CHÂTEAU DE PICOL ^{* * *}

We had a wonderful, multi-generational family holiday at Chateau Picol. The setting of the chateau is lovely and we particularly enjoyed the heated pool. The grandchildren loved it and spent most of their time in it. Thank you to Christian and Alla

We had a wonderful time at Chateau Picol with all our children and grandchildren. A really beautiful and peaceful place. The house was superbly equipped with everything we needed. Christian and Alla were perfect hosts; discreet but always readily available to help with anything. A lovely welcome basket of goodies when we arrived.
The pool area was perfect; beautifully cleaned by Christian every morning and the grass surrounding it was perfect for the children to play safely. We spent many happy hours in and around the pool.
We loved our bike rides to get bread and pastries in the mornings and there are plenty of lovely places to visit within an hour of Chateau Picol. A lovely holiday. Lovely hosts

We have just returned to the UK after a fabulous week at Chateau Picol with our family, to celebrate my 70th birthday. Plenty of space for 3 families with 3 boisterous little boys.
We could not have wished for more. It was a wonderful experience to have the family living in the Chateau with ample bedrooms and bathrooms for all.
The chateau which is owned and lovingly looked after by Christian and Alla. They could not do enough to make sure our visit was memorable. Always discreet and always available if needed.
We were greeted on arrival by Christian and Alla and given a hamper of local specialities. The chateau is beautifully decorated and adorned with antiques of the era. The kitchen is so well stocked, you can cook most things with a separate outside BBQ and terrace.
The pool and veranda are probably one of the most delightful features having private use of this facility is a joy. It is cleaned daily by Christian and heated to keep it suitable for the little ones.
We had booked a private chef (through Christian) for my birthday dinner and due to unforeseen circumstances, he was not available.
So, in stepped Christian and Alla to cook an amazing five course banquet meal of special dishes which you would not find in any restaurant in France or the UK. They delivered and served the food as well. An amazing effort by them and a triumph all round. A night to remember.
We purchased wines from Domaine de Villemont, Mirebeau, just a few miles away and worth a visit.
We ate lunch at Restaurant du Champ de Foire in Lencloitre. Amazing food and great value for money.
A daily trip to the bakery for the chocolate croissants and bread is a must.
We wish Chrisitan and Alla great success with the Chateau and we can highly recommend you stay here.

Un très beau château dans un lieu apaisant, calme, entouré d'un parc magnifique.
Merci à Christian pour son accueil chaleureux.

We have just returned from Château Paquerette after a wonderful family holiday with seven adults and five children. On arrival at this historical Château we were greeted by the owners who showed us around their magnificent Château with its beautiful antique furniture. They had provided a Welcome Pack of local food delicacies and essentials. The rooms were generous in size and decorated in keeping with the period. The kitchen was fitted with modern appliances and provided everything you may need. The rear terrace sited a larger table where we could all dine together and also barbecue. The heated pool was a great success especially with the children. The extensive wooded grounds were perfect for exploring and playing games. The hosts were wonderful, discreet but there if assistance required, as proved when one of our party needed to visit a Doctor. A tranquil place to unwind.
