Chateau de la Villedubois

We can't recommend this wonderful château highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we felt so much at home. There was a wonderful and warm welcome from the splendid châtelaine, and then we fell into the hands of her excellent daughter, Emilia, who keeps this wonderful family home up to a top-notch standard. We stayed in the beautiful and large Le Maître de Brocéliande room, which is gloriously decorated (just loved the wall-paper), and with a really comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. Everything is done to the highest of standards, including a breakfast boasting all the most delicious patisserie as well as a regional speciality, le far breton. However, the most lovely thing of all is how civilised the whole place is. It cannot be easy opening your house to strangers, but I really sense that Emilia and her family really know how to make this work. We were also extremely grateful for being directed to an excellent local restaurant (not easy on a Monday night in provincial France). Our only sadness is that we were only able to stay one night, but that is a problem that is easily rectifiable, as we will certainly be back! The area boasts lots of interesting features and remains relatively undiscovered, so there is a major pretext for a return visit, although to be fair, we'd want to be back just to stay at this château (the other rooms look magnificent too). We wholeheartedly want to spread the word about this divine place, so that others can appreciate the kind of 'accueil' that Emilia offers.

This was our first stay at a ‘chateau’ and it was amazing. The historical mansion filled with antiques was magnificent. The grounds were expansive and were well kept. Hospitality by the family was heartwarming. The rooms were well appointed , spacious and very comfortable. Please know, to get around, one does need a car. Our feeling is that we will be visiting more chateaus in the future.

A fascinating opportunity to stay in a chateau that has been in the same family for over 400 years, and to meet and share in their lives and history. Magnificent accommodation and spacious grounds.

What a fantastic place! Historic chateau dated from 16th century and is home for 12 generations of the same aristocratic family is beautifully decorated and in excellent condition. Perfectly clean. Wonderful breakfast. It was an honor to stay there. Thank you Emilia!

A memorable stay with lovely hosts. The place has an incredible sense of history and very impressive grounds; perfect for a stroll to soak in the atmosphere. Beautiful rooms and much thought put behind the breakfast which had local delicacies. I will remember this stay (some places you just forget) and we will definitely return.
