The castle is stunning and we had an amazing time. If it weren't for a few kinks, it woudl be a 5/5. One note of caution: we paid Hotels.com for "Spa Access," but the hotel said that on their documents we had not purchased the spa access, and they wouldn't let us in to the spa, so our expensive fee was wasted. The castle itself is amazing: spires, a moat, magnificent grounds, winding passageways... everything you'd expect and more. Our room was huge with beautiful French decor. It came with a big TV, bathroom, minibar, and a separate entrance/mud-room area. The chateau is full of activities and free equipment: tennis, ping pong, biliards, an outdoor swimming pool, spa, bar, restaurant, golfing area, bikes, and (get this) rowboats you can take around the moat. The restaurant was fancy and delicious. In nearby Thoiry, there are restaurants, a zoo, and a castle. The surrounding countryside was beautiful. However, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, and it cost a ton for a taxi to take us there from Paris. They had put two single beds together to make a queen-sized bed (it was still comfortable). The restaurant is the only option, and its pricey. It was hard to find things to do nearby. The staff seemed a little green, and wouldn't let us into the spa. The bikes were all broken and needed fixing (but they were free). The restaurant ran out of tables (you should make a reservation before noon). Overall, an unexpectedly enchanting, relaxing, romantic, and unique vacation.
