EXCELLENT Based on 32 reviews Cindy Bernard2025-06-05 An extraordinary stay. The place is sublime, whether it's the château or even the park, everything is breathtaking. We only stayed one night, but we'd like to return as soon as possible. Christian, the host, is very pleasant and takes the time to talk and explain the history of the place during the visit to the chateau. We chose to have dinner at Christian's place and we ate very well, it was copious and once again Christian takes care to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We slept in the Framboise room, the bedding was very soft and plush, everything was very clean, and the bathroom with toilet adjoining the room added to the comfort. And above all, the price is really very affordable for the quality of the service and the beauty of the place. In short, I warmly recommend this address, you won't regret it. Thanks again to Christian for his warm welcome, and to his wife Alla, who keeps a low profile but plays a key role in the magic of the place. Gill Boyman2025-06-05 My family and I had an extremely enjoyable week at Chateau Picol. The only sound in the amazing grounds were the birds. The chateau is stunning with beautiful rooms.

Superb accommodation and region. Thanks to the lovely hosts who helped make our stay memorable. ALISTAIR EWING2024-08-23 Chateau Picol is a stunning and elegant holiday destination, set in exceptionally beautiful grounds, all of which are caringly presented by Alla and Christian. The accommodation is luxurious and spacious, perfect for our party of ten adults and six children. The pool was beautifully warm and cleaned everyday. Our six children had a wonderful time. The external seating areas offered a charming terrace overlooking the grounds and a shaded dining area for the entire party. We would highly recommend this property. nishi patel2024-08-13 We had a wonderful family holiday at chateau picol. The house is immaculately clean and the grounds and pool in particular are spectacular. Our children spent all day every day running and cycling around the garden and jumping in and out of the pool. Alla and Christian are wonderful hosts and quick to respond to any queries. We also took the opportunity for the catering option and the meal they cooked was delicious. The location is rural and you will definitely need a car but that just adds to the sense of peace. Highly recommend.
