Never seen a 13th century castle restored so well. The owners are spending a fortune on decor and amazing furniture, It feels like a 5* hotel, I find the pricing an incredible bargain. One suggestion: please offer soy milk for coffee during the vegan breakfast (I stopped using cow milk for coffee yers ago, it’s much healthier then the “cow extract” , the taste of the coffee is the same). I was a little intimidated to stay here because I know very little French, but my husband speaks some French, so between what he could say and google translate, we were able to converse with the friendly owners of this gorgeous chateau, which was adorned with flowers and ivy, and had a few cute cats roaming the grounds. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and the atmosphere was quaint. We ordered dinner and dined in the courtyard. Our meal included bread, a soup, a main course, wine, and the most amazing dessert! They told us a little about each course when they brought it out, and we learned that many of the dishes included vegetables fresh from the garden! The zucchini soup was delightful, the main course was flavorful and generous in size, and the dessert was so creamy and sweet, my husband said he never would have known it was vegan. Over dinner, we had the opportunity to meet an adorable French couple, who were staying there as part of their journey to reproduce the walk of Robert Lous Stevenson (we had no idea about this phenomenon but it sounded really fun!). The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast, which included a fluffy vegan croissant (vegan croissants are basically non-existent in the US) and and a delicious assortment of spreads for the bread. The only drawback was that we happened to go during an unusually extreme heat wave, so the temperature in the room we stayed in was a bit warm for our comfort (not nearly as bad as I had feared--the walls of the chateau kept it much cooler than the outside temperature), but I think this would not be a problem under normal circumstances. A magical place highly recommended. The hosts are wonderful and renovated this castle full of history with love, care and knowledge. Our room was like going back in time with all the mod cons and very confortable and quiet. The vegan dinner was a delicious surprise to top it all off. We loved the atmosphere and the cats everywhere and the setting in autumn is just beautiful. I can't rave enough about our stay at Chateau de Cambiaire. Eric and Corrine are warm and welcoming hosts, anticipating their guests' every need. They and their family have done an amazing job restoring the chateau--an important part of French patrimoine--in a very short time. It's right on the Chemin de Stevenson, so lots of hiking to be had out their door. Meals shared with other guests were delicious and convivial too. We stayed for three nights in an apartment (la Calade) in the chateau. Very large lounge dining, kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Lots of space. It's very well appointed and you really feel part of a much older time. Beautifully done. The hosts Eric and Corrine are delightful - friendly and helpful. They have really worked hard to make what was a ruin, into a truly atmospheric, historically considered, place for visitors to the region. The food is vegetarian and for those who like some meat, there are a couple of very good restaurants nearby. My only suggestion for improvement would be a better reading right in the lounge - a small matter. Charming place, lovely restoration work with taste and eye for the details. The owners are warm and friendly. We loved the local produced vegetarian dinner and lovely breakfast. The place is not super easy to reach but it is well worth the ride. Thanks for the lovely experience!!!
