We stayed a suite which was fantastic. Four poster bed, chaise longue, dressing room and fabulous views of the grounds. The outdoor heated swimming pool with sunloungers and bar was very relaxing and comfortable. While dinner was a little expensive in comparison to other restaurants in the area, the whole experience of dining in a canda labra lit room with... more

There was so much which was great about Les Briottieres. OK, the rooms were sumptious, clean and comfortable, and the food was very good (even though there was no choice). The host was great as well, and clearly is passionate about his property. The best thing of all was the location: all we could hear was the sound of cuckoos... more

We stayed at Chateau Briottieres a few weeks ago and were delighted with the chateau itself---it was built and has been inhabited by the same family since 1840. It is filled with a perfect French ambiance including beautiful, antique furnishings, exquisite draperies, wonderful food and a huge park with running horses, an old chapel and greenhouse, pool and tennis courts—and... more

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights. We had originally intended to stay just one, but we really liked it and ended up staying longer. The owner and his family were very friendly.
