This was a wonderful place to stop midway between Geneva and Dordogne. It is located near the famous volcanoes of Auvergne. The castle was actually rebuilt in the early 20th century but still has some nice historic touches and beautiful stained glass windows in the breakfast room. We had a large suite on the ground floor, wheelchair accessible and very... More

My wife organised a special get away for us on our first anniversary. We had a great room with views out both sides of the castle. We enjoyed a swim in the wonderful underground pool hidden away in the cave. Shared an apperitif in the gorgeous old bar. At the end of April it was a little chilly, but that... More

POSITIVES Pleasant and efficient reception staff. The room and bathroom and living room/kitchen (where the kids had a bed setee) were very sizable. The Chateau itself was beautiful outside - in a quiet location with lovely views of the valley. Outdoor pool and also an indoor pool. The boys loved a session of golf practice in the driving range within... More

What can I say about the Chateau de Maulmont: it's expensive (though not crazy-expensive), but hey you only live once lol. I realize that's not very objective however, so here's a bit more detail. The Chateau is located in a great area that overlooks a picturesque valley, it is very near to the town of Vichy (yes, the same Vichy... More

We had chosen the Chateau de Maulmont for a nice and sophisticated stop on our way to the Côte d'Azur. The surroundings and the Chateau are very pleasant, our bedroom was big and comfortable if a bit dark on the sunny afternoon we arrived. We could notice the red staircarpet inside was in need of a good hoover. But these... More

The chateau was exactly what we wanted. It was just beautiful. Restaurant was excellent, the owners delightful, the staff couldn't do enough for you. We upgraded from a "comfort room" because of stairs and were out in a suite which was really good. The history of the renovation of the Chateau is very interesting and the Owners (her father was...

I was first greeted by a lovely woman Elliot who helped us to every end, even though we had arrived late. Staff were friendly and very helpful. It's in the countryside so be prepared to drive a while to get to anywhere but that is why we stayed there to get a dose of the french countryside. The pool was... More

We spent a wonderful two days at the Chateau with very friendly and courteous staff. Our room was fantastic, we were upgraded to King Louis Phillipe's room which was very special! We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant, although wouldn't rave about it. We loved our bike ride with the free bikes provided to explore the amazing grounds and nearby... More

The new term for being 'ripped off' in our family is 'I have been Maulmonted.' The chateau is beautiful and could have easily been the treat that we were expecting at the end of our holiday. Unfortunately, we were bitterly disappointed. Before we went I suspected the restaurant would not be an ideal place to take my three year old... More
