Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Resorts Collection

The property is a very high end beautifully maintained castle. Our room had a beautiful turret and was beautifully lit. All the accommodations were top notch and the service was excellent I would highly recommend and I plan to return.

I love everything about this place, it feels like home. This is my third visit in as many months, and I will be returning as soon as possible! The staff have an easy manner, everything is possible here, nothing is too much trouble. They manage to provide the highest level of service with no pomp, fuss or unnecessary flourishing. The smiles are genuine and I look forward to seeing them again soon. The food is delicious and seasonal, everything is sourced mindfully and presented beautifully. There will be an excellent wine to complement your meal, I’m sure. Get George talking about the cognac, that’s a trip. I love the fact that you’re able to do whatever you want, whenever you want. You can swim at 2am if you please. The rowing boats and paddle boards are on the lake, ready for you to take out if you fancy it. The bikes are waiting to be taken for a spin around the grounds. You can fish if that’s your thing (the fish are gigantic). There’s a beautiful art gallery with two libraries, further to the library in the main building. The gallery space is exquisite, as good as the best in London and Paris, and the libraries are so thoughtfully designed, it’s an absolute joy to spend time in them. The hotel itself is crafted beautifully, the workmanship is a delight, the furniture and fittings are all substantial and of excellent quality- there’s just nothing to bring you down here, everything you touch and use feels good. Ok, now book it. I’m excited for you.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. I will definitely book more time there on my next visit.
