This week has been such a delightful experience. The expertise & explanations of wines from Christophe was truly enlightening. The pairing of wines & food with Willem exquisite. Dominique's massages topped of the magnificent weeks stay here. It is so quiet and relaxing. Merci beaucoup to all and I sincerely hope it's au revoir and not adieu.
Merci à toute l'équipe pour le magnifique accueil chaleureux au Château de Mercurey, la neige et le grand froid ont aussi accompagné ce beau Noël. La cheminée, l'excellent chauffage nous ont fait oublier le froid extérieur. Très belle demeure, bien équipée, que nous rêvons de découvrir aux beaux jours.
A great stay, we go back to Paris for some of us, or south of France, and we will come back. Happy New Year from all of us.
13 of us had a lovely time in the Chateau Mercurey. 3 special occasions were celebrated: Christmas, a wedding anniversary and New Year's Eve. This was once in a life time experience and we relished it. The surrounding villages and towns were delightful, and the centuries of history mind blowing. We admire the fact that the chateau has been rescued and brought back to life. Well done !
Cher Christophe. C'était de nouveau une grande fête de séjourner avec toute la famille (17 personnes dont 8 enfants) dans l'une de vos magnifiques demeures. La dernière fois au château de Lans, et cette fois ci à Mercurey. Vu le temps magnifique nous avons passé beaucoup de temps au bord de la piscine et tous les soirs nous y avons dîné. Mais nous avons pu profiter également de toutes les autres possibilités: la salle de gym, le sauna, le hammam, le ping-pong, le jeu de boules... Nous en garderons tous un merveilleux souvenir et qui sait reviendrons nous la prochaine fois au château de Montsymond. Au nom de toute la famille, un grand merci !
Thank you for wonderful Christmas break !
Wine tasting, hiking up to see the statue of Mary, eating delicious food, swimming in the pool, playing billiards, playing bocce ball, riding the bikes, exercising in the weight room, visiting Beaune, shopping and touring La Moutarderie Fallot, visiting le Meix Foulot vineyard, touring the countryside. All in all a lovely and memorable week. Thank you !
Dear Christophe. We had a wonderful time at your fantastic château. Internally and externally very well equipped. Beautiful and extensive grounds. Sylvia & you have done a great job in renovating and modernising the chateau to a very high standard. Hope to visit your other chateaux in the future. Thanks again. Best wishes.
Thanks for a spectacular stay at Chateau de Montsymond again! This was our second time at the Chateau and we had a blast with that party! The pool was a lifesafer during the heat wave of 30 to 37°C. Christophe & Sylvia, you have done such great improvements since last year, especially the walkway through the castle park was great !
Cher Christophe & collaborateur,
Oui, nous commençons à nous habituer à venir aux kasteliades où l'accueil est toujours convivial et l'environnement exactement adapté aux besoins de notre petite tribu. Le soleil était au rendez-vous ce qui nous a permis aussi de visiter la région qui est pleine de bonnes surprises, culturelles, gastronomiques, sociales. Merci donc à tous les acteurs de ces projets qui ont rendu notre semaine agréable et vivifiante.
