Château de la Giraudière. Le château est un joyau, dans un état magnifique et authentique, non défiguré par des rénovations insensibles, et pourtant en très bon état. L'accès est déjà magique : après un long trajet à travers beaucoup de forêt sur une petite route, on voit soudain le château devant soi. Claudine est l'hôtesse parfaite et très aimable. Si vous souhaitez un contact, elle se fera un plaisir de discuter avec vous, sans s'imposer. Il faut absolument réserver aussi la table d'hôte - l'ambiance est unique et la nourriture excellente. Ici, tout a du style, mais avec un certain understatement, on se sent tout simplement bien. Nous reviendrons !

Un accueil à la fois charmant et professionnel. Une très grande disponibilité, un cadre idyllique. Les chambres sont décorées avec beaucoup de soins. Je recommande également la table d'hôte. Hâte de revenir.
