Chateau De Saint-Maixant

Review by hotel critic

As a fashion photographer with a keen eye for aesthetics, my recent stay at Chateau exceeded all expectations. From the grandeur of the 15th-century building to the impeccable hospitality of the owner, Gérard, every moment felt like stepping into a luxurious fashion editorial. The personal touch of Gérard spending time with us at breakfast, sharing historical tidbits during check-in, and offering a tour of the magnificent grounds made us feel like royalty. The attention to detail in our Chambre Helene on the third floor was exceptional. The room's elegant decor, high ceilings, and stunning views transported us to a bygone era of French elegance and sophistication. The presence of a refrigerator in the room added a modern convenience that perfectly complemented the chateau's historic charm, creating a seamless fusion of past and present. The thoughtful amenities, such as daily replenished bottles of water, tea and coffee facilities, and the exquisite marble bath sink in the spacious bathroom, showcased a commitment to luxury and comfort. The peaceful surroundings, abundance of wildlife on the grounds, and the warm hospitality of Gérard truly made our stay a memorable, enchanting experience. Chateau not only exceeded my stringent criteria but also set a new standard for boutique hotels, seamlessly blending heritage, style, and hospitality in a way that felt like a curated fashion masterpiece.
