Castle in the woods with private SPA 45 min from Paris and Reims, 25 min Disney

The castle was amazing, full of character and charm. It’s was clean and comfy. The bedrooms were amazing, each with individual outside access. They had fireplaces and wardrobes and showers all with different characters. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked and functional. The hot tub was amazing and bbq and outside seating areas were great. The setting was so quite yet walking distance to village with shop and beautiful baker.Not many negatives; very steep, stone stairs so not advisable for small children or elderly/disabled (although you can access from outside and avoid the stairs). Some spiders and ants but nothing that would put us off going back. No aircon but there were fans in each bedroom.Overall we loved it and would highly recommend.Family with 10 & 12 yrs olds.

Amazing property in an incredible setting. The layout didn't work perfectly for us as we had a 1yr old toddler (lots of dangerous areas and sharp edges - we should have brought protection with us, so it's our fault) and the stairs could be tricky for older people. Some areas need some repair, like patio doors and render falling off the building. But these don't detract too much from the overall magical experience.

Excellent property in the woods. It was clean and bright; everything was as good as it looked in the pictures! It was exceptionally well kitted out having everything you could possibly want – and more. The run from Calais was very easy and directions great. Comms with Camille was also very easy - and Google translate filled the gaps where I was a bit rusty!Lots to see and do in the area, many little restaurants - Auberge du Petit Morin in La-Ferté-sous-Jouarre was brill as was Chez Mamies in the village - 15 min walk(?).We went to Paris antique hunting, lots of Champagne tasting, chateaus, cheese making, visited a few of the many Allied & German cemeteries and museums in the area. We used the jacuzzi in the courtyard many evenings, sitting with the lights off drinking fizz and looking up at the hundreds of stars! Would definitely go back without changing anything. Merci d'avoir partagé ta maison avec nous, Camille. À bientôt… Tim & Eleanor

Wonderful stay at a gorgeous property. Everything was there, and thank you for the bottle of Champagne too! Lovely for our daughter's 21st birthday celebration!

The most magical place to stay! Full of charm and character. The trees around the castle are full of birds and listening to them while sitting in the sun is idyllic.

The Folie du Chanois is an excellent place to stay for a family group. A beautiful gite surrounded by lovely private gardens and woodland. An ideal place to relax and unwind. Camille is an excellent host and nade us feel very welcome.

Wir fanden unseren Aufenthalt im le chanois sehr schön. Das Schlösschen ist wirklich toll und liegt Mitten in der Natur. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass es viele Insekten gibt, womit wir aber gut klar gekommen sind. In der Unterkunft gibt es viel zu entdecken. Die Bäder und Betten waren sehr sauber und letztere auch sehr gemütlich. Für unsere Prinzessin gab's sogar ein richtiges Prinzessinnen-Zimmer :-) Die Lage ist auf jeden Fall top. Man ist schnell im Disneyland und in Paris (Tip: Zugverbindung A ab Bahnhof Torcy). Auch in der näheren Umgebung gibt es viel zu erkunden. Die Bäckerei im Ort ist sehr zu empfehlen und auch zu Fuß schnell zu erreichen. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist eher abenteuerlich. Ca. 200 m teilweise recht holpriger Waldweg. Sportlichere Fahrzeuge sollten hier sehr vorsichtig fahren. Alles in allem eine tolles Ferienhaus und nur zu empfehlen.

We stayed as a family of 7 to celebrate our daughter’s 7th birthday (age range 7-78!) Only 30 minutes from Disneyland which was perfect for a day trip. Driving up to the pink castle in the woods is just magical. The property and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, a real gem in the French countryside. The house itself is exceptional, very well kept and clean, a unique place to stay. Camille was wonderful, we couldn’t ask for more. A high light for us was champagne tasting by the hot tub with Ophelie from Cricco vineyard. Needless to say a few bottles have travelled home with us! Our children (711) spent hours in with garden bug hunting and following the gecko’s. If you love nature you’ll love this house. We were very sad to leave and will be making a return trip next year. We would highly recommend this properly.

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Pink Castle. The location was just superb and the castle and grounds themselves were picturesque. We will most definitely be back again. The host Camille could not have been more helpful and she really helped us out when our hire car fell through. She arranged another one for us and then was kid enough to ask her family to take us back to airport for our return flight. The only one negative about the castle would be that the rooms are quite far away from each other and it’s not ideal for families with small children. The small attic room above the master bedroom would be ideal for a small child. Wonderful stay and the weather was just beautiful!

Life amongst the trees in a pink turreted folie should be a surrealist’s dream or a childish Fantasy. Grandchildren and Grown Ups alike were enchanted and delighted to stay, albeit too briefly, in this ‘sleeping beauty’ castle hidden amongst the trees. Torn between: The peaceful confines of privately secluded spacious sunlit rooms furnished by up or down spiral staircases with medieval doors and subtly heated floors Or the Mad Hatter bonkers busyness of ‘downtown’ Disneyland Paris. What welcome relief to return exhausted to a warm welcoming hot tub amongst the trees and retire to a thoughtfully designed room with a comfortable bed. All our expectations met exceeded looking forward to the next chapter in this, our very own fairy tale.
