Château de Nieuil

We toured France 28 yrs ago and stayed at Nieuil then. Our first return rekindled happy memories of that first stay and we were not disappointed with our second. A lovely chateau, family run, very welcoming, lovely room, excellent setting, good breakfast, swimming pool, bicycles, tennis and excellent restaurant.

We booked this last minute as another hotel had let us down which threatened to ruin our holiday. Although it was one of the more expensive options we were not disappointed. The service was friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. We were given a complementary drink on the terrace. The pool area was lovely. We ate at the on site restaurant which provided an inclusive gourmet menu for vegetarians like me, this is really unusual in France. The meal was centred around fresh, locally grown baby vegetables cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. There was a choice of wine also included. The grounds are beautiful, the chateau itself is typically shabby chic but the air conditioning worked well and it was very comfortable. We would stay again and recommend it.
