We loved the room we had, and it was such a beautiful property. The staff were really nice and very helpful. The restaurant was good but on the pricey end so we only ate there one night.
Good hotel and probaby worthy of its 5* rating but it wasn't quite there for me. The rooms in the annex are very small due to architectural constraints so access to both sides of the bed is pretty much impossible. The food was of a high standard, as was the service but the cleanliness of the restaurant was not so good (the cereal I spilt on the floor one morning was still there the next!) and there was a slight issue regarding the bill that we didn't realise until after we'd left.
The leisure facilities were good, the outside pool was clean and the spa well maintained. I would certainly return and recommend but it's still more 4½* rather than 5*
Winston and Arthur (dog and horse on the property) were definite highlights for us. Winston is the just the sweetest boy and Arthur is quite funny.
You probably want to hear about the property—immaculately clean with an excellent (human) host. Breakfast was a delight each morning. Plan your other meals ahead of time as the area is rather remote with a few options within a 15-20 minute drive. Otherwise it’s a very relaxing country getaway with little concern for the outside world. Absolutely lovely.

We booked a suite here for us and two children. The Rooms are tired and the bathrooms are really falling apart. The food in the restaurant is pleasant not exceptional but over priced. The pool again needs attention. It’s a shame as the staff were absolutely charming nothing was too much trouble, however the hotel itself is in desperate need of a refurb. We didn’t have breakfast as didn’t really think it would be worth it.
Disappointed with the interior of the hotel in particular the bedrooms. The room we stayed in No 1 had a bad smell of drains.
Our daughters room No 12 bathroom facilities were small in particular the toilet.
The waitress that served us for dinner breakfast and lunch was very good. The food was nice but more options would have been appreciated
This hotel is beautiful, the view is great, the spa was perfect and some of the staff were awesome but our junior suites were not air conditioned although they were represented as being air conditioned. Our friends and other guest we spoke with expressed the same issue: no AC.
Next: When you pay 300 euros per night one would expect they would have room in the restaurant they promote. We were told they didn't have room for us on our second night there. We could see they filled 12-15 tables outside and the 20 or so tables inside were kept empty. We did not expect to be told to go eat elsewhere when we tried to book our second night on the first night there. This hotel is in the middle of the country side. The best restaurant we could find was a burger joint. Not impressed! They didn't even offer to help us find a suitable restaurant. We would not stay there again nor would we recommend this hotel
The chateau has lovely rooms. We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, and the staff were very attentive and helpful. The hotel was convenient as a base for exploring some of the well-known chateaus in the Loire region. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.
I was at Chateau D'Artigny for the first time in 1979. I was happy to see that the integrity of the property has been kept up all these years. The property is current and updated appropriately but at the same time has retained its classic aesthetic appearance and feel. The staff were wonderful and of great assistance.

Dear Patrick,Thank you for your comment,We are delighted to have managed to retain the integrity of the castle after all these years We will pass on your comments to our staff.We look forward to seeing you soon,Best regards
What a beautiful, historic slice of heaven in the Loire Valley. Centrally located to visit Tours, Ambrose, Blouse, and Orleans! Not many eating options outside the hotel, so book early (L’Evidence). The staff was AMAZING. The classical weekend music concerts were an added bonus. Would absolutely return !!

Family stay at the Chateau d'Artigny
Beautiful place to stay for a few nights.
Specifically enjoyed the food - we had an excellent dinner on the first night and would highly recommend it to anyone contemplating a stay at the property.
Free bicycles on property (E bikes available for a fee) but unfortunately only adult sized bikes available so would recommend the property obtain some child sized bikes for guests to use as many families on site.
Pool area is tired and greatly in need of update - specifically, the sun loungers were old cheap and sagging, none of the outdoor sofas/chairs had cushions anymore (they would have had at one point) and most of the parasols were broken. There was an attendant on site very infrequently and limited drinks options which was a complete let down for what is meant to be a 5 star property. The pool needs maintenance as well as the tiles / cement is coming away and there is mould residue. The tennis courts were a nice features, as was the table tennis. The pool house toilet had no soap which was grossly unhygienic.
Our family room was sizeable and adequate. The toiletries were cheap quality. We were only given 2 towels for a family room of 4 people; the toilet cistern was not functioning properly and it took hours for the water to fill up and this was very noisy. We were given a very uncomfortable sofa bed for the 2 children and NO proper bedding so they were without a duvet/comforter which was disappointing.
Nice place, but tired and requiring upkeep ASAP. Not 5*.
The staff were excellent, very friendly and welcoming, and very helpful.
Beautiful surroundings and lovely cocktails!
We stayed in duplex junior suite over 2 floors in the pavilion which had plenty of space.
The experience overall was great. The château is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. A few things could be improved however, namely not charging 20 euro for using the spa. This is quite bizarre for a 5-star hotel. Also, there were no spa treatments available for hotel guests on the days we were there. There should always be a few last minute availabilities for hotel guests in my opinion.
The room was gorgeous and well maintained! Our only complaint was that the hotel food wasn’t so good. Also when we were there in mid Oct there were quite a few stink bugs everywhere- it prevented us from being able to open the windows in the room as a handful would sneak in when we did. Overall amazing experience and would stay again!
Beautiful location and surroundings. Check in was very nice and friendly. We were very frustrated with the dinner. While the food was delicious the service was lacking. We waited over 30 minutes to be able to order our first drinks and another 15 minutes to have the bottle arrive. The staff was courteous but not helpful. One person in our party was trying to decide between two dinners and asked the server about the dishes. The response was one is seafood and one is poultry, not helpful.
We thought that our reservation included breakfast and were shocked to see a charge of 25€/person. The breakfast was fine but no better than a continental breakfast anywhere else. We waited for 15 minutes for eggs to be brought out. What we expected to be a highlight of our trip ended up being underwhelming and pretentious.

A good hotel but too expensive for its level
Nice looking hotel but from inside this hotel is old and not adapted to the level it is sold
Room are clean but furniture really very old
Same for the bar which is noisy and uncomfortable
Food is good
We are traveling with our large dog through france and this beautiful chateau was just right for our stay as we booked a room which is located outside of the castle we can easily walk through the forest and enjoy limited contact with other persons. The second room choice is recommended.
The staff is kind and the wine and dinner pairing is exceptional they really know the nuances of the flavor profiles in the region. We would stay here again.
The room we were given was basically far too small, at the very top of the castle requiring climbing stairways after stairways. Not that optimal as an experience. On a positive note, the staff is helpful and good customer service overall.

Marvellous restaurant and chateau
The chateau is magnificent and dinner in the restaurant was superb and a true experience.
However the outside areas were not at the same standard. Our room was quiky a d very comfortable.
Fascinating place and history. Dinner excellent if service a little inattentive. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool perfect temperature. Room could do with updating but public spaces fantastic.
Lovely way to break a longer journey south. Peaceful location, great views and very welcoming to us and our spaniel. Do book up dinner in advance as the food is excellent, with great service too.
We will try to stay here again in the future.

Dinner was Amazing, staff very helpful, but property overall needs tons of updates, carpets have stains, doors and walls need refreshing.
Lovely setting and excellent restaurant. Bed however was really really (too) firm and our room suffered from noise from the breakfast room below and from staff packing down after a private dining function along the corridor. Not really a place for children so was surprised to see so many youngsters and babies staying.
Beautiful building. Pleasant employees, especially Quentin.
Good service in restaurant and bar.
Would have liked a coffee shop and someplace cozy to hang out.
Would have preferred the “formula” dinner menu to change from Friday to Saturday evening.

The property has beautiful garden and overall setting. But the room needs to be updated . We ate in the restaurant, the food was pretty good but a bit expensive. The spa facility was turned off and it was hard to find the person to turn on. I did enjoy staying here.

Bed was very small and uncomfortable. Bathtub/shower was narrow, hard to get in and out of and slippery. While the robes were nice and the towels large, none were soft.
Staff was friendly and helpful, restaurant was amazing and grounds and actual chateau were beautiful. Pavillions not so great.
