Château de Maisonseule

A fabulous journey through time at the Château de Maisonseule. You feel drawn into the history of the place, into its vast walls steeped in history. It's possible to walk around the château a hundred times without ever seeing the same scene twice. The team welcomes you with great attention. We felt like we were arriving at a friend's house while remaining discreet. The heated pool is very pleasant, and numerous nooks and crannies in the grounds allow for complete disconnection. There's no noise except that of the wind in the branches and the birds—a true delight. We recommend the table d'hôte, which transports you to the Middle Ages, with fascinating historical stories, a beautiful 17th-century table, candlelight, silverware, and a delicious menu prepared with local products by the vibrant chef Benjamin. They were kind enough to show us around the other rooms of the château. If walls could talk... We stayed in a beautiful room with authentic character, very comfortable bedding, and an unusual bathroom. Bravo to Yves Lecoq, owner of the place, for doing good for the heritage, bravo to this friendly team for doing good for their guests.

This is a place steeped in history, romantic, and timeless. Exceptional and peaceful. This castle is a must-see... We greatly appreciated the staff who took great care of us, always smiling and welcoming, a staff with a sense of hospitality who never hesitated to make themselves available to answer our requests and do their utmost to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The manager is passionate, who devotes all his love to managing the castle and welcoming his guests. For example, among many others, he provided free bicycles for us to explore, and he himself created routes for us to explore the property. We were charmed by all of this. The only downside for us was the meal; indeed, €58 excluding drinks (water, coffee, or herbal tea) is a bit excessive, given that the cost of these drinks is just as excessive. The aperitif is also not included. €12 per person, which includes a glass of wine with a few slices of sausage, olives, pot-cooked chips, and a melon and ham skewer. It was tasty but excessive. Especially since we thought it was included in the €58 price when we were told "we'll be waiting for you at 7:30 p.m. for an aperitif." I think, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, I should clarify to guests what is and isn't included. Despite this small detail, we recommend going there with your eyes closed and letting the staff guide you. We ourselves have already planned to return this winter.

The castle is massive and magnificent. It accommodates a few couples with very kind hosts, even though they seem to be employees of the owner, who is none other than Yves Lecoq. The evening meal offered is not worth the €56 asking price: it consists of rustic recipes offered without a menu choice, even though guests are asked if there are any items they don't like. In short, a price of less than €30 would be more realistic. As for the comfort of our room, it is basic but tasteful, and sleeping in a real castle is priceless (but costly!)

An incredible place we discovered by chance. The staff is attentive, the rooms are very comfortable and huge, the castle dinner is tasty and plentiful, and the prices are more than reasonable. What more could you ask for? We dreamed and loved it.

Paradise is at Château de Maisonseule! The castle is magnificent and so well restored, nestled in 100 hectares of forest. The hosts are attentive.

What can I say, everything was so perfect! A magnificent, completely restored castle that truly takes you back in time. A splendid room with a magnificent bathroom (huge bathtub and shower), a breathtaking view, a beautiful pool, and perfectly maintained. The castle is completely secluded, allowing you to truly disconnect.

Very beautiful castle, completely renovated from the 15th and 17th centuries, with the possibility of sleeping and eating in the evening, beautiful walk around the castle. ..

We spent four nights in this castle. An incredible experience: The castle has been tastefully restored, respecting its history and offering all modern comforts! The owners of this exceptional guesthouse are attentive and shared with us the history of this castle and their epic journey through its restoration. Chatting with them was a real pleasure. The view of the castle and the grounds inspire peace and quiet.

What a wonderful memory our stay at Château de Maisonseule has! The place is magnificent! A huge building, the host gave us a tour while sharing anecdotes... Our room was spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Finally, the food served at the table d'hôte was divine and typically Ardèche! We can't wait to come back this summer! THANK YOU

Charmed by this timeless and extraordinary place, we discovered other paintings, other colors and took the time to stroll through the 120-hectare park. A sublime place full of passion and history. Total disconnection. Each room has a different character to discover.
