I am sitting by the glorious pool as I write this review. It will be be brief as my wine is waiting. All I can say is that the rooms are absolutely first class, the hosts even better than the rooms, and the dinner last evening exceptional. Accompanied by a great selection of local wines and the meal cooked by... More

My partner and I spent 4 lovely nights at Chateau de Charge, in the Boulangerie. Our accommodation was spread over two levels, with the fireplace and lounge area downstairs, huge modern bathroom and wonderful bedroom upstairs.

We had driven hours south of Paris. After the Forest of Chinon, we drove through the town of Chinon, and now we were in the very rural, pastoral countryside --nothing but fields of yellow and green. Very special. We turned onto a very narrow road, so narrow even two European cars could not pass. We came around a small clump... More
