Restaurant L'Instant Présent

Overall, we enjoyed our one-night stay. We especially appreciated the quality of the dinner dishes, which were truly excellent from starter to dessert, and the setting with the golf driving range. The room price is a little high given the small size of the room and the decor. That said, the bedding is excellent.

Very good stopover. Good quality bed, ideal room for a stopover in a very pleasant setting, beautiful building, magnificent trees in the park. Room recently renovated. One downside: too small a bottle of water for 2 people.

This hotel is perfect. Top class rooms, building , restaurant and location.

We had an overnight stop at this hotel and it was amazing. The room was very comfortable and the restaurant and staff were exceptional. Will be returning for a longer stay next time.

No air conditioning 28 degrees in room 107 which overlooks the restaurant terrace and impossible to open the window because of the noise until midnight Good dinner but very very few side dishes, 2 potatoes

Everything was perfect

I highly recommend this quiet place, ideal for relaxation.

very good stay in a quiet location in a magnificent place

I had a Fabulous stay

Les chambre 4 est trop petite pour les 2 grands lits ce qui fait qu'il ne reste quasiment pas de place autour des lits. J'ai dû déménager le nécessaire à boissons chaudes dans l'embrasure de la fenêtre pour poser mon ordinateur (15 pouces) sur la minuscule tablette. Même déménagement du téléphone et de la télécommande pour poser mes médicaments et mon smartphone sur le petit tabouret qui sert de table de nuit. Un seul tabouret-table de nuit et une seule chaise pour une chambre prévue pour 2 personnes.

It would be better to close than to open halfway and sell mediocre service.

Votre lieu est magnifique mais nous avons été très déçus pour plusieurs raisons :
J'écris rarement de retours, mais là je dois le faire car votre hôtel n'est pas à la hauteur de ce qui est annoncé sur booking, et n'est pas à la hauteur des principes de l'hôtellerie. Peut être en tant qu'accueil de mariages, je n'en doute pas, mais pour séjourner simplement à l'hôtel, c'était très décevant :
- La chambre proposée (comfort triple) n'avait rien à voir avec ce qui est montré sur booking, nous avons demandé à changer, c'était mieux mais ça restait différent des photos mises en avant, moins esthétique, bien moins grand. Aussi, pour un séjour dans un château ce serait bien de prévenir que beaucoup de chambres ne sont pas dans le château, car c'est ce qu'on attend en réservant.
- l'accueil du restaurant a été déplorable, on aurait dit que certains employés était dépités d'être là.
- pour des choses simple comme : demander une chaise haute pour les enfants, on nous a répondu que ce n'est pas possible et qu'il n'y en a pas. Pourtant en allant aux toilettes j'ai vu 2 chaises rangées.
- Le petit déjeuner le lendemain a été une catastrophe et nous n'étions pas les seuls à le penser (ce petit déjeuner est pourtant annoncé comme 'superbe' sur Booking). Plus grand chose à manger à 9h15 (le petit dej est jusqu'à 10h); des gobelets en plastique car plus de verres, pas de possibilité de faire marcher la machine à jus d'orange car la personne en charge ne sait pas changer le bac; pas de possibilité d'avoir une table vers les fenêtres.
- dans l'ensemble, nous sommes des clients normaux avec des attentes normales, si toutes les choses qui ne sont pas possibles nous avaient été annoncée avec du respect et la forme qu'il convient dans ces cas là, nous pourrions comprendre, mais le personnel n'a pas été agréable, mis à part la personne qui nous a changé de chambre et que je remercie.

Absolutely perfect in every way

Very nice discovery, very peaceful place in nature, welcoming staff and good advice

Very nice place

Very beautiful location and accommodation with a very nice and quiet environment. We received a huge warm welcome with excellent service.
The room was very nicely decorated and very clean, nothing to complain about it at all. We enjoyed an excellent stay!!

Electric charging

Superb castle. The rooms are perfect and up-to-date. Excellent welcome at the hotel reception.

My second stay. This time with six people. Very good service and very clean.

Pure happiness, welcome, setting, service...

As part of work, I had a very good overnight stay. I highly recommend this place. The owners are very friendly and I ate very well and slept well.

Very decent building with good rooms

Very good stay. Very pleasant hotel. Very comfortable bedding.

Lovely evening stopover in a magnificent location. Friendly staff at reception upon my arrival. The room is well renovated and very quiet. Restaurant in the vaulted basement very pleasant. The starter (cream of asparagus) was very nicely presented and excellent but I liked the main course less: the fish (Malabar grouper) was elastic and undercooked. The person in the dining room was very professional and responsive (very appreciable fast service) Good products at breakfast (despite the limited choice for a 4* establishment)

Fantastic chateaux, with beautiful views. Room / suite was excellent with good layout and views over the lake and valley beyond.
location is out of the way but surrounding villages very interesting and worth visiting

Very pleasant stay in a beautiful setting

Quality and quiet room

A quality establishment! We will definitely come back when we are in the area.

a particularly pleasant stay in this castle.

Superb experience, we highly recommend it to our friends and family! To be repeated soon!!

Welcoming and attentive staff. A magnificent setting. Perfect.

Excellent establishment and very friendly welcome with

A superb hotel renovation. The restaurant renovation is less successful, a little too neutral with overly present safety equipment. For an evening meal, the pace of service was too fast. As for the food, it was generally very good, with one downside regarding the scallop carpaccio, which had to be prepared in advance, which caused it to lose some of its flavor and freshness. As for the welcome, it was perfect, with very pleasant and professional staff.

Simply perfect.

A magnificent place to recharge your batteries, a very beautiful castle tastefully restored, the rooms are spacious with interior decoration

Tranquility and fluidity, everything was appreciated

Very nice establishment in the middle of a pleasant environment. The staff are very attentive both at the reception and at the service in the room. In short, we had an excellent weekend. I highly recommend

Very nice establishment, the welcome, the place and the quality of the catering at the top. The attention for the reception of our dog in the room is just adorable. Chargers for electric cars in the parking lot.

Problem when arriving to validate the Groupon coupon I was asked to repay a room, finally reviewed the next day with the receptionist everything was ok

Very nice place. Everything was perfect

Very beautiful, relaxing place. Calm, invigorating and magnificent building.

Great location

Very very beautiful frame

Very nice professional experience at the Château de Valinches during a corporate residential seminar. Warm and professional welcome, the rooms are impeccable, comfortable and tastefully decorated, the meals served very good. I highly recommend this establishment!

One night with meals and breakfast. Perfect! The welcome, the rooms, the environment, the taste. Thank you for this beautiful moment.

Staff was very helpful and the environment was very nice

Everything was perfect, the castle was very beautiful, the room was very nice, the bedding was incredible 😍. The restaurant was a treat. The staff was very pleasant.

Belle découverte

Perfect

Great! Very pleasant welcome, the place is really pretty, all redone, the room was spotless and very pleasant, we had an excellent stay, even with an introduction to golf!

Exceptional place with a very affordable price

A change of scenery less than 1 hour from Saint-Etienne. Beautiful estate

Offered as a gift, it was a nice surprise Location, welcome, accommodation and service Small downside: breakfast without much choice and variety which would gain from being on a par with the other services For the dishes which are very good, worry about allergies or certain oppositions (eg: excess of onions...))

We came for New Year's Eve, we are satisfied with the hotel but more mixed regarding the New Year's Eve.

Just disappointed not to have a bathtub. Very welcoming staff. Magnificent estate

Very beautiful castle, enhanced by a quality renovation and adapted to modern life. A pleasure for the eyes. Very pleasant staff while remaining discreet. We will return without hesitation.

Heel vriendelijkheid, personeel zeer professioneel, prachtige omgeving en een keuken om van te snoepen.

Very nice place, renovated with taste and preservation of heritage. Welcoming and helpful staff, provision of lounges for our family group of 16 people. Thank you.

Excellent accueil, restauration très correcte,
Chambre très cocooning.

very nice surprise for our first time in this establishment (romantic weekend to celebrate our 6 years of relationship) very warm welcome and consideration of our needs (my darling on crutches) stay of 2 nights + breakfast + meal Saturday evening remarkable and pleasant place even in winter season bravo to the hotel and restaurant teams we will come back with great pleasure!

Comfortable and clean room located in a beautiful outbuilding.

Sehr schöne Lage, super Zimmer und hervorragendes Restaurant

The hotel is very well located, on a human scale, close to Marols, a small, decorated and picturesque village. Very nice renovation of this castle, nothing is missing for the comfort of the residents with a bistronomic restaurant hosted by friendly waiters. Some difficulties with the management of the heating but quickly resolved. We will certainly return during the nice days to hike in the surrounding paths.

top!

Everything was excellent, except for a very bad experience at breakfast!! Arrived after a group, there was practically nothing left and I was told that this is what there is!!, and basically breakfast was extremely limited in choice!!. We also asked for a vegetarian option which was good but very simple and still small in quantity..I recognize that you have to save money but when you get to the point of stinginess, it's a shame and disappointing.

Very good experience for a one-night break away from everyday life that allows you to take a break. Small downsides for the room where we found packets of crisps under the bed. We were upgraded since there was a wedding and our first room given above their room. At the restaurant, the glasses were dirty (lipstick marks) and the order was not taken properly. Despite this, we recommend the place.

The site is beautiful and the rooms really comfortable, tastefully decorated and particularly clean. I recommend the generous breakfast with good quality local products.

Very good food and very comfortable room in a magnificent setting. For golf lovers, superb practice in the park

Thank you for your little attentions. Pleasant setting.
