A very pretty and original little 19th-century château. In excellent condition. The decor and layout are tasteful and perfectly suited to the setting. It offers complete comfort and a warm atmosphere. Everything seems designed to make you feel pampered and immediately at ease. Absolute tranquility. The grounds are also perfectly maintained and very pleasant, with many majestic trees. They exude serenity. If the weather is nice, you could spend hours there with a book, watching for squirrels. The welcome was warm, attentive, and friendly. We learned a great deal about the château's history and the restoration of the antiques. There are, of course, many in the château, chosen to complement the setting. We also thoroughly enjoyed dinner and breakfast. A place worth discovering!

We were driving from Germany to Spain, and were looking for a place to rest half way through our journey. Chateau Picol was the perfect spot for doing just that. After 8+ hours of driving Chateau Picol was a the kind of place where you ca retreat, rest, have a nice dinner and a comforting night of sleep, all with the personalized care of Christian and his wife. Should we have to make the same journey again in the future, we have found our spot to recharge, and keep going.

Absolute trauma! Wir haben mit der gesamten Familie, mit 3 kleinen Kindern, wunderbare 2 Wochen im Chateau Picol verbracht. The Park is a Traum, the Pool and the Super Terrace, and all of them are very pleasant, so they also have a lot of fun. Das Haus war sehr sauber, die Zimmer liebevoll eingerichtet, und die Küche umfangreich ausgestattet. Auch für Kleinkinder and Babies stand alles zur Verfügung. Christian is a toller Gastgeber and super sympathisch. Wir kommen gern wieder!

Chateau Picol is wonderfully comfortable house set in a very restful shady garden. The pool is lovely, very well maintained and perfect for a family with small children. We very much sat on the terrace enjoying the cool of the evening. All three generations had a very happy and memorable family holiday.

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming in an enchanting setting. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Russian dinner prepared by Alla. Thank you again for the advice and the history of the castle. Peaceful and relaxing. Very close to Futuroscope.

A huge thank you to Mr. Christian Hureau and his wife for the wonderful welcome they gave us. Thank you also for the meal, prepared with such care, worthy of an excellent restaurant, as delicious as it was generous. Their outstanding service and kindness deserve to be highlighted. Christian's passion shines through in every detail and contributes to making our stay truly unique. Château Picol clearly deserves to be known and recognized for its true worth. Whether for an evening, a weekend, or even a week, everyone will find something to enjoy. Between the swimming pool, the magnificent grounds, and the absolute tranquility of the estate, everything is in place for a stay that is both romantic and convivial, whether with family, as a couple, or with friends. An exceptional stay that we recommend without the slightest hesitation. A huge thank you again to you both!

Perfect for a relaxing holiday. We had 3 generations of family, using all the large bedrooms, benefitting from all having en-suite facilities. Only negatives were a bad mattress with ill-fitting sheet in furthest room on 1st floor; despite the large, beautifully kept and interesting fauna and grounds, no space for sporting activities (other than the excellent pool and table-tennis table); and finally the documentation saying we could arrive at 4pm, whereas the owners believe 5pm. Christian, the owner, was always very helpful eg.providing some bikes for the trips into the local town (2km) for bread and bars etc. May be useful to know there were two excellent coffee machines, one Melitta for filter, the other a Senseo for pads. And one activity to recommend: an unusual triathlon of cycling, wine tasting and kayaking around Chinon. In summary, I would highly recommend.
