Château de La Ballue - Teritoria

My wife and I had an unforgettable time on our honeymoon at Chateau de la Ballue! The chateau is located pretty perfectly. It's set away enough to be peaceful and secluded, but you can reach multiple cities or towns between 5 and 45 minutes. A vehicle is a must have here. Driving into the chateau's front gate was a wonderfully surreal experience. The architecture and landscaping were immaculate - it really feels like you travel back in time! This extends to the chateau's interior with multiple common area spaces. The real joy is the outside space behind the chateau. Large, masterfully curated areas with gardens, statues, landscaping and a massive view of the French countryside. Plus, an area with chickens and ducks near a pond which we found very pleasant. The Diane Room was spectacular. Again, it felt like time travel walking into our room. The window view is of the front entrance of the chateau. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a full bathroom which contains only a bath, but we shower-only people actually managed to enjoy it! Some light construction noise above our room only during midday as they were doing some renovations, but we were not bothered by it because we were off enjoying the other areas of the chateau. The staff was very polite, helpful and accommodating. We had a great conversation with one of the chateau residents, Theo, who welcomed us upon arrival and was available to assist us for most of the day and evening. The breakfast was fantastic and kept us full well past lunchtime. Staying here was a highlight of our honeymoon, especially considering how good the price is for what you get. We both couldn't believe we were actually getting to stay there. That's how cool this place is. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at Chateau de la Ballue. The grounds are breathtaking, the chateau fills like you entered a fairy tail and pool is a great addition to already perfect stay. We enjoyed two days at the chateau and met its wonderful owners. We would love to come back and recommend this place when exploring Normandy .

This was the best place I have ever stayed. The house is absolutely stunning, with incredible design and attention to every detail. I wanted to take photos of every single corner. The beds were wonderfully soft and comfortable, and the beautiful fragrance from the diffusers made the whole house feel even more special. The hosts were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfasts were simply amazing—absolutely delicious! The gardens are breathtaking and so peaceful. I honestly wished I could stay and live in this beautiful home forever. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience!

An incredible home run by a very lovely and welcoming family. I visited with a friend for 2 nights. We absolutely loved the chateau and beautiful gardens. The family owners were very welcoming and took incredible care of us from morning until late. The rooms were very comfortable and a great size, and we both slept very well. There's a very beautiful breakfast in the dining room, or served outside at one of the tables overlooking the garden. For a casual lunch, their public tea room offered some simple but excellent options for a casual lunch (we took it as a picnic to eat by the excellent 15 metre pool, which is discreetly tucked away out of sight in between the gardens). The hosts were also very accommodating and happy to put together a charcuterie and cheese board or serve drinks throughout the day. Overall, a really enjoyable stay, and we would gladly return for another visit. Well located for visiting Mont St Michel and easily accessible from Rennes.

Totally wonderful in every way, our hosts & staff charming and very helpful. The Chateau beautiful, romantic and lived in too! And, the gardens are exquisite, precision topiary, dreamy glades, hidden ponds and sculpture. Visit the shady tea room for a glass of chilled white wine!

Everything was great, a truly wonderful experience. The place is simply incredible, with spectacular gardens and an atmosphere that conveys peace and elegance. The service was excellent, and every detail is thoughtfully designed. Without a doubt, a place I will return to. Thank you

A beautiful place with unbelievably gorgeous and well cared for gardens, authentically lavish interiors and extensive grounds. We got a very warm welcome from the chateau's owners and their adorable dogs and pups and did not want to leave. The perfect dreamy place to visit for the real living in a 17th century chateau feeling. It is only a short drive away from Monte Saint Michel, but is a standout gem in its own right. We got lucky with the weather even off season and got to enjoy the Chateau's views almost in full privacy. The breakfasts are also worth mentioning: they were filling, delicious and beautifully served.

The house and room are not as advertised. There are cobwebs and dust in the room, it has an unpleasant odor and is overall, not well maintained. The paint is old, dirty and unpleasant to look at. The website looks amazing and lovely. Sadly, the house has not been maintained and the website does not reflect the condition of the property. The glass in the large mirror was mostly distorted and unpleasant to look at. The whole room is in need of a complete makeover. The office / reception desk had an overwhelmingly strong odor of cigarette smoke. The location is 20 minutes to the closest restaurant. I am very sorry to tell you that we were very disappointed.

An Wow! What an amazing experience it was to stay at this exquisite Chateau. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. The love and the care the family puts into perfecting and maintaining the Chateau and the beautiful gardens is outstanding. We also felt very spoilt with the amazing breakfasts. We especially enjoyed walking through the gardens every morning.
