A pleasure to meet Marcel, a good guy with whom we can really talk a lot. Sleeping in a castle is something unforgettable. You will eat like kings, because Marcel is a chef.
Thank you again for this week and we will surely come back but this time in the summer.
Thanks for all. Florent and David.

Marcel and Katya were very nice to us and we felt very comfortable there. The job was very easy but sometimes challenging. It wasnt a problem because we handled it. Marcel and Katya are very artistic people and… read more

We had a great time at the Castle. In exchange for cleaning the windows, cutting some grass and help with some cleanings, we got to relax and visit the nearby town. We stayed just for a week during the summer, and we had the opportunity to meet also a good friend of Marcel and his stepmother. All wonderful people and great hosts who warmly… read more
