Hotel Golf Chateau de Chailly

Hotel and staff were lovely. Beautiful views, nicely appointed rooms and genuinely helpful and friendly staff BUT, all of the amenities described on their website when I booked the hotel in July were not available during our visit. Website said there were two restaurants, a fine dining experience and a more relaxed one. Upon check in, we were told dinner was only available in the fine dining restaurant and only breakfast would be served in the other. The website purported to have an onsite sommelier who provided wine tastings each day except Sunday (mind you, this property is in the heart of Burgundy, France). Unfortunately, our stay, included a Saturday night and when we tried to sign up for the tasting, were told the sommelier was off. Finally, since it was not really a day to soak up rays by the pool, we asked about the bikes, which were also advertised on the website, unfortunately for us, we had 6 adults and the hotel only had 4 bikes. Finally, in the evenings, the bar was not staffed and each time we wanted to order a drink, we had to ask the staff at reception to call someone in to take our order - either you’re open or you’re not. The area and property are unique and beautiful but unless you’re only going to play golf, I would skip this location as it is remote and not quite ready for a full French countryside experience.

We only stayed at Chateau de Chailly for one night, but wished it could have been longer. The chateau has been extensively renovated into a luxury hotel with a pool, spa, tennis court and golf course. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable, with complimentary tea, coffee and bottles of water. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, with plenty of choices for all tastes.
