I have to say the bed was not the most comfortable ever, but it did the job. Also, the empty castle at night can be a little spooky, especially if you didn't grow up in one :)

Definitely not your usual accomodation. It is a full blown experience. A 5-storey castle where every single corner of the house, every centimetre of space, of wall, of floors, is filled with history and magic. You can cook in the perfectly well equipped kitchen, but you can also spend time admiring the original copper pots and pans (each of them a work of art in itself) or the 3-meter high massive wooden cupboard. Or you can choose to spend time in the "living room" (it is about 100 sq meters!) to play snooker or simply browse through the old photo albums to discover more about the castle's recent history. If the weather is nice, you can spend time strolling in the huge and beautiful French garden. Prince Nicolas, the landlord, is just as quirky as his castle. Don't expect a traditional innkeeper, just a gentleman, unapologetically himself, welcoming you to his home.

You need to accept the fact that place is still under restoration.

Stylish old palace. You feel the history at every corner. Very welcoming host. The place that I have caught the best sleep I remember.

A charming owner, who went out of his way to maximise the comfort of our stay. The chateau is beautiful and crammed with fabulous antique furniture. If you want to stay somewhere genuinely different, this should be your number one choice in the area!

A very special experience, staying in a chateau with the owner and all the original furnishing. The prince as our host gave us a special tour of the house, told us a lot about the history of the chateau and gave us a lot of tips for places to visit and where to eat.

The little town of Maiche is not offering a lot of restaurant opportunities, at least on Tuesdays.

Great welcome from the owner who happens to be a… Prince . Exceptionnel historical place, great garden

Different to the Prince, the Princess did not wish to be disturbed while she was having a meal in the common kitchen, what she communicated in a distinctive and a bit insensitive way.

The atmosphere in the house is relaxed and calm. Prince Nicolas Guedroitz is most welcoming, helpful, likes conversation and obviously loves to share his family house and it’s history. The kitchen is a place to meet, chat and have a tea. The chateau is an extraordinary charming and unique place to stay and either dive into an authentic historical interior and a bit of an aristocratic family history or just to relax and enjoy the huge rooms and the garden and forget about all the rush and problems of the world outside.

the bed room isn’t a space to relax in. It lacks soft furnishings, and would benefit from a kettle and a radio. guests are welcome to use the families kitchen to prepare and eat food however. The booking dot com site stated it’s bed and breakfast, however, this is a payment in addition.

The property is a stunning , Architectural Gem. The English speaking owner , Nicolas , loves his Home , and is an enthusiastic , aristocratic host who is actively improving and renovating the property. the Grounds are vast and yet it sits in the centre of Maiche Town.

This accomodation is more as beautiful. It's a room in an old castle, full with original paintings, a fireplace, a desk from the last century (or before), comfortable bed. It's original with a beautiful flair of former centuries. Bathroom is modern. The shower is installed in a room as big as the shower, the washing basin and toilette in an other small room direct connected to the room. The doors are in general unlocked and a huge salon before the room invites for relaxing and reading. An outperformed WLAN....no breakfast, but a coffee in the private kitchen on a long table and at my morning Mozarts piano concerto No 25 in the background. It's a special accomodation.

Very warm and friendly welcome from the owner. A castle in excellent condition, with public and familal history. Listening the Prince is fantastic history lesson. Furnitures,tapistries and paintings from the family collection .

I think with some funding the place would make a stunning 5-star establishment.

Authentic experience, amazing staff. We will be back.

Chateau Montalembert is an incredible place to sleep. As in the words of Michelin: worthy of a trip. Very friendly and courteous host, beautiful room and a castle full of books and artefacts really belonging to the setting. the castle is kept in original state, even the servants corridors between the rooms are still there! Don't expect a hotel with all kinds of luxury but an authentic experience. Loved it

Best host ever, it was a pleasure to be his guest

Large castle room, high ceilings, beautiful curtains and walldesigns. Lots of attention from the castle ‘lord’ full time busy restoring the building.

Stay was too short!

Incredible taste of history and opulence with a delightful host. Like staying in a museum!

Stayed in July 2021

The castle and its lord are quite homely and welcoming. There is quite a lot of history in the castle, and the prince will do his best to make sure you are comfortable.

The host was a committed man - The premises can do with a fresh up of the basis sanitary accommodation.
