Beautiful chateau, gardens are gorgeous, great hosts, great breakfast, I can’t say enough good things about this place. One thing to consider is there is no afternoon or evening dining within a walkable distance. You must drive to town.

This was the highlight of our stay in France. The chateau is stunning and Bernard, the host, was very friendly. You feel transported to a different time. It is remarkable. The room was spacious, comfortable and the view of the Mont St Michel from our room was the icing on the cake. The breakfast felt like something from a movie. The absolute best place to stay.

Quaint chateau that won't disappoint.
This chateau was AMAZING! Super clean, the owner was probably the best host we've had at any of the chateau's we've ever stayed at and the decorations here were easily the best we've seen. The owner is an antique collector and everything on display was perfect for the era of the house. The amenities were superb and the breakfast was fantastic as well. Not just the normal bread and juice that you get from most of the other chateau's. There were a selection of jam's, cheese and bread. As well as egg's and many of the jam's and juices were made on the property which gave it a more homey feeling. We will definitely be back to this place soon. It was too perfect to not do it again. We only spent 1 night here and will most definitely be spending more than that next time and I'd suggest you do the same.

Wonderful stay at this 18th century Chateau. We were greeted by Bernard, the owner, who did us best to make us feel at home. Breakfast was wonderful and the walk through the garden, heavenly. This is a place to unwind and relax, no tv here but there is wifi for those so inclined. But escape the 21st century for a while, its worth it.

Very friendly host who welcomed us with refreshing cider and made sure the breakfast was absolutely fantastic! Best breakfast we have had this year with organic apple juice, apple cake and tasty special scrambled eggs. Followed with a relaxing walk around the lake with swans and peacocks. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

Charming stay at the exquisite Chateau Chantore
Charismatic expert hosts Bernard and Ignaki transported us back in time to the 18th century and made us feel like a noble family staying at the exquisitely restored Chateau Chantore with fantastic view of Mont St. Michel in the backdrop. After wide research of chateau hotels, glad that we made the Chateau Chantore the choice and owner/host made our stay a magical one.

A destination experience in its own right
A wonderful experience. The owners are incredibly welcoming. We arrived later than expected or wanted, however, upon notifying the owners of our delay, they were nevertheless warm and friendly. Moreover, they jumped into action to find us a place to have dinner at the late hour; called to reserve a place for us and ensure we would be welcome; and the dinner turned out to be the best we had in France! The premises were like staying in a museum. Nothing was missing. The beds are small, and the floors are creaky, but this is because the experience is authentic. Breakfast was over the top, and personally attended to by Bernard (one of the owners). A hop, skip and a jump to Mont St. Michel. Staying at Chateau de Chantore is its own destination experience, and we highly recommend it.

Charming historic chateau with lovely hosts
The chateau and grounds are beautiful! Restoring it has clearly been a labor of love for the hosts. They are very welcoming. Two potentially minor drawbacks. First, it's out of the way unless like us you want to stay between Mont St Michel and the Normandy WWII sights. Second, as a historic property there's no air conditioning, so in the middle of summer the rooms get quite warm. Fortunately it cools off at night, so leave the windows open and it gets to an acceptable temperature. Overall, it's a wonderful place to stay if you're in the area!

This hotel was by far our best hotel experience of our vacation. The chateau and property is authentic and impressive. The host bought and restored the 18th/19th century building and landscaping and furnished it with authentic period antiques. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (the bathroom is so large you need panorama setting on your phone just to take a photo). Breakfast was delicious and served with ample china and silverware in the formal dining room... kind of a Downton Abby experience if it were in France. The host is eager, personable, attentive and knowledgable and determined to make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this chateau.

Charming French experience
This is a wonderful and charming french getaway that is tucked away in a small village in the Normandy countryside. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and historical. It felt like we were being transported back in time in the sense that the decor was very well restored. The hosts Bernard and Inaki were warm and very helpful with local recommendations for places to visits and eat.

Stay here. You will not regret it. Must have the breakfast. The whole estate, all the land included, is so well taken care of. Service is amazing. I could tell you about all the details, but others have said the same thing...and I agree. I would love to go back and see the stone water tower in the forest, once it is completed.

Amazing doesn't even fully descrive it
Bernard and Itzhaki are the proprietors of this amazing chateau and estate. And it seems they have purchased this chateau to house their amazing art and furniture collection (mostly Louis XIV-LouisXVI era). Chatting with them about all of the details of the collection, the chateau and the grounds was easily our favorite part of the stay and they willingly answered all of my many questions with enthusiasm. Our room was stunning and well appointed with a modern bathroom and shower. The balcony overlooking the estate and Mont St. Michel was lovely. They serve an outstanding breakfast of homemade baked goods, jams, juices, cheese and ham, as well as eggs on request. They will also point you in the direction of great restaurants nearby or make the reservations for you. You must save time to walk the grounds. They are nothing short of stunning. Horses, swans, peacocks, a lake with a waterfall, 200 year old rhododendrons, a stable… the list goes on. In the summer it stays light until quite late, so we walked around the grounds both evenings. They do allow small children and when we were there there was a family with a toddler who ran up and down the halls, screamed until late at night, sang throughout breakfast and left her belongings in the common hallway, which did detract from the stay so keep that in mind if it is something that would bother you.

Beautiful Stay
We only stayed one night at the Chateau, so we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to explore the grounds. The little that we were able to see was beautiful and such a needed break from the chaos of Paris. The hosts were helpful and very kind. The breakfast in the morning was delightful. We loved the homemade apple juice! We also enjoyed the breads and pastries, but we very excited to have some freshly made eggs. Overall it was a pleasant stay. I would suggest making sure you arrive in daylight hours because it was a little hard to find at night in the rain.

What an experience!
If you'd like a taste of how the nobles enjoyed the French countryside in fine style, this is it! The hosts are incredibly attentive, informative and gracious, the Chateau is sparkling clean and the grounds are pridefully maintained. Loved the warm greeting, our walk on the grounds complete with visits to the horses, black sheep and swans. The room was spacious, the backyard/sunset view was spectacular, the linens are high quality, our bathroom renovated with modern upscale fixtures was squeakly clean and well appointed. It was our best and longest sleep so far during our travels! So quiet and comfortable. Recommendations were provided for excellent local dining. Exceptional breakfast in the dining room complete with period silverware, china and most foods harvested from the estate. We will return!!

This was our second visit to this remarkable chateau, and well worth the trip from Australia. If you are in France, you must do whatever you can to visit this magical destination. The wonderful, convivial hosts, coupled with the dream destination of a 17th century restored chateau with gorgeous local views make this a stay to remember. The breakfasts are nothing short of spectacular, in a beautiful dining room filled with antiques and art. Strolls around the magnificent gardens and wider grounds are an absolute delight. The hosts are very knowledgable about tourism in the local area, and have wonderful activity and restaurant suggestions that will only enhance your time at the chateau. This experience is nothing short of magnificent, and we are grateful to the hosts for sharing their beautiful home with guests. The only complaint, was that our stay was not long enough. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you!!

Bernard and Inaki have a beautify Chateau and create a lovely and welcoming experience. Their attention to detail in the design and hospitality was wonderful. The Chateau is in a great location to experience Mont. Saint Michel without being in the midst of the crowd. It is also located about an hour from the landing beaches making Chateau Chantore and idea base for a Normandy vacation. We hope to see you again.

Beautiful Chateau in Normandy
We loved our stay in Château de Chantore. Bernard was an excellent host who gave us wonderful recommendations and helped us make restaurant reservations and generally make the most of our stay. The Chateau itself was recently lovingly renovated and restored by Bernard and his partner to an 18th century French style, and the house is filled with art and furniture that they'd been collecting for 18 years! We stayed in a suite with a view of Mont St. Michel and the alcove bed was quite charming. We didn't get a chance to wander around the grounds, but they looked beautiful from the window and the surrounding country-side was stunning. Breakfast was a continental breakfast, but was anything but simple! Every morning we had a choice of coffee or a selection of fine teas, orange juice, honey from their own apiary, excellent croissants and other breads/cakes, fruit, yogurt--and eggs and ham on request. I loved the beautiful dining room and china we ate on as well! The Chateau is a fairly easy drive to interesting tourist sights--we stopped by Giverny on the way from Paris, and took day trips to Mont St. Michel, Saint Malo, and Cancale. I would definitely recommend it and hope to return!

A Royal Treat Near Mont Saint-Michel
My partner and I wanted to visit Mont Saint-Michel and spend a nice evening in the French countryside at the same time. Château de Chantore answered was the perfect answer. The chateau is situated on absolutely stunning grounds that transport you back to the life of a noble in the 18th Century. The proprietors are warm and welcoming, the accommodations opulent, and the breakfast splendid. I can't recommend staying at Château de Chantore enough!

Beautiful property Very quiet.
This is a restored chateau, very beautiful. The manager was outstanding and very helpful. The breakfast was amazing and made us feel like royalty. The only kick I had with this place was slow internet, but it wasn't the property's fault. Cell service and Telecom infrastructure in the area is not the greatest so can't really blame the B&B. This is way out in the boonies and without GPS could be a tad hard to find. We loved the quiet out of the way location, that said, it was easy to get to Mont Saint Michelle.
