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!

We spent a wonderful 3 nights here with our two young children. The grounds are absolutely stunning, and we made full use of the various facilities. Our children loved the kids club and the little excursions to the play park and to see the animals. They enjoyed feeding the rabbits too. Jenny in the kids club was an absolute super star. My son has additional needs and she worked with him beautifully. What a huge asset she is to the hotel - friendly, kind, accommodating and with lots of good local knowledge! We went on bike rides (they had kids seats), on the boats - both free to use - and had 2 excellent meals in the restaurant. The croque monsieur was a highlight. The breakfast is varied and delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The family pool is great and has three levels, so our youngest splashed around in the top section (around 30cm) and our older son in the second section (around 50cm) and then there's the main deeper pool for the adults too. There's also an adults only pool which was nice when the kids were in the club. They currently don't do kids lunches - more snack stuff aimed at adults during the day until 5pm, so that's worth knowing so you can plan around. They booked us into a nearby pizza place for dinner on one of the nights too. A luxurious and lovely weekend had by all - thanks so much!

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 a real gem Perfect overnight stay with the family - wish it could have been far longer. They really have thought of everything ... then made it discreet.

A nice park, a nice castle but a poor service. We could not use the dining room as there was a party and were « offered » a cold dinner at € 100provided we took it in the bedroom before 6:45 pm. Not a word of apologies. The bathroom is made of cheap materials. Having taken a laundry bag to put my shoes after walking in the park, I was charged 4 euros for it having spent in one day 2000 euros in spas and room… unreal and laughable 😂😮
