Want to stay in a beautiful Chateau?

Chateau L’Orangerie

We found the lovely little Chateau L’Orangerie, when looking for a stopping place on a drive from Spain and just had to mention it.

Situated between Niort and Samur in Western France and surrounded by several interesting villages, it is ideal as a stopover or a few days break.

The new owners Chris and Barbara Muir and Debbie who is also in charge of garden renovations, are building a reputation for good food and service. The evening meal ( which you need to pre order and not included in the room rate ) was exceptional( you must try the gin soaked cherry tart!).

Breakfast at the Chateau L'Orangerie

The Chateau itself is well maintained, with a comfortable lounge and dining-room . There is no lift but the bedrooms are well appointed with modern wet-rooms, toiletries and hairdryer.

The outside is a work in progress but there are many lovely spots to sit and enjoy a drink in the sun. It was too early in the year on our visit for the pool to be operational, but it was in a large well fenced, tree lined area, that must be lovely to spend a lazy afternoon with a book in high summer.

We absolutely loved the food, warm welcome and service and would definitely recommend a stay here.

Just a tip. Don’t rely on a satnav to take you to the door. Use google maps or ring Chris if you get lost.
They also have Gites available.
