We would definitely stay here again.

One of a kind experience. This was a peaceful and calm place to return to at the end of the day. We enjoyed petting the dog and walking around the Chateau grounds. Being into history, the mural inside lodge and the surrounding buildings was awesome to see. The sparkling wine made on site tasted great, too. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This was our first stop in a 12-day multi-generational trip. Chateau de Nitray is pretty. The flowers were in bloom and we were welcomed each morning by the property horses. We appreciated having four bedrooms and found the beds to be one of the highlights of the place. They were SO comfortable! Awesome location.When you book a "16th Century Hunting Lodge," you have to expect that it's going to be more rustic than a hotel. Things like cracked tiles/plaster, creaky stairs, low beams, a tiny kitchen, etc. - no problem. Unfortunately, the listing suggests a marriage of traditional and modern conveniences, but it doesn't quite deliver. Yes, there's plumbing and electricity and even WiFi, but there were also bugs (spiders, ants, moths, flies), dead and alive, mildew, and a feeling that was more cabin than house. The stairs were unnerving enough that we kept our luggage on the first floor to minimize trips up and down.I think they could balance some of that with some warmer welcoming touches - a note, water, local snacks, etc. We couldn't even find paper towels. The property staff also seemed confused to find us on site and kept trying to tell us they were closed. Those little things make a difference.This isn't reflected in my rating, but we were disappointed that the chateau was closed and we were unable to visit. Overall, I think this is a really cool option, especially for those who like more rustic accomodations. I just think the listing could be more transparent.
