Fantastic Setting , Very Helpful Staff , a really wonderful experience to be remembered forever.

The location was very convenient and the food and presentation was fantastic.

Chateau du Rivau is a wonderful place to stay. The service was exceptional - the communication so responsive before we arrived, even booking us a reservation at a local restaurant (we arrived on a day the hotel’s restaurant was closed) and helping us when we arrived later than planned due to roadworks. The room was beautiful - a lovely combination of period and modern style, with a great bathroom. I highly recommend enjoying the gardens in the evening (if arriving on a day restaurant is closed, consider bringing a picnic and staying on site).

Unbelievably gorgeous! Thomas had everything we needed covered, from arrival to dinner reservations off-site because (so sad) their restaurant wasn't open the one night we were there. The tour of the Chateau was a major highlight. The art collection was my favorite thing! Breakfast was delicious had homemade yogurt, was incredible! Their rosé was excellent! Definitely get it!

I can't say enough about the exceptional hospitality we received, they were fabulous. The facility itself is incredible! The history, attention to detail, beautiful gardens, great breakfast, etc. I highly recommend staying here, just be sure you schedule extra time to explore all of it's wonders!!

the setting, the restaurant, the gardens, the room itself.

Gorgeous traditional looking French chateau which has been sympathetically restored with contemporary touches. The gardens were a real bonus and very interesting to look round. We loved our room which was very spacious and comfortable. Excellent meal in the restaurant with great service.

The Chateau is stunning and the grounds magical. It has a real fairytale feel to it. The food was excellent in the gastronomic restaurant as well. We loved our visit and would definitely visit again.

The chateau is unbelievably good; it is just like a dream: a fairytale. We arrived late and were guided to the secret garden restaurant. What an astonishing location for a restaurant within the castle. The food was the best food we have enjoyed in France and all the better for the beautiful location. Service was incredible. The chateau accommodation was a delight and magical. This is top class accommodation with incredible views of the main chateau building. The breakfast was excellent. Overall, a high quality stay in a magical, fairytale chateau. The owners have clearly taken great care to make the chateau perfect. Thank you so much.

It is rare to arrive at a property and find that it looks even better than it did online. The chateau is truly stunning, the gardens are beautiful, the room and bathroom were beautifully appointed and everything was of the highest quality. The bedrooms themselves are in the converted stables, with views over the chateau and garden (photo is of our view). The materials used in the conversion are outstanding and the owners’ taste and vision are apparent everywhere.
