Tim Sullivan, Sep 2019
Had a wonderful week with friends in the magnificent Chateau Charly. A lovely place to relax; by the heated swimming pool, in the sumptuous rooms & the very well appointed kitchen - not to mention strolling round the extensive grounds!. Hosts Phil & Claire could not have been more welcoming and have provided copious notes about things to do and places to see. Such was the relaxed atmosphere we hardly felt the need to leave the chateau. Our suite was so grand, that it was even hard to leave the bedroom!
Lynda Fogg, Sep 2019
An absolute treasure of a place to stay with attentive hosts making sure our trip was comfortable & stress free. It’s a home from home with the added delight of the sun, relaxing pool & sitting out of an evening with friends & wine. I can’t wait to go back again & enjoy the markets & sights of the region around Chateau Charly. Thank you Phil & Claire.

A truly wonderful 2 weeks
Peterflute, August 2019
Breathtaking What a hidden gem! All the fotos of this Chateau do not do the place justice. From the minute you enter the gates and see this magnificent Chateau, glowing in the sunshine at the end of a sweeping drive, you know you are in for a treat. Our wonderful hosts. Claire & Phil greeted us and gave us a tour of the chateau & grounds. The interior is exquisitely appointed. All the rooms are large & meticulously clean. The bedrooms are huge and comfortable. The bathroom - lion clawed bath and walk-in shower - what more could you ask for after a hard day sitting beside the spotlessly clean and well-maintained outdoor pool.
There's plenty of places within an hour to explore close by, so if sunworshipping isn't your thing - Go to Bourges and wander around this medieval city, All in all, Chateau Charly is an experience I'll never forget and one I hope to revisit.

Un séjour formidable, à la hauteur de la promesse des lieux. Parfait pour les retrouvailles familiales, la vie de château en toute simplicité. La présence discrète des hôtes, leur gentillesse et l'attention qu'ils portent au bien-être des invités ajoute au charme du château. Bravo !

Incroyable de pouvoir vivre la vie de château dans ces conditions ! Le parc est immense, la piscine très agréable et le château impressionnant avec tout ce qu'il faut et plus encore (billard, baby-foot, musique, TV, etc..)
Claire et son mari ont été des hôtes très attentionnés et serviables ! Tout le temps présent pas loin pour répondre à nos questions/ lancer le gaz pour la cuisine/ installer les abords de la piscine, etc.. du grand luxe ! Parfait !
