L’appartement est très beau, fort propre et bien équipé. La propriétaire nous a accueilli avec chaleur et amabilité. Le site où se trouve l’appartement, le parc du Château de Rochefuret, est d’une très grande beauté, calme et silencieux. Tous les services (épicerie, boulangerie, essence...) sont à 5 minutes en auto à Ballan-Miré. Les plus beaux châteaux de la Loire ainsi que quelques-uns des lieux primés Plus beau village de France sont situés dans un rayon de 90 kilomètres dont certain à 15 minutes. Des balades inoubliables d’où nous revenions avec bonheur sachant que nous nous retrouverions dans le cadre enchanteur du Château de Rochefuret. ##### Francois T.

But Rochefuret Castle is the ideal place to stay and visit in style. The hosts are great, the place is amazing, a real castle which can be anytime in the visiting circuit. And if the castle is not enough the surrounding estate forest is even better. A place you can get lost within the property walls. Privacy of stay, entry and exit at any time, the guests house is a separate unit, own garden, a very comfortable place to relax after a day of roaming around. ##### cosmin a.
