La Borde en Sologne Château & Spa

I have traveled extensively in many different countries. I'm blessed to be, primarily, a luxury traveler. For me, this was an almost perfect stay. I say almost since the personnel at breakfast really struggled, and we were surprised to return to our room after being gone all day to find the room hadn't been serviced. This was solved when I went to Reception. We could never get through to anyone on our room's phone. Ok, that's the negative. La Borde en Sologne is simply wonderful! Travelers have different preferences. But, we both agreed this may be our favorite hotel experience. For several years, part of our travel is to discover places spontaneously. If someplace looks great, we have no problem driving off the beaten path. This was part of that unplanned travel, found through Tablet Hotels. It was HOT in Europe, almost 40 degrees (over 100 F). The grounds and pool(s) did not disappoint. WE HAD A MOST WONDERFUL, RELAXING DAY at the adult pool. My partner also had what was possibly the best massage he's ever had. An added perk since we imagined the spa would be booked. Drinks were great. My favorite is an icy Brut champagne with peach (a Bellini). Personnel at the bar and at the pool worked it out. Heavenly! We LOVED everything about our Room S1, though a little one was running in the room above us our 2nd morning - early. Our wake-up call! I loved walking around the grounds early morning/evening. The lovely flowers and everything else added to the experience. Jenny at Reception was a joy. Very professional and helpful. I'll be disappointed if I never make it back. Merci!

A wonderful property! A favorite for children who love the outdoors. Great service.

Fantastic gem Perfect start to a holiday

doctor place in middle of Loire valley; rural area with bugs and greenheads but incredible views, history, architecture, chateaus and so on; all hotel stuff was extremely friendly and nice; very good breakfast; well renovated; we enjoyed every minute there, pool, hamam; didn't have time for spa though... we will come back for sure

This is an extraordinary castle. The rooms and facilities are gorgeous. However the way the hotel is run is not geared towards customers service. For instance if it wasn’t for two people at the front desk we would of not had anything to eat during our stay. There is only one restaurant with limited availability and no room service. Unfortunately we stayed on a Sunday and a Monday when most of the stores and restaurants are closed in the area. We hope to return and will certainly make reservations way in advance.
