Saint-Etienne-De-Saint-Geoirs Homestays

I can’t recommend this gorgeous little chateau and restaurant enough. I am a very picky traveller and appreciate places that are excellent quality and offering something different than cookie cutter hotels and the chateau did not disappoint. To begin with the grounds and hotel itself are stunning. Every day there was a gardener tending the gardens. The chateau itself is so beautiful and tucked away a short drive from a a small village set in the stunning countryside. They have done a fabulous job of mixing old with new and the decorating style is really fun and fresh. My room was large and tastefully decorated and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely ladies who work there. They honestly were so very kind. The pool was a welcome blessing given the heat and there is a cute bar right beside it. But the food deserves its own accolades. By far this was the best meal I had in two weeks away. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and the service impeccable. And very reasonably priced. All told I can’t recommend the Chateau des Ayes enough! Thank you for a lovely visit.
