Amazing stay
Don't go into Chateau Paray-Le-Fresil expecting all the mod cons and luxury but embrace the history and character it provide. Fishing lakes on site provided days of entertainment. The pool was checked daily and is a welcome relief from the heat. The lovely owner lives on site and is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The village is very pretty and quiet, no shops or pubs walkable (maybe bikeable if you bring one with you) but plenty to do and visit in local towns and villages. Would absolutely recommend for getting away and staying in some genuine French history

A peaceful stay at the chateau
Accommodation in a quiet location in an area with plenty of sights and leisure activities. Pleasant evenings by the fireplace alternated with breakfast on the terrace. The owner is very helpful and friendly.

Excellent - but don't expect perfection!
Wonderful chateau in glorious surroundings, excellent pool, very welcoming owners (marquis and wife living nearby). Don't book it if you want everything to be perfect: some of the building and its contents are in urgent need of renovation, the electrics are antique, the Wifi's erratic and there are bats and pigeons in the attics. But if (like us) you can live with this, you'll have a great and unforgettable holiday. We rented it for three weeks for a family/friends reunion and hope to return. jonxxsmith@gmail.com - happy to be contacted if you want to kmow more.

The chateau is beautiful - in need of some renovations but has an old world charm. Great grounds.
As with all things who you are with matters most. There were 10 of us and 4 kids - the amenities were great. Adults enjoyed cooking and eating outside with a view of the property and the pool. Do not expect luxury but do expect space with character and lots of charm. Hosts were great. Nice options for day trips.

Fantastische hide away
We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in het kasteel. Verwacht geen grootse luxe, maar wel charme, geschiedenis en vooral een waanzinnig mooi domein waar de rust onbetaalbaar is.

Lovely stay and view in historical surroundings
We enjoyed the stay in Paray and the castle very much. The property, with a nice view on the horses and a small lake,including the birds voices makes you awake in a good mood. There is all you need for a nice stay but don't expect perfection in luxus; it is an historical property and you have to respect that! The people who live on the estate, inclusive the owners, are friendly and interesting. We recommend a stay

week end familial dans un château chargé d'histoire
Nous avons séjourné dans un château orné d'un parc d'exception plein de ressources récréatives et de farniente bienfaisant, séjour orchestré par la capacité d'accueil d'Esmeralda et ses grandes capacités relationnelles... ça vaut le détour !!! Merci

Une idée du bonheur
Esmeralda nous a très bien accueilli dans son superbe château chargé d'histoire. Le lieu est magnifique, un grand parc pour se promener entre les étangs, admirer les chevaux en profitant de la grande table en terrasse. Les chambres sont grandes et presque toute équipée de salle de bains, La cuisine est grande et très bien équipée, vous aurez le privilège d'utiliser l'argenterie blasonnée du chateau, vous profiterez de grandes cheminées pour faire durer vos tablées jusqu'à très tard dans la nuit. Alors soyons clair, tout n'est pas neuf, tout n'est pas parfait mais ce chateau vit et vous parle, il ne manque rien et vous prenez place dans l'Histoire au milieu des photos des chatelains. Un immense merci encore à Esmeralda pour son accueil, sa bonne humeur et son humour ravageur. Elle faisait partie de notre groupe d'amis.
