This was without a doubt the most special place I have ever stayed. The chateau has been lovingly restored by the family, and they work so hard to ensure each guest has a wonderful stay. They are warm and welcoming. We hugged when I departed-you begin to feel a kinship almost immediately. The property is stunningly beautiful; the rooms like something out of a Jane Austen novel. Lots of sweet animals to love on. I slept like a baby in the comfortable bed. The food, all organic and locally sourced, was just excellent. I never wanted to leave. Do not miss out on staying at this magical place! It will be the highlight of your trip no doubt.

Absolutely nothing. It was beyond perfect.

I do not normally respond to these surveys but Chateau ecologie was so good that I feel compelled to do so. La patronne put us at our ease immediately and the atmosphere was one of relaxed grandeur. Perhaps one matter to note - this is definitely a place for animal lovers - friendly dogs, cats, horses pigs and sheep around the house.

Lovely unique middle-age small chateau with real character and ambience. Quiet location near the fantastic town of Le Puy en Velay. Lovely generous host. Accommodation is bed and breakfast style. Rustic furniture. The breakfasts were generously superb.

Breakfast was wonderful with local food and good service. Our berdroom was huge and lovely. I would recommend this venue to others.

Maybe a second relaxing chair in the bedroom. Otherwise it was perfect.

This is a great little chateau which we (family with young kids) enjoyed very much. Francoise was fantastic, telling us all about some lovely things to see in the area and very happy to allow us to use the table in the sun to eat our picnics. No restaurants nearby and we arrived by train so we visited the supermarket before getting a taxi (10 mins) to the property. We had to call for a taxi from the station, so you'll need to be prepared to do that! We felt very welcome to visit the sheep, pigs, poultry and play in the grounds. Lovely couple of nights' stay.

We loved it but a few things to mention - we arrived by train so as I say above, you need to be prepared to call for a taxi to get you there. We then had a hire car the next day and so it was much easier from then. WiFi was great within the chateau but obviously chateaux from the middle ages have thick walls so we didn't get WiFi outside. Not a problem but worth knowing. Likewise, this is an old chateau, run by a farmer - it isn't modernised with a huge number of modern facilities. It was chilly in the room, but this was as we had expected it, so not a problem.

Fantastic building with rustic natural beauty. Our room and turret bathroom was amazing. We had a fabulous breakfast prepared by our lovely host. What a special place to stay. Highly recommended 100 % if you want an experience to remember.

Very nice to stay in a genuine ancient chateau which is an historical monument. The restoration has kept the ancient character of the building. A unique experience. The breakfast was wonderful and the owner so friendly and helpful.

setting is stunning … bringing you back to to another century : beautiful little farm / castle rooms have a lot of charm : antique feeling yet all the comfort you need excellent breakfast with local products and home made jams / honey and pancakes friendly hostess who is passionate about the castle / the farm / her animals / history / … very close to le puy en velay. we found it as a stop-over but it’s soo with a detour and will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay. The Chateau is beautiful and in a great rural idyllic location. The host was wonderful and couldn’t be more helpful and provided an unbeatable breakfast. We only stayed one night on our way through France but would highly recommend.

No complaints at all

Place is really nice, located in an old castle from the 13th century. Inside the room we had there was an amazing bathtub located in one of the towers from the castle. Breakfast was really good, homemade crepes, bread, marmalades, cheese, salty pastries etc. And really nice people living there (mother and daughters) and taking care from the castle. They gave us a nice dinner when we arrived late including some wine, it was Halloween and it was decorated with some pumpkins.

Nothing to remark.
