Testimonials
“What a paradise! A unique place. Away from it all, ultimate tranquillity. Beautiful surroundings. Very good for gravel biking and hiking. A walk around the estate along the river is already 1 km! The town of Chatillon has a beautiful museum and great swimming pool for lane swimming. Dan is very friendly, full of stories and very helpful. Finally, the dogs Polly and Vespa are great entertainment. Beds sleep beautifully.”

“We spent an amazing 4 days with Dan and Hat at the incredible Chateau de Crépan. We were a large group of 14, getting together for the first time in ages & our hosts made sure we felt right at home. Beautifully renovated buildings with large, airy rooms & modern amenities. Nothing was too much bother. It felt like were we staying with our own family in a beautiful country setting - amazing food, walks to the loch where we swam in the cold clear river, a fire out in the fields under the moon… The surrounding area is beautiful, with forest walks as Polly the dog snuffled for truffles. We had an epic French Boules competition & drank some serious Burgundy wine. Cannot wait for our next reunion.”

“A unique place to stay. Its charm, style, tranquillity, and friendliness made it a beautiful and restful place. We recharged batteries, went swimming in the river and enjoyed excellent French wine, crémant and food. We highly recommend Daniel as a wonderful host.”

“It was very nice. Spent a week in the Gardener's Cottage as a family (four adults). There was space for relaxing, communicating, cooking together, playing, exploring the romantic park, swimming in the river (cold but beautiful) and interesting surroundings (Fontenay, Chatillon).”

“Thank you for these five timeless days. We enjoyed this long weekend in the house with our one-year-old baby. The place is beautiful, we loved every corner of the estate, swimming in the river, walking in the forests accessible from the estate, very good producer of fruits and vegetables. And especially the chickens, the vegetable garden and Polly the dog! We'll be back one day.”
