Château-Gaillard 3 épis Gîtes de France

Just plucked from the internet, we booked in January for an August visit and included the evening meal at the same time. Such a delight when we were greeted by Gabriele and Claude and shown to the small but exquisite bedroom and accompanying bathroom. We shared the evening meal with them in the garden under the loggia and were later joined by three other guests for convivial chat, coffee and drinks. The meal was simply delicious, with the meat from a local farm and the vegetables from their garden. A memorable experience. Breakfast around a large table with the other guests provided a lovely atmosphere and a good start to the day. We would recommend a stay at Hotel Gaillard to anyone.

During our 10day round trip to France we slept at 9 different places. By coincidence we spent two days at this place and I must say it was the most beautiful house with the best welcome we have received. Here I would like to point out, that it was great everywhere, but here, at Chateau Gaillard, we would rate it as the top. The hostess who apparently manages everything on her own, working from dusk to dawn to make her guests happy, does an excellent job in many fields : the house with a beautiful interior, decorated very tastefully with period furniture, is absolutely clean, the garden is large and well kept, providing not only pleasant sitting outside but also all kinds of bio food you can only dream of (in the afternoon we received a generous snack : fresh raspberries with cream ; for breakfast we were offered fresh eggs etc.). The rooms look like those from a real castle, you even sleep under baldaquins in most of them. Last but not least to mention, is the hospitality and goodheartedness of the couple who offers this kind of accommodation. They show genuin interest in their guests´comfort, keep asking you about your needs and are there totally at your disposal. Saying this, I can highly recommend you to make a stop here whenever you are travelling in this area. Amazing quality for the price they ask, should be '4 épis' instead of 3. Dear Gabriela, thank you for all your care ! Hana Cermakova. Here, let me try to translate some of the above said into French : Pendant notre voyage en France de 10 jours nous avons logé dans 9 chambres d´hotes différents. Ca nous a arrivé de dormir 2 nuits ici á Chateau Gallimard et je dois dire que c´était la maison la plus belle avec l´accueil le plus chaleureux qu´on a récu. Il faut dire que c´était joli partout, dans tous les 9 places, mais ici, on l´a apprecé comme le vrai 'TOP'. L´hostesse s´occupe évidemment de tout : de la maison charmante, qui est toute propre et aménagée en bon gout (observez les détails meme á la table, quand vous prenez votre petit déjeuner : vous allez manger gatés comme les rois !) ; du joli grand jardin ou vous pouvez vous installer dans plusieurs coins agréables ; Gabriela s´occupe aussi de quelques animaux qui sont bien lointains pour ne pas disturber mais donnent de bio alimentation... On ne comprends pas comment fait-elle á réussir de fair tout cela dans une journée et de ne pas perdre sourir dans son visage... Quant aux rois, ca vous pouvez expériencer aussi dans vos chambres, parce que dans la plupart vous dormez sous baldaquins... La chose la plus importante était néamoins l´accueil extraordinaire, qu´on a connu seulement ici : le touche tellement personnel que depuis lá on se sent privilegés de se considerer des amis de Gabriela et son mari. Chateau Gaillard mérite certainement l´appréciation 4 épis au lieu de 3. Passez-y plusieurs jours, si vous pouvez, ca fera bien au votre corp et l´ame. Merci, Gabriela, on ne vas pas oublier ! Cordiallement Hana.
