"We arrived at 6pm for Check in & even though there was a note on the door to say it was open, it was locked & no-one came to greet us. The yard was very messy & there were lots of cats everywhere. We left to find more suitable accommodation."

"We arrived after a very long journey and the welcome we received from Charlotte was amazing! She was so helpful and kind in making sure we had everything we needed! The accommodation was super clean and comfortable. And I don't know where to start with the homemade breakfast - we all ate so much as it was all really tasty and fresh. We will definitely stay here again when travelling through France!"

"Chambre petite et bas de plafond. Le lit est court (ne pas mesurer plus d’1,70 m) . Pas de télé, ni climatiseur, pas de sèche cheveux ni prise dans salle de bain. Promiscuité avec les autres chambres.
Les hébergeurs ne sont pas trop disponibles. Par contre joli domaine bien aménagé à l’extérieur. Ne convient pas aux personnes à mobilité réduite. Pas très bon rapport qualité /prix à mon avis "

"We were on a cycling trip. Check in was easy and the staff very helpful in locking away our bikes in a secure location. The beds were very comfortable and showers hot! Breakfast was standard continental with plenty of food available. Located a little out of town centre and surprisingly quiet.
The rooms are in need of some minor maintenance but comfortable."

Just to be clear my scoring system:
1/ Don't go, just don't.
2/ I can't recommend going
3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back
4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited
5/ I enjoyed it, would invite others there myself
Complete luck we found this place but it is AMAZING! After introducing myself with my very best French I was answered with a handshake and in a full English accent "Shall we speak English? I'm John!"
The decor, garden facilities are only equalled by the homemade...

Beautiful unique property in the centre of Medieval Airvault .Coffee machine and kettle in the room for tea and a little cake was supplied along with a new fan which was much needed and appreciated due to the extreme temperature during our stay.
Lovely continental breakfast. Would recommend.

Beautiful property. Wonderful host. Could not ask for more. We have stay in 8 hotels over three weeks of this holiday and this was the best bed and most comfortable.

This delightful old property in the countryside, with a welcoming host, diner was served in the garden & breakfast was very satisfying. We only stayed the one night while en-route through France, but could have stayed longer.

Our one night stay at Château Picol was our first experience in a French Château.
Our hosts served delicious food, which included local produce.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The best time to visit Saint-Chartres is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the region is at its most inviting.
During late spring, the countryside around Saint-Chartres bursts with fresh greenery and blooming flowers. The days are long and generally sunny, great for exploring the vineyards and historic villages without the intense heat of mid-summer. It's an excellent time for outdoor activities like cycling along the Loire River or visiting châteaux, as the gardens are usually in full display.
Early autumn offers a different kind of beauty, with the leaves changing colour across the vineyards and forests, creating a picturesque landscape. The weather remains mild and agreeable, ideal for wine tasting tours as it's harvest season. Many local festivals celebrating the grape harvest take place during this period, offering a wonderful insight into the local culture.
