Chateau de Lalande

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL My husband and I walked the 38-day Chemin de Vézelay (Way of St. Jacques) and we can say without doubt this was an exception experience. Really, everything was perfect. We stayed in the gorgeous and spacious Grand Concert de Mozart room and didn't want to leave this lap of luxury. Our dinner was fantastic with the chef/owner cooking a gourmet meal. They have an extensive wine list so we splurged on a bottle of Bollinger champagne. The prices were very reasonable. Ohhh la la. This was a night in paradise. Seriously, stay here. Don't bother looking anywhere else.

Like other reviews, this is a special hotel. The main reason is the really warm, fun loving and upbeat owners who have more than just made us feel welcome. The suite room was full of character, charm and comfort. We loved the dinner service and it’s worth noting you need to reserve ahead when you book your room. Breakfast was convivial, plentiful and of a high standard. The young staff here were a credit to the estate. Plenty of outside spaces to relax and the pool was welcome after a day driving.

This hotel is hands-on run by the owners and that counts for a lot. If they weren’t so in charge, I’d probably rate the hotel a three star, as staff always seemed rather clueless, or simply could not be found. We had a lovely junior suite with everything we could want, only slight downside was the bathroom products were not very good (no bar of soap for example) so we simply bought some nice stuff when out sightseeing. A pretty building, with lovely original features, great modern pool and enough grounds to let you feel you have escaped – oddly no real external views as the property is surrounded by trees. Food was lovely, all the things I love from the region, wonderfully fresh and interesting combinations. Wine list was very good and we worked our way through it with great advice from the owner. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for lots of fresh fruit and the likes. Understandably, with business still picking up there was no daytime menu, or room service, but that wasn’t the end of the world as there are loads of great places to eat within a 20 minute drive. If in the region would certainly stay again.

Lovely chateau run by very attentive, multi-lingual owners and staff. Great (new) pool and extensive grounds. The restaurant is first class. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Un très bon repas sur une terrasse couverte donnant sur un parc magnifique. Je recommande vivement, occasion de revoir Catherine chez qui tout a commencé pour Julien... et de remanger de l'autruche avec un Condrieu remarquable. nous reviendrons sans attendre 10 ans !

Nous avons réservé à une belle table dans ce restaurant à deux pas de chez nous. Très beau château, cadre superbe Accueil tres bien Repas génial, un peu long mais normal à 8 convives Les escargots sont magiques et les desserts sublimes Nous avons passé un agréable moment Merci À bientôt

Magnifique château , chambres de très grand confort , parc extraordinaire Excellent accueil et service des propriétaires Lui est en cuisine et produgue des plats excellents Elle dirige la salle avec beaucoup de professionnalisme La propreté de l établissement mérite la note de 10/10 Prix raisonnables Je recommande très vivement

Maravilloso hotel con mucho encanto. Las instalaciones tienen el encanto del paso del tiempo con un personal encantador y que intentan que la estancia sea de lo más agradable. Sobre todo la cena y el desayuno son bonísimos una mesa magnífica sin tener que desplazarte y bien servido en un jardín muy agradable.

Chambre et petit déjeuner conforment à notre attente. Mais le dîner s'est avéré très médiocre, et pas à la hauteur d'un tel établissement. L'entrée, quelques lamelles de magret insipide, le plat principal (veau) tout aussi insipide accompagné de légumes froids, le tout choisi dans des propositions très limitées ( 2 entrées, Plat principal 1 viande, 1 poisson, 1 plat végétarien). Très décevant pas du niveau d'un château... à part le prix.
