Château de Nazé0

This was our second visit; once again this little chateau, the warm welcome and attention to detail shown by Sebastian and his staff cast its spell on us. We love the park, the space, the character of the room (a different room this year, but just as lovely) its decor, the antique furniture, the huge windows for natural ventilation. The friendly informality and lack of strict rules (other than the sensible request not to throw anything stupid into the toilet!) creates an atmosphere of trust: you don't feel intimidated, just welcomed. The new swimming pool is longer, a rectangle instead of a bean shape, with a sun bathing ledge, smart modern safety cover (which scrolls away under the water) and has a bigger paved surrounding area with plenty of space for seating, sunbathing and reading. I gather there are plans to extend the terrace into a sunny corner among the roses. Once again we picnicked on the pretty garden tables on the front lawn, and once again Sebastian couldn't have been kinder, offering seat cushions, refrigeration for any food and wine we bought. We enjoyed the breakfasts too, both beautifully presented with home made cherry jam and a French version of marmalade to go with croissants, baguette and charcuterie, washed down with freshly squeezed juice and good coffee. The resident cats were friendly too. Chateau de Naze is brilliantly located if you want to buy wine - plenty of producers all along the Loire - and, for us, an easy drive to Caen to take the ferry home to the UK.

Maybe a bigger bath towel?

Characterful room with high ceiling and plenty of space. We liked the antique details - the huge armoire, pretty chest of drawers, little writing desk. Even though we arrived during a heatwave, it was possible to sleep well, closing shutters to keep out the sun by day, and opening up at night to harvest the cooler air. The hosts couldn't have been more welcoming. They accommodated my husband's dietary needs; they let us picnic in the evenings in the shade of the garden, they even chilled our wine for us. We felt like part of the family. The pool is lovely - deep and long enough to swim properly, as well as to have fun or simply cool off. We wanted to buy wine, and really appreciated Sebastian's recommendations. The resident dog, a beautiful golden retriever, was very friendly indeed. There was even a line on which to dry swim towels and kit. I'd say our stay was pretty near perfect.

Sebastien and Celine, our hosts, were so warm and gracious. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed, gave us information about sites to see and restaurant suggestions. The chateau was amazing! The rooms were exceptionally clean and spacious. We felt like we were royalty! The location was perfect for making short day trips to places we wanted to see in the Loire Valley. The town of Saumur (only 5 min. away) had many wonderful French restaurants. Sebastien prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning and served it so beautifully in the dining room. We definitely would stay with them again if we return to this region.

We loved everything!!

The Château is beautiful, the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your needs.

There wasn't anything we didn't like. There were a few things we would have to ask for like, drinking water in the room, milk for tea in the room etc, but if we asked they were happy to help. It wasn't a problem for us.

Beautiful location and amazing rooms with a peaceful tranquility. Clean and easy going.

I think the hosts are doing well, but if I suggest they can improve the verity of breakfast, since they have amazing garden that they can use to show case the place with extra vegetables and fruits like using that apples and other fruits.

beautiful chateau with large spacious bedrooms, charming and helpful hosts, lovely pool area, great continental breakfast with fresh, local and homegrown produce. Special mention for the most wonderful golden retriever who we just wanted to take home!

the shower in our room (Duchess) didn’t have a bracket so it was handheld which meant water went everywhere and floor got wet. This could be easily fixed.

What a wonderful experience to stay at Chateau de Naze, the host Sebastien was warm and attentive in every aspect. The property is beautiful and relaxing, we had a unforgettable family time. Thanks to Sebastien again.

Beautiful castle, very well located, quiet but close to Saumur, nice swimming pool and stylish rooms. The owner was very charming and made us feel welcome, they even booked a restaurant for us with a vegetarian menu (unfortunately still rare in this part of France). super cute dog and cat were a bonus.

Wonderful breakfast with homemade jams and a choice of breakfast meats, breads, eggs and drinks. Lovely setting but recommend arriving during daylight as it's definitely off the beaten track. Hosts Sébastien and Adrian were great! A very special experience-

The château is very beautiful in a calm location. The room is so nice with all these furnitures... feel like royals for a night. We had an nice, peacefull night in the garden! The hostess is so kind, helpful and friendly lady!!The breakfast is very nice.

Need some renovation I think... also the garden too.
